WEST END, Grand Bahama — Shelby Tostevin is proud of his unblemished safely record over 18 years in business. The record is more remarkable con sidering the nature of the busi ness. Tostevin is a diving instructor at a resort hotel in the Bahamas. He daily takes tourists into clear Caribbean waters to mingle with sharks, barracuda and moray eels. 'That's the real story,'' Toste vin says. "All these years and we've never had an accident — touch wood. "There's been many, many difficult situations and a few frustrating ones, but never a se rious accident in 18 years. How many organizations can say that?" Tostevin pronounces the word "organ-EYE-zations," re vealing his British heritage. He and a companion, Nigel Froome, were running a dive shop in Guernsey in the late 1950s when they decided to fol low the Gulf Stream across the Atlantic to a warmer climate. They operated the diving con cession on the grounds of the Grand Bahama Hotel together until a few years ago, when Froome retired to Freeport. "After all those years of di ving, I think the tourists were getting to him," Tostevin, 42, says. "He still enjoys diving with experienced divers, or by himself, but not worrying about other people. It's quite a hard job physically and mentally at times." Tostevin seldom takes more than three or four divers at a time on his excursions to coral reefs and wrecks that dot the warm, aqua waters. Even that number is demanding when newcomers are aboard. "Most tourists that come, the first thing they ask about is the sharks and the barracuda, things like that," Tostevin says. "To me, the real danger of di ving is that you're more likely to drown than get bitten by a shark. "This sport hasn't any room for very weak divers. You can be a weak golfer or a weak tennis player and go out and have some laughs. But for diving, you should be a fairly good swimmer and take the sport quite se riously." Because the island is fre quented by foreign visitors, lan guage sometimes presents an additional problem, he says. "We've had more German guests than in other years," Tos tevin says. "The other day on a dive an American was saying 'Hi' to a German, and in German 'hai' means shark." But, he says: "We've never had a shark attack. We've had a shark come round when we've been spearfishing. They get ex cited by the struggling fish and the blood in the water. This sea son they say there's been more shark attacks than in other years, but it may be just due to there being more divers around." With a reptilian body and fanglike teeth, the moray eel is the most grotesque denizen of the reef. "I don't consider them dan gerous," Tostevin says. "You nave to be wary of sticking your hands in holes and things in the coral. But I have fed moray eels by hand as well." Tostevin also feels the barra cuda, which displays an im pressive set of teeth as its curios- gets 'A' ity brings it close to the invading divers, has an unjust reputation as a menace. "People often say that barra cuda go for shiny things, which is true," he says. "If you have a shiny thing out on a line by it self, a barracuda might go for it. But they are well aware of whether that shiny thing is attached to something bigger. When we go diving, we have all kinds of shiny things on us and we've never had any trouble with barracuda." Tostevin understands the fas cination of the ocean. Like a guide at Disneyland or a mother taking her child on a first trip to the zoo, he relishes the wide- eyed looks of his customers. Calmly, with a wry British wit, he takes novices through begin ning snorkeling courses in the hotel's pool or shallows near the beach, and advances them as their expertise allows into the depths surrounding the island. "I'll probably get ulcers," he says with a laugh. "I'm probably one of these guys who's shut ting it all in. Outwardly, I'm not screaming and shouting. If there's any tension, I try to keep it to myself." The rewards of the sport are plentiful. "The Queen Angelfish may be my favorite," he says. "It's one of the prettiest fish with bril liant blues and yellows and the little crown on front. "So often when we dive, peo ple keep looking in the distance for the big fish, where if you stop and look at a coral head there's so much to see. Little gorgonians, flowering corals, spiral worms — pretty things that are quite small. I like to move in close and study a very small area."
