I've had the pleasure of shooting video & diving with large numbers of Galapagos Sharks off Cocos Island, Costa Rica while on a trips on the Okeanos Aggressor.

At times they can be very curious and even aggressive. There were times when they actually came in and bumped us. If they really started to get into an aggressive mode we calmly exited the water.

None of us was ever "Attacked." This is just their normal behavior.

But we all know that "Shark Attack" stories always draw public interest, ever since Jaws hit the big screen.

What is really scary is to see the outlaw boats that catch these and other type of sharks with fins hung up and drying in the sun as they come into these sanctuaries to profit from these magnificent animals.

That's what should be featured on Larry King!
