Diver killed by shark

Re: Diver killed by shark
My best dive ever was on a shark dive in the Bahamas with EVA, from GUDC.  We had I think 25 different sharks swimming right around us.  3 big Pregnant ones to boot.

Between the  video, pictures and recollection I've got you can see a shark going in for a chunk of "fish on a stick" with its eyes closing as its mouth is opening, another shark did the same thing, but its mouth went completely over the first sharks head, which  had a big chunk of fish in its mouth. 

IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME TO NOT ONLY HAVE A VIDEO OF THE DIVE, but ALSO PICTURES. 

The 2nd shark that bit the first shark, seemed to realize that it bit the other shark and slowly just opened its mouth a bit wider, and literally backed out if you will,  and the first shark just swam away with lunch. 

A minute or two later, the shark that had been bitten, with holes in its side of the head, swam right in front of us again, and I have a picture with the shark bite, and slight blood slit from the bite.  ALSO  AWESOME. 

Also,  in the same video, with Sharks all around and on video,  I did a full mask off, and clearing and regulator out of mouth exercise for the "training" and surprised all who saw the video back at the motel that night. 

DIVING WITH SHARKS IS NOT THAT DANGEROUS. Do the dive with one of the shops or dive operations. 

Try it..... when you see your first shark coming in from 100 feet away, and the animal is slowing going side to side, and coming right at you, you have a new appreciation for just how beautiful they are, especially when you figure out that they are more afraid of you then you are of them when they swim right by you. 

Its even cooler when you reach out to touch them and you discover that you are more of a threat to them then they are to you and they "swim for they're life to get away from you. 

BULL SHARKS... thats a different story..  CAGE FOR ME.

I agree with the other  EXPERIENCED SHARK DIVERs ABOVE. 

Maybe someday, up at CROSBY or Coffee Club,  I'll have to show that video and the pictures of the same dive.
