Shark Week Reject Series

Welcome to the Shark Week Reject Series. I recently placed a bunch of caches around Folsom Lake to acknowledge the vast number of sharks out there and impart some knowledge about those sharks. I hid a lot more caches than got published. These hides were rejected for various reasons. Most of the rejected hides turned out to be a little too far from the posted coordinates in the geo-art. Some were just placed as extras in case some of the hides were blocked by puzzles I had not solved yet. Some were named for sharks or shark related ideas that just didn’t make the cut.  

Shark Cage

A shark-proof cage is a metal cage used by an underwater diver to observe dangerous types of sharks up close in relative safety. This can include various species of shark, but the most commonly observed within the confines of a cage are the great white shark and the bull shark, which are both known to be aggressive at times. Shark-proof cages are built to withstand being rammed and bitten by sharks, and are intended to protect the user from potential injury. Cages can provide a visual and tactile deterrent to sharks. Cage-diving allows people to closely monitor sharks for scientific, commercial or recreational purposes, and sometimes interact with them.
