Michael England

I am Michael T. England, former Magician/Escape Artist, antique padlock and restraint collector, Locksmith, guitar enthusiast, scuba diver, and shark nut. In 1975, my Dad took me to see that summer's blockbuster movie, "JAWS" and it changed my life. I was afraid of sharks for the longest time and was fearful to get in any body of water (fresh water or salt water) for many, many years. In time, my fear turned into total fascination with these strange yet beautiful creatures. My #1 bucket list item was to cage dive with the sharks and in August, 2011, I had a chance to dive with The Great White Sharks off the coast of Guadalupe Island, Mexico (a popular migration stop for The Great White). I got into a wet suit and climbed down into the cage and I haven't been right since! LOL! I really LOVE these gorgeous animals and would like to one day become a real advocate in helping their survival from their biggest enemy.......man.
