EXCLUSIVE ONLINE REPORT The Dividing Line Gen Del Raye Just 27 miles out to sea from San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge lies an archipelago that local newspapers describe as “infested” with giant sharks. The Farallon Islands are a scattering of wind-swept, weathered rocks perched on the dividing line between the continental shelf and the 3-mile-deep waters of the open Pacific. In the fall months abalone divers who operate near these islands describe a feeling of being watched by eyes that lie just beyond their field of view, and some have spent harrowing moments hiding beneath boulders while great whites roamed nearby. Seasoned visitors to the Farallones are not surprised when they glance over the side of the boat and see a 5-meter great white glide past.
