@@BlueWorldTV I had to google it can this really be true? "In some cases though, tonic immobility may prove a real danger for sharks. In the first recorded eye witness case of predation on a great white shark in the wild by a species (other than humans) a female orca (also known as the killer whale) was seen purposely inducing tonic immobility in a great white shark by tipping the shark upside down; this kept the shark still for fifteen minutes, causing it to suffocate and die."

I'm convinced that if humans ended up a water-borne species sharks would've been our sea doggos, they look so happy :) Not to mention how patient and polite they are with each other and the divers, taking turns getting snacks and not going into a feeding frenzy like some might expect with how misunderstood they are. Such and amazing video, this made my day!

Um, sometimes sharks do eat people on sight. They're predators, and each one is an individual. These sharks are used to divers petting them, so they usually don't think "hmm, maybe could be food?" But other sharks do.

I have watched so many shark shows, attacks etc and I have come to the conclusion that they don’t want to eat us. We are in their territory and we look like their food. It’s a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It’s their hunting instinct that’s all. If they wanted to devour us they would. Every time. Thank you for showing us this.

Chainmail still in use :) Most used armor in history.
It’s like they’re hypnotized. It’s called tonic immobility and can last up to 15 minutes when a shark is flipped upside down in a relaxed state. It sometimes happens for no reason at all within one minute. Nature is wild!
Sharks are so cute . Awesome man 😍😍
I feel relaxed like a shark...thankz man. Hats off to u all! 2019 will be my blue water dive with a master diver. Instead of sitting on my couch watching u tube i have to start diving. Love it! 😇

Man u are so humble!!! I love how u aren't egotistical over how amazing u are! Pure inspiration I love marine life and I've always wanted to learn more and I'm here from dive talk so big shout out to the gus and woody for showing us who u are!
