Let me be the voice of your Mother on this:

"Are you crazy?"

superdog · 12 April 2015, 10:51 AM

Wow. U are a bad ass and my hero.

Two things in life scare me. Bears and sharks. You literally hitched a ride. Omg.

I'm ur biggest fan.

snhrph · 12 April 2015, 10:53 AM

To the OP : sorry to rain on your parade, but what you did is absolutely inexcusable. Why would you harass the aquatic life form??? It is only due to the behavior of dumb a$$e$ like you we can no longer wear gloves when diving in the Caymans or have to be babysat by a dive master in Costa Rica.

What is so wrong with admiring the grace of the animal from a distance? Why do you feel the urge to hitch a ride on it? You need to show that your balls are bigger then your brain? Well, you have...

I am NOT a tree hugger by any stretch of imagination, but I hate being told time and again on the dive boat that I can't bring this or that with me and I need to make sure that I TAKE ONLY PICTURES AND LEAVE ONLY BUBBLES. This is only due to to the behavior of tourists like YOU!!! Thanks a lot!!!

rolexlovegmt · 12 April 2015, 11:12 AM

Some one gonna get hurt REAL bad.

mike · 12 April 2015, 11:16 AM

You da make pal.

Hey Rob,....got an idea, next time you do that send me your other watches,...uh...for safekeeping...yeah, that's it.

rolexnub · 12 April 2015, 11:17 AM

It's safe because you are wearing your DSSD

Ruud Van Driver · 12 April 2015, 11:22 AM

Now there's a starting picture for what could be the coolest ever "Your Rolex and your ......." thread

viper9669 · 12 April 2015, 11:36 AM

Cool pics!

DEFINITELY not a nurse shark.

What the heck were you thinking Rob, a death wish

Please be more careful!!!!
Not much good for your Rolex to be inside a shark's belly

I do agree with what you are saying but maybe educating people would be more productive than berating them.

I'd need a new set of swim trunks after that...

iazrollie · 12 April 2015, 12:55 PM

Safe for your Rolex, but not safe for you!

VICI · 12 April 2015, 12:58 PM

Great pic. You're still nuts! 👍

Chewbacca · 12 April 2015, 01:02 PM

nice pic Rob.

DJJon · 12 April 2015, 01:07 PM

Amazing and don't let the Bastards (so far only singular bastard) get you down.

sleddog · 12 April 2015, 01:08 PM

You know Stan, I have anticipated the 'I'm not a tree hugger type, but!?' response.... That is why I've not pinpointed the actual location!!

I wasn't a 'tourist' here, I was (quite a few generations removed) a local! It is acceptable to be part of the ocean chain, and one with the ocean here. You can stand on your high horse and preach all that you wish, but where this was taken is completely part of the indigenous behavior, and part of the the beliefs of the local islanders....
Dumbass or not, and I've been both, before you decide to berate me, step down and read about the relationship of the local ocean bearing beliefs before you pass judgment!

Deep breath Stan, and leave those 'Bubbles' of ignorance elsewhere...

My real intent here, was to light heartedly show that a Rolex need not be babied, but enjoyed no matter the circumstance.

Correct. A lemon shark as already posted.... a wonderful and majestic dweller of the seas Jason, and one you've probably encounted before knowing your diving experience..?

I agree. There's a place/time/species & location.. So many factors. The ocean and it's inhabitance do need protection without doubt. Understanding and facts are always key!

regnant · 12 April 2015, 07:27 PM

I kinda expected fish �� related photos but this proves to become beyond my imagination. Wow,incredible stuff but please be careful, I would not rely on these animals, these might be unpredictable

Andad · 12 April 2015, 07:35 PM

Are you on the right or the left in that first pix Rob?

MonBK · 12 April 2015, 07:41 PM

Someone said run on water and I agree, I would break the speed record.

You're a brave soul Rob.

dysondiver · 12 April 2015, 07:52 PM

now thats a set of pics ,,, epic

jack81 · 12 April 2015, 07:55 PM

Is that shark real or made of rubber?

Very nice shot Rob

Johny · 12 April 2015, 08:11 PM

great pics Rob.

mailman · 12 April 2015, 08:55 PM

Very cool Rob

I think you're safe. No way the shark could handle the DSSD if he bit into it

Gaijin · 12 April 2015, 10:01 PM

I could have never posted a pic like that. Because there would have been an embarrassing poop trail in the water..

No way I would do that Rob. Great pics though..

HL65 · 12 April 2015, 10:05 PM

Very cool my friend!!

And much better than the standard "Is it safe to shower with" thread.

travisb · 12 April 2015, 10:10 PM

How cool! Love the tag a long pic!

kilyung · 12 April 2015, 11:32 PM

Yes Rob, it is safe to wear the DSSD with bright floral trunks.

AK797 · 13 April 2015, 12:42 AM

Beast could take down that shark! Great shots!

KBM · 13 April 2015, 12:49 AM

That's awesome.
