All I could picture is a scene from any nature doc with lions coralling a herd of zebras to weed out the slowest/oldest/sickest. A wet-suited human swimming with seals is basically that unfortunate animal. Sorry to hear about it, though surprised to hear it was the first death in 9 years. Somehow I thought there were more. In Kauai last year, a mate on our Na Pali cruise had a curious shark tattoo. I asked what it was and it turned out his dad had survived a great white attack in Oregon. He moved his family to the islands and still swims and surfs every day. His book is here: http://www.shark-bite.com/ And the tat is a line drawing of the image on the book cover. That shark pic is a classic! You'd think whoever originally captioned it would have thought better of passing off the GG Bridge as "somewhere in South Africa".
