World's Scariest Shark Dives

If diving with sharks no longer gets the adrenaline going, then maybe you've been hitting the wrong spots. Forbes Traveler assembled a panel of noted shark experts to compile a list of the world's scariest shark dives, and here are the top three:
1. Dangerous Reef in the Neptune Islands off the southern coast of Australia.
2. Shark Alley near the Dyer Islands off the southern coast of South Africa.
3. Guadelupe Island off the coast of Mexico.

Accidents do happen -- you don't want blood in the water, or anyone fishing -- but in general you're more likely to be killed by a falling vending machine than a shark bite. But if the real thing is a little too much for you, you can check out the slide show from Forbes Traveler from the safety of your desk chair.
