Cool pics . You gotta feel for the seal though. I wouldn't want jaws chasing my dumbass. Anyways, the gill area of a Shark is another area where the fish is vunerable. Whites are somewhat rare in Hawaiian waters but there have been Great White sightings in Hawai'i over the years. If I remember correctly, there was a white sighting off of the Waianae coast last year. Whites have also been sighted in Waikiki. Btw, Mano is the Hawaiian word for sharks.

Barefoot, awesome "lesson" Thanks, dumbass. Mano is good to learn. If I'm ever out in the water and everyone is screaming and running for the shore yelling "MANO!! MANO!!" I won't take a minute to look at my hand (Spanish, is my second language) and will probably follow suit towards the shore. I'll take your word that the gill is a sore spot for Manos. I remember seeing on the news last year sometime the Great White sightings. Definitely wouldn't wanna be the seal... how big does anyone think these sharks are? Not much for scale here.

All I know is that I'm now reconsidering my previous post (from another thread) regarding the use of one of IB's shoes as a boat to travel to Hawaii!!

Are those the flying sharks that Wolfgang spent a plethora of chronal units training during his visits to Hawaii?

You don't get many Great Whites off Hawaii because they prefer cooler waters. Interestingly, the Santa Barbara Channel is a breeding area for them. Every once in a while someone gets munched there.

That's because we have a bunch of seals, a great white's main source of food. Every time I go out to the islands I cross my fingers in hopes of seeing one, but I haven't seen any yet. Always see the seals though.
