Diving In The UK Still Isn’t Very Appealing!
Not that going SCUBA diving in the UK ever has been appealing, but now it is even less appealing with the news that more and more killer sharks are flocking over to our shores because their home waters haven’t got a big enough supply of prey.
The Great White Shark was made famous by the 1975 film by George Lucas – Jaws. The Great White shark, weighs in at more than a tonne and let’s be honest, if you’re diving of the coast of the UK you’ll be pretty darn cold, then to be greeted by a monstrously huge killer shark you’d be petrified!
More and more fishermen though want to come to the help of the public by trying to catch them, and there is some kind of a competition between the respected fishermen in the country as to who will be the first angler to catch a “white death” in the UK.
Speaking about the fish being in the UK, respected angler Steve Mills said: “There are definitely great whites in our waters. The only reason they do not get caught by fisherman is because they do not use the right tackle.
“They will be here because of the stocks of mackerel and will probably be feeding on pollock and cod.
“There have been sightings in the past but no photographic evidence but that definitely does not mean they are not here.”
So really if you are planning on going diving around the UK anytime soon we wouldn’t advise it, there are probably safer places in the world to go SCUBA diving, or are there, if the Great Whites are coming over to the UK, where will they go next, who knows…
