shark free zone

Amity, North Stradbroke Island

This fenced-off area is the ONLY safe place to swim!
Those of you who remember the film 'Jaws' will know the town was called Amity!
The netting trails about a metre down - apparently sharks wont swim under it...
...personally, I need to be convinced!

Nikon Coolpix 7900
1/1400s f/4.8 at 7.8mm iso50 full exif

I too was adventurous and swam in a little bay where the penguins gather, in the Indian Ocean near Cape Town - there is a ring of rocks which makes it 'safer' but I kept my head screwed round on the watch out for an onimous fin. It was like a warm bath! Cheerio, Suey xxx
