lots of articles in the local rags upon the west coast last week about a great white that has been seen cruising around skye. 2 divers (one a marine biologist which adds some credance to the story) were in the water and saw a big shark above and a sshort distance away. they thought it was a basking shark so must of thought \"big friendly plankton eating thing, lets go saw hello\" they apparently swan up to it and when close too realised what it was. The quote in the paper was priceless. \" we realised it was a great white once we were within a few metres of it, estimating its length at between 15 and 20 feet, we though it would be best to swim away from it in the opposite direction and get back in the boat\" no shit sherlock! apparently it circled the boat for a bit then went looking for ice creams (ok I made the last bit up, a homage to the pathetic sharks of the glory days of \"Viz\")
there have been a few sightings of it around the north and west coasts of sky over the summer.
Whilst we are on the subject, we didn\'t get to see it, although we looked all over, there is a humpback whale currently cruising the Sound of Sleet. Cracking photo of it taken from the Skye ferry, estimated at 30 metres long! (Note to self: must buy a bigger landing net)

Richy, Already tried that one mate
. Was diving with them over in Egypt in July, Mind you they were only little ones, 3 - 4 foot, still a bit frightening though.
