(CNN) -- Imagine
you're sitting at the bottom of the ocean, amidst 500 sharks in a feeding
frenzy.Would you: A.) Swim to the surface as fast as your trembling legs could
take you. B.) Find a weapon to arm yourself with. C.) Fall asleep.Brett McBride
fell asleep for a minute. While hundreds of three-meter-long Galapagos sharks
swarmed around him during a feeding frenzy off the coast of Costa Rica.The
46-year-old shark wrangler doesn't suffer from some kind of severe narcolepsy.
Instead, he was merely proving a point -- these fearsome predators aren't going
to be interested in you, if you're not interested in them."It would seem
crazy, but it's not. It really just shows you how bad a rap sharks get. They're
just like any other fish," said McBride.
"Galapagos sharks, they're not big mammal eaters. It
would take them probably hours to get the courage up to attack you if you were
adrift at sea."
But then, McBride isn't like most people. The captain of
science vessel Ocearch spends his days handling sharks as part of one of the
largest tagging projects ever undertaken.
Since it launched in 2007, Ocearch has tagged over 100
sharks. But it wasn't until National Geographic started featuring the team in
hugely successful TV series "Shark Men," that they became something
of prime time celebrities. And the most fearless shark man of all? Brett
McBride.
