Is anyone up to diving with a bear?

What It’s Like: To Dive with Wild Bears

Why doesn’t the bear climb over the cage walls?

From John_giu: No dumber then diving with sharks, I guess,

No, I’ve dove with sharks, them I trust! I was bitten by a bear cub, one of those stupid AFV momments but before video cameras.

A shark won’t reach into a cage and pull you out piece by piece, a bear could and I don’t think the pepper spray will work underwater either :(

Bears can swim just fine but how well can they free dive? I wonder if I descended if a bear would follow me down?

To be perfectly honest, I think that would be a dumb decision. That being said.... I would do it if the opportunity came about...
