Unbelievable man. I can&#8217;t believe I did that,&#8221; Burleson said moments after emerging from the water. &#8220;I don&#8217;t even know what I was expecting, but I wasn&#8217;t expecting that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The expedition, which followed Burleson&#8217;s previous fear-conquering skydive with the U.S. Army, brought him face-to-face with nine Galapagos sharks \u2014 creatures that can grow to more than 10 feet long with 14 rows of serrated teeth.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Andrew Rossiter, director of the Waikiki Aquarium in Honolulu, said that while sharks are indeed predators, humans are not their natural prey.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve literally seen hundreds and hundreds of sharks while I&#8217;ve been diving,&#8221; Rossiter said. &#8220;Not so much scared, but I&#8217;ve always been in awe of them, because I know what they could do, potentially.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Burleson&#8217;s mother was less enthusiastic about her son&#8217;s adventure when he called to inform her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh I don&#8217;t feel good about that at all,&#8221; she told him. &#8220;You&#8217;re serious, Nathaniel? I don&#8217;t trust you. I don&#8217;t trust the sharks and I don&#8217;t trust the water! Period!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite his mother&#8217;s concerns, Burleson found unexpected peace once in the water.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I felt comfortable around them,&#8221; he reflected. &#8220;The way they circle around, and like peep you out&#8230; and if you look at them and you&#8217;re like &#8216;what&#8217;s up fam?&#8217; They will just cruise on by. It&#8217;s amazing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The experience changed his perspective, fostered in part by 1975&#8217;s blockbuster &#8220;Jaws,&#8221; which altered how generations view ocean predators.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There was a mutual respect,&#8221; Burleson said.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em>Our &#8220;CBS Mornings&#8221; series Never Too Late highlights stories of people conquering new challenges or embracing a second chapter at any age in life.
