Great White Shark Warns Irresponsible Scuba Diver

This footage was taken in August 2015 at Humpback Whale Carcass (See video here: • Humpback Whale Carcass... ) in Aliwal Shoal MPA. Last year we anchored a humpback carcass near the reef and, naturally, a number of predators came to feed, including a few great whites. It is quite rare for great whites to visit Aliwal Shoal so a few divers had the privilege of diving with these amazing predators. BUT one of the divers got too close to one of the great whites and tried to grab a hold of the large male's dorsal fin in a stupid attempted to ride the shark. The shark reacts by approaching the diver and letting him know that this is "his house".
Please also note the divers position in the water, first at approximatley 13m then all the way at the surface in less than a minute! The second thing you need to note is the exhalations and lack of inhalations, is the diver hyperventilating? In my opinion, this diver was not experienced enough to be diving with these animals. It was irresponsible of both himself and the charter that took him out.
Diving with a shark is a massive privilege, especially with a great white shark. This kind of diving should not be allowed. It is clear that it changed the shark's behaviour. No one would go and pull the whiskers of a lion - this is the exact same principle.The media loves to put the blame on the great whites but it seems the shark was more than generous with his approach to the diver.
Needless to say, the diver spent the rest of the dive on the boat... and probably had to clean out his wetsuit.

    The moment that diver touched that shark, the fins went down and the back went up. That diver could have been bitten in half but instead, he got a warning. People amaze me sometimes. Just because you see someone who is brave enough to get into the water with these animals and do stunts with them does not give you permission to do the same thing.

    Yeah, anyone who does this is NOT helping sharks. Ocean Ramsey is a big one that people love, but she's actually breaking multiple conservation laws when she's touching great Whites. And by thinking she has some "special connection" with sharks, she is delusional. She has people hand feeding Tiger sharks around her so she can show what "best friends" they are, but really, she is just causing sharks to associate people with food.

    Yeh, great whites seem to flit between curious and aggressive. Maybe they only become cranky when they haven't caught a seal for a while, so might attack a human then. But it seems that a fed great white is a happy great white, and will even let you take a ride on his dorsal fin.

He held on to her and she swam off about 100yds turned around and swam back to where she found him, just outside the cage. She never once made a move at him. I was shocked at how gentle she was and she was HUGE!!

    @Toxicyz I sense your vast repertoire of knowledge is primarily from movies... I never said sharks like the taste of human flesh. I know that Hollywood has "endowed" sharks with a "roar" and whether or not sharks detest showing their fin on the surface is academic. My comment was made as a tolerance level that this shark showed toward the humans in its home. As whether or not sharks "hate" human flesh was severely tested when the U.S.S. Indianapolis was torpedoed in the Pacific during World War II. 1100 men were on board. From best estimates by the Navy, approximately 150 to 450 men were killed and consumed by sharks. 150 were verified, the balance were "perhaps" devoured after they had died from the ships damage. This was the ship that delivered the Atomic bomb to Tinian Island, where it was a short time later dropped on Japan. I know their skin is like sandpaper....its skin is made up from bony cartilage material. My knowledge of sharks is much greater than you have assumed. In order to avoid showing your contempt and being rebuked further, I suggest you avoid your impetuous behavior...

    Its basically the same as a dog warning you not to fuck around with its tail. The Shark clearly didn't like being touched and its body behavior after clearly indicated it wasn't happy. However what it did wasn't a attack. It was more of a dude how would you like it if I did that to you, but didn't really attempt anything other than to intimidate the diver. It clearly had no intention of attacking him really physically. Also the Diver is fairly close to the size of that white. White Sharks like most predators don't normally attack prey items or creatures near there size. The potential for harm is very great. So no it was just intimidating the diver for yanking its fin. That's alot of restraint for a animal.

    Where is an Orca Whale when ya needs one 😂 Sharks will forever be the scariest of them all because of the movies called "JAWS" but the Orca Whale tops them all with its high intelligence. The funny and crazy thing is, in the movie JAWS, an Orca Whale had a big bite taken off of it by the great white shark JAWS and the name of the fishing boat that helped destroy JAWS was called "ORCA" 🤔

    First thing anybody who's qualified to interact with Great Whites will tell you is that every shark is different and has their own personality and boundaries. Some sharks are "playful" and some mean business. Being in close proximity to a food source, then swimming toward the animal would almost certainly be interpreted by the shark as competition for the food source. This guy almost won a Darwin Award.

    I think the problem was that the diver's hand grasped onto the shark's dorsal fin for just an instant. I dont think the shark is averse to all contact - but more specifically that one of its fins got grabbed. Do not grab onto a shark's fin if it is swimming by.

    I am a shark researcher with over 5,000 hours experience working with them in their natural habitat. Tigers, Galapagos, sandbar, hammerhead and whale sharks in Hawai'i and great whites of Isla Guadalupe. I am unsure of what you are questioning. If you were Diving on a whale carcass then the likelihood of sharks showing aggression towards anything, even other sharks, is extremely rare if it exists at all. I have been around several dead whale carcasses in Hawaiian waters and have friends and colleagues with much more experience than myself in this matter. A carcass would be a large food source which allows for "enough for everyone" mentality. Whereas, when there is very little food available like there is on shark tours, the sharks become more aggressive roughly proportional to the number of sharks present along with water conditions. Rougher water where white caps are present will oxygenate the water and cause faster and more erratic movement of the animals. Calm water and an abundant food source "usually" make for calmer sharks but never a guarantee of that type of behavior. Sharks, like people, are very curious. The video seems to be unclear on the actions of both the diver and shark but it looks as if the diver tried to touch the shark. Then the shark approaches a diver at the surface. If that is the same diver then it is (should be) a minimum of 3 minutes difference in time due to ascension of the dive including a safety stop. That would make for quite a delayed reaction and absolutely like no other attack that I have witnessed. If the touch at depth did aggravate the shark he would have immediately turned and done something about it. Sharks have no bones in their bodies and can easily touch their snout to their tail. Sharks "skeleton" is completely cartilage and they have even been able to fit between the bars of the cages and enter the cage. That is why the bars on the bottom are spaced further apart than the bars on the sides of the cage. If a shark needs to escape a situation they swim straight down.

    Well to be fair, there are lots of other shark species that are fine with it(assuming you know what you're doing of course), so the diver could've reasonably thought this great white would've been cool, though of course it's kind of stupid to surprise a shark like that, especially one that's more in the middle of the aggression scale. At least he didn't do it to a really aggressive species

    I could be way off. It almost looked like a sign of affection. Everybody automatically reads the title and changes their attitudes. Hear me out. They don't have facial expressions, if the shark felt threatened it would take off or you would be missing a limb. The diver probably knocked off some parasites or old crud. Although I can't suggest trying it at home, I think it was the best way this shark knew how to say, "thank you!, thanks for not having the fear."
