Mexico

Spent time off Mexico recently as part of my training in our Virgin Oceanic mini-submarine, diving with Great White Sharks.There are not a lot of them but the ones you see are huge, 20 feet or more, larger than the submarine. I had my first Virgin Oceanic dives training. The sub handled beautifully, straight down smoothly, straight up 100 feet, bursting through the surface of the water. Check out the video and you'll see that the Great White Shark was close enough to lean out and touch if we were not safely ensconced in the sub. Graham Hawkes, the genius behind the submarine, was shouting like an excited schoolboy and so was I. We had came to find the Great White Shark, and we had found it. This was the first time a mini-sub had ever had the chance to fly with a Great White. What a privilege it was. By the way, did you know that sharks have two penises? Well the males do anyway.
