you couldn't ing pay me to go in the ocean at night time or early in the morning. it's just not worth the risk and i don't care that people say "oh that never happens, bla bla bla" yes it does. they did a special on the news in south florida about how many sharks are just right off the coast at any given time during the day. a plane flew over the miami beach coastline and there were tons of them! u could see the shadows in the light turquois water.
i have two uncles that were pro wind surfers and both have lives on boats (yacht captain and the other one lives on a sailboat) and i generally grew up snorkeling and going on boats and swimming with them as a kid and i've seen my share of sharks while snorkeling and it's pretty ing scary.
i had about an 8 ft bull shark swim right under one time in the bahamas when i was like 11. i was with my uncle who had a spear gun though and the shark swam away as soon as it saw us. it wasn't as traumatizing as one would think but for a split second you definitely hold your breath like "oh ". but my uncle had to fight a shark off one time cuz it went after a fish he had just speared. :nervous:

Well to go into depth, I'd been in/out of psychiatric care since I was 16. When I turned 18, I started hearing friendly voices and having weird dreams about a little girl. Then I started seeing the girl when I was awake(although mostly out of the corner out of my eye or in brief glimpses). It started driving me a bit nuts, maybe insane. The voices became more aggressive with instructions and scolding words.
I still had my doctor who recommended me I be admitted to a serious ward (not just one of them dinky ones where you draw pictures and sing songs). I skipped a few visits from him, skipped work, stopped eating, stopped sleeping and was eventually admitted in handcuffs. :)
Maybe I wasn't in the right reality, but through my perception, I thought it was over.
I feel all better now. But 2 years ago I was robbed a couple of wankers, and when I filed the police report, they asked me if I was "really robbed" since I had a "history of schizophrenia".
huh, that's nuts. just out of curiousity.. what were "friendly voices"? like, "hey how are you" type stuff or what? and when they got hostile what did they demand you do? what'd it sound like? was it your own voice? the little girl's voice? any event in your life that you remember that triggered it?? i always wondered about that stuff.. it's fascinating.

I wondered the exact same thing, i imagine it as a little girl giggling and calling his name and telling him to do stuff

I was driving back from snowshoeing at Rattlesnake point with my g/f at the time. As you come to the road that snakes down the escarpment, there is a 90 degree turn at the crest of the ridge...followed by a 200' drop.
I was driving carefully, given the snowy conditions, doing maybe 50 in a 60 zone. During the day it was warm and sunny, followed by a cold snap at dusk. I guess the snow had melted and flash frozen because when I applied my brakes about 100' from the turn nothing happened. I felt the ABS try to get a grip and watched the guardrail getting closer and closer. It wasn't so much a guardrail as a collection of wooden stakes, I would have gone right through them.
So, the cliff is getting closer and closer, I'm still doing 50 - only sliding. Once within 50-80' of the edge, I tried to steer into a skid...nothing happened. With my wheels hard over, one tyre finally caught a grip and I started a slow rotation clockwise. The car is now sliding sideways towards the cliff and it entered my mind to just bail out of the car, but there would have been no time to get the g/f moving out as well. Luckily, there was a bare patch of road right at the top of the hill and when I slid onto it I started to slow down, finally hitting the posts with my driver's side rear-quarter panel - just hard enough to dent it.
Had I not slid sideways and hit the bare patch, I'm convinced I would have been riding a 2000lb toboggan down the side of the cliff.
My g/f and I sat there, stunned for a few seconds before regaining composure and driving home...carefully.

no you would be surprised what is out there I was snorkeling near the edge of some rocks in the Sarasota area and at the end of the rocks the water went from about 3 feet deep to about 7 feet and got really cloudy and as I was looking down I got this strange feeling and looked off to my right into the deep water and saw a huge dark colored shark there for a second, probably 7ft long (couldn't tell exactly how big or what kind of shark the water wasn't clear enough). I only saw it for maybe two seconds and then it turned and swam away, but those were a long two seconds when you know that thing could eat you if it wanted to
