I felt something brush against my leg. There was a moment of panic and I high tailed it back to shore. Never stepped or will step in again. I doubt it was a megalodon, unless your many moons ago go back 2.6 million years +. But it could have been a jelly fish or another beach goer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the safest reasons, now we have this to contend with, little Johnny weeing in the sea does not even get a mention on this list: From plastic bags to pesticides - most of the waste we produce on land eventually reaches the oceans, either through deliberate dumping or from run-off through drains and rivers.

oldrover Posted January 19, 2017 #29 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Well speaking as a shark attack survivor (bitten by a dogfish), I think that once you've looked into those black eyes, lifeless eyes, like a doll's eyes, it never really leaves you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldrover Posted January 19, 2017 #33 Share Posted January 19, 2017 A big one, nearly 24 inches. But its attitude.... I should in fairness pint out that it wasn't completely off (my arm), but I was in ITU for a week afterwards, but then I was there the week before too, I work there. But it is literally true, I was bitten by a shark, and was in ITU for a week afterwards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
