2. They say love gives you wings…or at least Mel Gibson’ character does in 1997’s Conspiracy Theory.

3. It turns out that the sharks who show up for those shark diving gigs are, in fact, very real. And though they typically just swim around the cage, they do occasionally do shark things…like try to eat GoPro-wielding tourists inside the cage, to their complete and terrified surprise.
