Because of their poor underwater vision, submerged gators are not so worrisome: "I assume that if I'm going to be attacked, the alligator will do it from the surface." Vliet has never been bitten, only "mouthed" once. Says he: "Gators get bad press. Tarzan movies did immeasurable harm to their image...
