"Tuna Wranglers"

Post by Nwbrewer »

Did anybody else watch "Tuna Wranglers" on Discovery last night? A few intereting diving related jobs.

I like the guys who have the job of getting in the tuna pen and wrestling the sharks out of the pen. :smt119 I wasn't paying close enough attention to remeber what kind of shark it was, but it appeared about the same size as the divers. :pale:

Anyway another cool show frm the Discovery channel. Lot's of cool UW shots of the tuna also.

i also watched it last night, one thing that stuck with me was when the "pen" is full of tuna if they start swimming in a circle they can create such a strong vortex it will suck a diver down to the bottom of the pen at 300 fsw
Chin high, puffed chest, we step right to it
The choice is there ain't no choice but to pursue it
