Punters and OWT!

Tricky - open-water diving with OWTs. Click for detail

Yes those Sharks are dangerous!

Swimming away whilst splashing at the surface?
Not a good idea, you got to confront them!

Anyway - see for yourselves.

Horizon Charters Guadalupe Cage Diving said...: confront them? with what? fins?

the only guy with a camera in that mix who could have helped was far too busy mentally masturbating up the $$$ he was going to make with a proper shark/human hand removal video...; 4:14 am

Anonymous said...: can't blame the shark for turning up. can't really blame the divers either if these were just holiday divers in a random interaction. if they were LOOKING to dive with oceanics, well, obviously they were going about it all wrong.; 12:04 pm
DaShark said...: Excellent point.
Dunno the circumstances but it "smells" like the end of a normal dive where the Shark turned up and started investigating and getting progressively more assertive.

The guys should have grouped & exited immediately (the zodiacs are right there) but they did obviously linger & nobody took control etc.

Not blaming anybody really, just reminding everybody that those Sharks are dangerous.

And yes if it was a dedicated Shark dive - WTF?; 1:14 pm
the One called "Bitey"... said...: That was retarded. Why the hell would anyone be proud of a video like that?.... oh, right, people... people are stupid. I sincerely hope and pray that I NEVER dive with people who act like that (the divers OR the shooter!).
The ocean isn't a playtime sandbox - no matter how much you advertise your resort, or dumb-down dive training....; 5:51 pm
DaShark said...: Terry!

Welcome back - where have you been hiding all this time!

I give the folks the benefit of the doubt.
Shark diving is not SCUBA diving & no amount of dive training really prepares you for being inspected by a nosy Shark. They may have simply been a bunch of unprepared reef divers that got caught out.

But if not... :); 8:02 pm
