from 15.34 you can see the GWhite going hard for the float I watched the video 3 times and only saw today that before you unclipped the float it's still there probably around 25 meters behind you you can clearly see the black finsgoing hard for the fish... stats say that younger Gwhites or juvenile that is your 2.5 to 3.5 meter ones that are proud to attack more as they are still exploring pity you didn't have that gopro beneath survice all the time but hey you did an amazing job! You must edit and upload this video with a separate title on you tube and a indicator round circle at 15.34 onwards there is not many spearfishing videos with GW encounter this long.. I saw the one of the guy in Arneston Cape as well few years ago like in your pic ... he was lucy and so were you I sometimes still cant bealieve how close they come to the shore I always thought they like deeper waters but they probably search every were ,there is a good chance it was aware of you both not to long after you entered that spot .........

Holy GEEZUS...I don't see how you guys spear fish in waters with those fellas :). Let me ask you a question if you have time to answer: What do you think would happen if you never saw it? From the little I know, they seem more prone to attack or bite if they aren't spotted, but I am just going by all of the awesome videos you spear fisherman and other folks put out there. Also, how often do you see a white while spear fishing? Like say out of 10 trips? Thanks for the awesome video...I loved it. Stay safe!

Hi Josh. Thx for the comment and questions. This was my second encounter but i would say we see them about 1 in 20 dives. Something we have to deal with if we want to dive our waters. I have no idea about the attack or not attack when you see them. Some of the guys that live to tell the tails said they never saw them coming and others that was attacked stuck a speargun in their mouth. So i really cant say.

No laughs at this mating shout, definately a different tone! Lucky you had a decoy for him... And clad you both ok, the boui and fish 🐟 can be replaced.

You guys have amazing water there. My cousin was stuck there for 4 months during lockdown and he kept on sending me picks of the water and waves.

I have met a handful of South African spearos and you guys are all calm and brave. I would be correct to say you have seen a white before. A little float to place the fish in out of the water is a great idea, especially in dirty water. I have seen them used in New Zealand or you could tow a small kayak. I enjoyed the video.

Hi there. The camera is on my head so my eyes was under the water on the shark all the time. It might seem that I was in and out of the water but that is only the camera. My mask was in the water. There are cliffs and the only exit point was the one that I swam to. Hope that explains it

Ek weet nou nog nie wat die regte besluit was nie maar ek is nog in een stuk so die rustig swem het seker gewerk. Ek dink nie die white was daar vir my nie. Hy wou my vis eet.
