August 5th, 2008 2:03 pm ET I normally don’t think about diving vacations, but since seeing Anderson’s adventures recently, my mind has changed. I hope to have a similar experience seeing sharks up-close and get the adrenaline going. I’m now more interested in learning about these sharks and how I can help in their conservation. Lilibeth |

August 5th, 2008 2:05 pm ET Cool vid…thanks for sharing! That had to be absolutely amazing getting to do that. I hope we get to see footage of the 30 foot dive also that Anderson talked about. One thing though…is it really wise to be holding on to the bar in the front of the cage when the shark can get to your hand right there…I mean really!? LOL Just wondering! LOL Cindy…Ga. |

August 5th, 2008 2:05 pm ET It never ceases to amaze me…the beauty of these wonderful underwater creatures…and yet they can be so deadly. I applaud you for being brave enough to go down into the deep sea of unknown to allow all of us the ability to gain some knowledge and insight to the goins on down there. |

August 5th, 2008 2:35 pm ET Hi there, Great video!! Isn’t it so cool under water? It feels like a different world that’s for sure. You can get so caught up in the moment down there. At least that’s how it feels for me. It’s really cool the way our ears hear the different sounds under water. Also, the sharks swimming by right there in front of you must have been such a sight!! Great work. Have a good day, see you later. |

August 5th, 2008 2:57 pm ET Anderson, it looks like you are hanging onto the bars at the front of the cage, where the shark is going to hit! It just looks dangerous from this perspective–glad you enjoyed yourself. |

August 5th, 2008 6:58 pm ET The Great White shark is a majestic creature that is misunderstood. The movie Jaws gave them a bad rap. By the way Anderson, you looked great in the wet suit. Emily - St. Paul, MN |

August 5th, 2008 8:47 pm ET Cool video Anderson! Just how hard were you holding on to that bar though? When the shark came at you the first time did you feel like a shark treat just waiting to be eaten? Glad you weren’t that sharks favorite flavor. Thanks for sharing. Annie Kate |
