Hawaiian bikini model swims with great white shark

Meet the appropriately-named Ocean Ramsey, a 27-year-old scuba instructor and model who takes the concept of swimming with the sharks literally. She’s taken cage-free dives with great white sharks three times, and not only still has all of her limbs, but finds it quite a rush. “It’s difficult to express the incredible joy and breathtaking emotion experienced locking eyes with a great white shark,” she said. As opposed to sheer terror. Though the Hawaii-based Ramsey doesn’t encourage folks to dip in with the beasts, she feels they’ve been given a bad rap. “Every story needs a villain, and after films like 'Jaws,' it’s just too easy for most media to continue to manipulate the human psyche and ingrain a deeper more absurd terror.” Still skeptical? Scope out these stunning images of Ramsey and a 17-foot shark just, well, getting along. [Source]
