Absolute Pressure (2009)
“Uncle Gord said, “let’s shoot some underwater shark video.”
It was morning. We were at Thelma’s Diner. Uncle Gord was talking like it was just another day. I was happy to pretend it was too. If that made him feel better, I was all for it.
“Yeah,” he continued. “We’ll go down in the shark cage.” He grinned. “But we’ll make it exciting. We’ll bring some hamburger in with us.”
I knew what he meant. Our shark cage was ten feet by ten feet by ten feet. Made of aluminum bars spaced every six inches. ...A big square with an open top. There were floats all around the outside, about a quarter of the way down from the top. The floats held the cage upright, but allowed most of it to remain underwater. We lowered tourists into the center of the cage. The tourists had snorkels and masks. They could stand in the cage and duck their heads under the water to look at the sharks.
We brought the sharks in with meat. Bloody meat.
After the cage was lowered into the water, held to the boat by a towrope, we’d throw the meat into the water.MoreLess
