The Royal Australian Navy using the Shark Marine NAVIGATOR underwater sonar and navigation systems - encounter with a shark.
I downloaded this video from the Australian News site several years ago as it showed our diver-held sonar and navigation system in operation. Recently I received an email request from a Grade 6 student for information on sharks. I explained to her that we didn't really deal with sharks but sometimes our equipment does. I then posted this video to my personal KZread site and sent her a link - not quite sure how all the rest of you found it..... Not my video but thanks for the likes!!

These divers are still in training, thats the only reason why they could be interviewed. The fully trained ones could not be gotten ahold of, as they mastered the art of invisibility.

Thank you all for your service and courage. The most inspiring part of that (in my opinion), was the fact that we saw an injured/disabled veteran continuing to serve. Awesome and inspiring to see that his skills and experience are continuing to be recognized and appreciated, not even to mention his own personal courage to continue. God bless all those that serve.

Apparently my great grandfather did "this kind of work", I phrase it that way because whilst there was undoubtedly similarities it was probably also quite different back then. Was always told he was too young during WW1 and too old for WW2. He did have a metric fuck ton of medals though that he never spoke about so was obviously doing something somewhere. All a bit mysterious really, I suspect it was WW2 as I'm pretty sure he would have been 38 at the start which isn't exactly way out there old. Heard something about limpet mines once, guess as they're pretty small he was more likely planting them than looking for them. But who knows.
There’s a funny story from a SAS vet who went on dive with some sasr lads.... in England... 0 visibility underwater.... nothing like crystal clear waters in Oz and so most of them succumb to claustrophobia and couldn’t complete training. 🤣

How is this man
Always wondered what these types of divers do about the carnivorous nasties that inhabit the depths, aside from simply trying to evade them of course. A fuck off big blade is something but would imagine is less than ideal against a gigantic shark or crocodile. Then you have some countries that have special underwater firearms but they're more geared towards human targets and may not make much difference against a huge shark. I've pondered from time to time whether any military has ever looked into some kind of incapacitant spray that could work underwater. Some kind of chemical, solid or gas that would work underwater and when discharged near a fuck off massive shark would make it swim away in repulsion, ideally without the same stuff taking out the frogman lol.
@geraldlobster7695
3 жыл бұрын
Im sure there are certain chemicals that sharks don’t like just as moths hate moth balls, but dumping chemicals in the water that the aquatic life don’t like won’t be ideal for them and in a worse case scenario might cause them to migrate elsewhere, a spray would be difficult to work because while it is pushed out by a gas it still has liquid in it so depending on how light or heavy the liquid is compared to water will determine it’s effectiveness, honestly worse case scenario if you see a shark, just swim away and hope it hasn’t spotted you, if it has well it might be too late, but you could use your knife, underwater firearm, fist (if that would even work) or anything else at your disposal.
