Attacked by Reef Sharks in Bahamas
After spearing 4 large snapper and placing them in a catch bag we noticed we had followers. Once we realized they were getting more aggressive we started swimming towards shore. About halfway there we look back and see the two largest ones (appx 6 ft +) charging at me carrying the bag of fish. Needless to say I wasn't going to get between them and dinner. After letting go of the bag of fish the camera cut out I got attacked by the other shark. It went after my leg and i lifted it just in time to avoid it's mouth. Close call! Going to be a little smarter about how I carry fish from now on.

Zane Cosgrove you're dumb dude. He clearly knows that. You need to use your brain and fucking think. He's saying that all these dumbasses on their keyboards are naive and are acting all tough and nonchalant about if they were in that situation. Yet 99% of them have never even gone snorkeling, have no idea how they would react under pressure and they want to criticise a dudes actions in that situation. Those 99% of these people would be screaming and flailing if they were in that situation. Very few people can keep their calm when in imminent danger. Instincts take over. Logic goes out of the window. Grow some fucking self awareness and think.
You lived and learned but let me point out the obvious. We have an amazingly large shark population in The Bahamas. Spearing fish you're bound to attract them but to carry a catch bag is only ringing the dinner bell. Spear one, put it in the boat and if the water gets sharky move locations.

There comes a time when it's a good idea to just let the shark have the damn fish. If you get into an argument with a shark, and the two of you are in the water; the shark has more bargaining power than you do. Honestly, I am glad you came out of that okay.

Steve Owens different story when you are holding a bag full of bloody fish.
*How to play fishy , and gather the interest of nearby sharks* Is what the title should have been!
wow nice experience :D Everybody are alright after that??
I carry my fish on my buoy and cover them with a large garbage bag and elastic. I stopped loosing fish to sharks when I started doing that. You should try it.
Problem one. Don't run and kick wildly. It makes you look like prey. Problem two. Hold your ground if you're going to try to keep your catch. Problem three. Don't take your eyes off him. Sharks are opertunist. They are waiting for an opportunity to attack. Don't make it easy. Problem four, and this should be #one. Don't load up a bag of dead fish and keep it with you while you keep fishing. You'll attract sharks.
Whenever I go in the water I always periodically scan the area and stay close to the boat.

Yeah, it’s a tough choice about the fish; balancing the ease of carrying them with clever nip avoidance when the shark gets your bag. I finally settled on towing a small Ocean Kayak to toss fish and lobsters into when I catch them. It’s also because, as I get older, I’m sometimes overcome by the need to take an emergency nap while younger divers stay at it.
Was it a blacktop shark ?
someone got the m60 loaded at the end
Tell me how desiigner gotta feature at the end😂😂
Shark gets extremely close Dude recording: "lets come back up to the surface and end any chance i have of survival"
im sorry I dont know if im wrong so correct me please if I am but wouldnt it be foolish to race towards the water surface instead of facing the shark until it passed you to come back around then go for air and come back down and observe/ keep distance
Who pulled the machine gun at the end of the video?
attacked? more like robbed xD
Saw a black tip while on a snorkling tour with a bunch of others in key west. It never came over to bother us but it did seem curious. That's the second time I ended up swimming with a shark and I felt no fear opposed to another beach that I accidently touched this lemon in murky water. Shit gave me a heart attack
those bright yellow tip flippers thrashing around obviously looks like a fish...
Shark: it's not like I want to eat you baka
It´s ok to know where they they are while you go away from them while you don´t move fast, I know is really scary but if you get away from them really fast they are going to relate the waves you make with their preys so they are going to attack you
Good job to the guy who pulled out the machine gun at the end
Did he steal the entire bag of fish?

I always advise to take a knife as equipment, in 99% of your dives you might not need to use it, but if you eventually need, it will be there ready for use. Specially if there are bull sharks and oceanic white tips in the area

Never swim away from a shark, it is faster. In case of an agressive shark you must attack him with the spear and keep swiming slow to the shore without screaming. The fish must be carried in a net or rope tied to a free diving buoy

when you’re confronted by sharks in the wild swim directly toward them. it shows that you’re strong and too much of a hassle to fight. sharks go after weak or sick individuals. swimming AWAY from them is a BAD IDEA. Read their body language and stand your ground. if the shark continues to come to you hit them in the nose or eyes, they’ll see that you’re putting up resistance and will leave.
