　　There's no end of dangerous sports to try out in Southern Africa－bungee jumping sky-diving water rafting．But for a new rush how about swimming face to face with a killer shark(鲨鱼)！

　　The public seems interested in finding danger in this activity．Cape Town's aquarium(水族馆)has been filled with divers who want to swim with the sharks since it opened its tanks to paying visitors last month．Around 70 tourists aged between 12 and 40 have paid 275 rand(＄ 55)each to spend up to an hour with Maxine Dee and Floyd the aquarium's three sharks．

　　And conservationists(自然资源保护论者)say the project should help change the damage done to the shark's image by the popular movie Jaws ．

　　“People will always pay money to be a bit daring ”said Paul Loetter an aquarium diver．“Most people think every shark is dangerous but they've got the wrong idea．”

　　Each visitor can swim with the sharks and other fish that share their tank guarded by aquarium divers armed only with a stick to keep off any over-friendly sharks．

　　“This is part of a communication and education programme to show sharks one not as bad as everyone makes out ”said Tony McGyre operations manager at the aquarium．

　　Len Compagno head of the South Afican shark research centre agreed “It's no joke to play around with a big dog．In the same way a three-metre-long shark could put a few holes in you ”he said．
