    When there's a shark that bullies you: 1. Take a vertical diving position, it allows for more flexibility 2. Always face the shark/keep your eyes on them and never turn your back on it, cause sharks like to attack from behind 3. Punch the shark's gills, if it does not stop bullying and comes too close to your body 4. Keep your legs and arms close to your body and avoid hectic movements 5. Buddy up (always a good diving-advice) 6. Take cover behind a reef, or slowly ascend

    My logic, take a dang spear with you and give yourself at least a deterrent that says if you try to attack it will not be easy and it will be painful. Note I never see divers with any type of long weapon in the water and always wondered why? I understand that if you do have to stab a shark it will bleed and cause other sharks to come but honestly for most of us if we need to stab a shark we will be getting out of the water anyway.

    The thing that really gets me about the water, besides the fact that the moment you hit the water you also basicslly let go of the food chain, is that the predators dont just have 1 "plane" to attack from. If I'm being tracked by wolves, or a bear, or a tiger, it's going to be on the same plane as I am, walking/crawling/running along the earth. I have 360° that death can be coming from, which is already terrifying. A shark? He's got unlimited directions to come from. We dont have animals in the sky or under the dirt that come after us (generally). A shark is all around you. Built to kill and mindless, plus the ability to come at you from any imaginable direction while you are literally at the most vulnerable condition a healthy adult human can put themselves in. We are so stupidly adapted for water, we actually resemble food to sharks. We're so soft and slow and defenseless in open water we might as well be a newborn baby left out for coyote bait.

    That guy intentionally swimming over to the shark, while everybody else was stationery in a vertical position - was showing out. He didn’t even make an evasive maneuver when the shark came at him, so confident he was that it was no threat. He hadn’t been there when the others saw the shark go from chill to aggravated, but he still should’ve taken a cue from them. He must’ve felt like he knew better and they were just overreacting. There’s no place for cockiness in the sea.

    Absolutely. Other versions of this video I suppose, show how within minutes of the attack, the shark was acting aggressive towards other divers, actions the victim diver must have seen. Despite this, the victim diver appears to more or less ignore the shark and continue on with what he was doing. Always have situational awareness and in this case don't try to be Mr. Cool.

Why are humans so egotistical? Can't people just say we know jack sh*t about the ocean? I believe that to be more accurate. So, treat the sharks as if we know jack sh*t about them and their behavior.

    Well you're right and you're wrong. Some people know a ton about diving with sharks but many recreational divers do not. For instance most people know that it's extremely rare to be bitten by a shark, even if they're in close proximity to you....BUT, most recreational divers probably don't know that this particular shark, (an Oceanic White Tip) is easily one of the most aggressive and unpredictable species of shark in the entire ocean! Thankfully they are almost always found in deep water but if you see one or more while diving then it might be a good idea to head to the boat and find another location to dive. Bull sharks are another species to stay clear of!

    This particular shark , oceanic white tip is a “pelagic” shark - which means ocean going or found in middle of the ocean . When a ship sinks in middle of ocean ( USS Indianapolis) people are usually attacked and killed by white tips . Highly aggressive shark and the one feared the most by Jacque Cousteau!

    I have seen this footage beofre, but good to hear the account. As a doctor, diver and shark lover, there are obvious mistakes here - with white tips in the area, do not dive with exposed white legs, they appear to be slow moving fish. As soon as a shark shows aggressive behaviour or discomfort take evasive action immediately. Change stance keep arms folded, or use fending stick, keep with group stop flapping around. Most shark incidents are not predatory but curiosity. A modeller once worked out that if sharks were in the business of eating people, there would be literally hundreds of thousands of attacks annually. There are around 50 with normally only about 4-5 deaths, often from blood loss or slow medical support. Be prepared - especially in areas where there is over fishing and species like the Longomanus! Every diver should take one of the excellent shark-awareness course found online eg Ocean Ramsey's - marine biologist who swims with big sharks in open water. Enjoy their beauty - and help save them, after all we take over 100,million sharks annually and their numbers are dropping.

Plus, did you realise that we look, smell, swim, sound and give off the same electrical field as a seal? Hal, from the Sharks Happen youtube site, estimates that there are 50 - 60 recorded shark attacks each year, with between 8 - 12 deaths, but those records only come from 6 or 7 of the 140 countries that have coastal regions, mainly the US, South Africa and Australia record such attacks consistently. The rest of the world don't have sharks, apparently.

    Possible predation attack as it lasted several long seconds....quite different than a defensive bite or territorial bite attack. The oceanic whitetip no doubt is underated relative to the "Big Three" ( Great White, Tiger, and Bull sharks ) . Ocean disasters during the course of history probably include a host of white tip predatory attacks not recorded. It is no doubt an aggressive shark at least up to the level of the bull shark. If I recall correctly Jacque Cousteau considered it to be the most dangerous shark.

    I did my Padi starter course in Skark Alley, Diani Beach, Kenya. Day 1 in a pool. Day 2 3 miles out following a rope down from an old Coca Cola bottle lol. I was fine whilst under the water looking at stuff but was shitting myself when we did a drift dive and were bobbing around half a mile from the boat waiting to be picked up. All the other divers and my instructors were cool and really experienced though. That video was terrifying though. Bit old for diving these days lol.

    Ive dived with many white tip reef sharks and knew i was safe from them because they were always fed and were used to being around us humans there for i wasnt worried, oceanic white tip shark is a apex predator which mostly dont get fed by us, i had to keep my eye out once while swimming with pilot whales and if i were to see 1 while diving i would know to be extremely cautious and get out of the water asap and try not swim underneath it thanks for the video.
