For years, John Moore and Tanner Mansell ran shark diving tours off the coast of Florida. One day, they came across a fishing line in the middle of the ocean – with over a dozen sharks caught on it. “This looked like something very illegal going on. And we felt like if we didn’t act, these sharks would definitely die.”

You ever see a town just quietly do something unthinkable? Bloomington, Indiana did. We were hiking the hills, sipping coffee strong enough to make you think you could move them, debating the absurdity of greatness. Then one day, greatness raised its cream and crimson flag. A town known for hoops. We make history. You'll want to do the same next time you visit. Bloomington, not what you expected, still absurdly great.

If a shark is coming towards you, you know, just most of the time just staying calm and just maintaining eye contact is going to do the trick. It's when people start freaking out and flailing around is when they're like, "Oh, is that a prey? Why is the, why is the energy so high? Why is this thing looking like prey," right? I mean, I have a hard time getting sharks close to me most of the time because I'm, like, wanting them to get close.
