<description><![CDATA[The Telegraph has a great excerpt from 
Raising the Dead by Philip Finch.  The book is about the recovery of the body of  Deon Dreyer a full 10 years after his death in Boesmansgat (Bushman&#8217;s Hole).

<description><![CDATA[16 year old David Wentz found a 3&#8243; petrified shark tooth (technically Carcharodon megalodon) while snorkeling near his Michigan home last summer.
The 60+ foot shark has been extinct for over 2 million years, and it is suspected that the tooth was moved to the area by humans (either modern or prehistoric).

<description><![CDATA[Filmed at a depth of 1000m, a submersible spooked a 6-gill shark and got some great footage. (The lasers are 6&#8243; apart, and the excited commentary is from University of Hawaii Oceanography Professor Jeff Drazen.)  See the video after the break.

<description><![CDATA[According to Fortune&#8217;s list of Top 100 Employers, the most interesting 
employee perk is free scuba lessons in Chesapeake Energy&#8217;s on-site olympic-sized pool. (My biggest employee perk? A 4-hour round-trip commute all summer, usually done in the Jeep with the top and doors off.)

<description><![CDATA[Last year, only about 12% of the 1533-ton quota was caught.  The huge schools (between 80 and 200) of several-hundred-pound fish are gone. Suspected reasons range from overfishing in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean to environmental stress, but the fact is that we don't know enough about the bluefin tuna to make any real guesses.]]></description>
