I remember those lads ending up throttling a live chicken, or swimming with barracuda fish. My dare was to jump into an enclosure outside a bar which was occupied by several small sharks, around three to five feet in length, including two hammerheads. Being so drunk I didn't care, I more or less dived in and watched as these fish swam around me. Watching in horror and disbelief, the lads yanked me out before anything serious happened.
For my sins I was court martialled the following day.

I know Belize as i lived there two years in Belize City I went to San Pedro for my honeymoon .
We went swimming with the sharks there in Shark ally .
The boatman was drunk and was tipping chum in like no tomorrow but luckily the sharks knew the difference between tourist and tuna !

I absolutely loved Belize it is a nature lovers paradise but the mosquitoes are as big as Messerschmitts and just as vicious .
At least in Buttonwood Bay which is where we lived .

Fantastic, Muddy.
This shark enclosure was at the back of a diner called Fido's and had a bar called the Purple Parrot bar. Do you remember the place at all, and do you recall a perforner called Dennis Woolf who used to play Jimmy Buffett songs at night? Some of the best times of my life were spent in Belize.

Working on the main deck of a ship in the midst of a hurricane and watching mountains of waves crashing over the rails. I, and the crew around me luckily had life lines attached, but if the line broke ....

Hi

I once stood on a krait, not a good thing to do.

I am very wary of snakes, so had my snake leggings on, so very lucky.

Re: What is the most dangerous thing you have ever done?

A few years ago I was walking down the lane by our previous property and picked up a snake, which was in middle of the road. I didn't want it to get run over. It wasn't a bit grateful, it started to bite my shoe when I put it down. It was sometime later I realised it was an adder, WHOOPS!
