I don't now what kinda goggles he was using, but I want some. Mine
wouldn't protect against a shark bite...

PS: WTF is a "weight vest" - an aussie term for a weight belt-type
doohickey, or just some more stellar reporting by the CBC?

"Veteran diver John Smythe said the shark, believed to be a great white, likely believed Nerhus was
