Mostly nurse sharks. One Black Tip Reef Shark.

Am I correct in saying the Nurse Sharks are not the dangerous, but the Black tip can be?

None of them are, really. Even Great Whites, the only reason divers are caged is because they're chumming. If the shops were not intentionally inducing aggressive behavior, it's unlikely that they would bother the divers.
We've dove with Nurse sharks, black and white tip, grey reef, and Bull sharks. And I've seen one hammerhead in the distance.
Bottom line: there isn't anything down there that sees us and thinks "lunch!" If a diver gets bitten (I'm specify divers, because surfers look exactly like seals...) it's because they've done something stupid. We try not to be stupid.

I tend to agree with Xue

I much prefer this use of the toilet:

Buncha wimps...

No diving this morning. But we're doing two night dives tonight.
That's right, Xue, we're going to be in the ocean in the dark, making it even easier for the sharks to sneak up on us!

I like to feed anemones on night dives.

I have a question.. I have seen the use of the term
Tae Kwon Do player on facebook lately..my question is
why 'player' - I don't play Tae Kwon Do, I don't play
while at Tae Kwon Do.. I train at Tae Kwon Do - I am
a fighter..

Anyone else see this or get the reasoning..??

If TKD is a sport... what do you call people doing a sport? Players. I've seen it for a couple martial arts, especially those with a more overt sporting side.

I call them athletes.

I hate the term player in that context.

I've seen it in reference to judoka, as judo players. I wouldn't sake offense of someone called me a BJJ player.

 

[Tames D]

Steve: BJJ Player
