“Sharknado” is real!

When the syfy channel aired “sharknado” last year, we all assumed that unlike  the Megalodon: The Monster Shark Lives! “documentary” on the Discovery channel, it was meant to be a spoof. Well, we have been wrong.

Just before the release of “Sharknado 2”, Tara Reid, in an interview with GQ magazine said:  

“I mean, the chances of it happening are very rare, but it can happen actually. Which is crazy. Not that it – the chances of it are, like, you know, it’s like probably ‘pigs could fly’. Like, I don’t think pigs could fly, but actually sharks could be stuck in tornados. There could be a sharknado.” 

Ahhhh,…… well,……. wow!

Tara, I mean the chances of it happening are very rare, but it can happen actually, which is crazy, not that it, the chances of it are rare, like, you know, it’s like you actually have a coherent thought, like I don’t think you could have a coherent thought, but actually you could be waking up one day, with a coherent thought. You could actually make sense one day!

In a related story, Discovery Channel has announced that Tara Reid will be joining them as a “shark expert” on  shark after dark.  We applaud their decision to add Tara to their lineup of shark experts. It will greatly improve the quality of those experts.

If you want to see those sharks in their natural environment, before they’re all sucked up in a tornado, join us on one of our our expeditions.

Shark Encounters on the Horizon!

2013 Guadalupe Island.

What a day! To say that the shark action Friday was ‘good,’ would be a huge understatement. We saw over 10 sharks that have been previously identified, along with at least 3 others that we didn’t know.

The action started when our first divers entered the water at 7am and it didn’t stop, even when we stopped diving after running out of daylight. Just before everyone got out of the cages at the end of the day, we had a complete breach right by the stern of our vessel. The sharky cast of characters included some of our favorite sharks that we have known since 2001. Chugey, Thor, Bite Face, Jaques, Squire, Gunther and Johnny along with some newer friends like #89, #130 and #146.

After another excellent dinner (Rib eye steak with mashed potatoes and string beans) we were treated to a presentation on the great white sharks, by resident shark expert Dr. Mauricio Hoyos.  What can I say, I love my job.       (pictured: left, Chugey; right, Johnny)
