I get that they are dangerous, but I've been in the water and seen some good sized ones swim close, but never freaked out. I'm not stupid around them or anything, just not scared. Same with snakes, spiders, etc., they just don't get to me.I’m the nerd that loves shark week. I’ve seen one while I was snorkeling off St. George’s Island, it was small. I’m sure if I saw a large one, I’d be scared.
