Anderson swims UNPROTECTED with sharks
all around him in South Africa.
Anderson has been reporting on Anderson Cooper 360º all week long so we know nothing bad happened to him in South Africa. It was a good thing we didn't know he was up there doing this crazy thing without us knowing about it. I would have e-mailed him to tell him to stay put in New York or his Mom and I would go to his office and chain him to his desk in front of the camera! Swimming with killer sharks! UNPROTECTED!! It's Crazy!!!

Great Whites: Diving With The Sharkman
60 Minutes: Anderson Cooper Takes An Unprotected Swim With Great White Sharks

(CBS) CNN's Anderson Cooper joins "The Sharkman" on " 60 Minutes" for an unprotected swim with the ocean's most feared predator.

No one spent more time getting closer to great white sharks than Mike Rutzen. He has learned a great deal about the ocean's most feared predator by swimming just inches away from the toothy creatures, completely unprotected - no cage. That's just what Anderson Cooper will do on Sunday's "60 Minutes" when he reports on Rutzen - a man so convinced great whites are misunderstood that he risks his life over and over to prove it.

How do you swim with the star of "Jaws?" With a paramedic on board and an ambulance on the shore, as Cooper reports from under the waters off Cape Town, South Africa, as they visit with a 15-foot great white.
