Breakdown: Great White Shark surprises scuba diver

A great white shark snuck up on an unsuspecting diver and the moment was captured on film.
The footage is thought to be from South Africa, but no one has come forward to claim the video or name the diver.
In the video we discuss whether we believe the diver was actually approached by a great white shark. There are a few reasons why we think the video is legit.
The diver is wearing a surface supplied air line that is common with abalone divers and others who will be working underwater for an extended time.
Based on the camera angle, it appears the diver has a floating rig attached to his umbilical cord. Thus the camera is floating when the white shark appears from the depths.
What are your thoughts?

Great NYT article with Ron Elliott. He’s been diving white sharks (without a cage) out at the Farrallons since the 1970s. He really doesn’t need a weight belt because he’s got balls of steel.

Short of actual attacks, this is by far the most terrifying shark video ever captured on film! One lucky son of a gun!

@cds3703 Год назад

Great whites are extremely curious about foreign objects/creatures. This wasn't an attack but merely an investigatory bump trying to see what the diver was and after realizing it wasn't food the shark left him alone

@cassiusdio6048 Год назад

@@cds3703 why do you think the shark thought he wasn’t food? Of course humans are food I think it just wasn’t in feeding mode, it’s as simple as that. Evolution is non stop and sharks are learning that we are food and we are easy targets, people give sharks way too much credit, they are just fish, and if they’re hungry they’ll eat you.

@thethumper088 Месяц назад

@@cassiusdio6048to great whites, humans are rarely food. If it was a tiger or a bull, guy is probably dead, because they view everything as food. This isn't Jaws. You don't live in a horror monster movie. In fact, you have a 90% chance of surviving a great white *attack*. Because like the video said, 99% of bites are exploratory or mistaken identity. Unfortunately, they are giant predators and even their curiousity can be devastating.

@scambaitspidey3470 2 года назад

Learn to dive with a shark. They will circle you like 5 times, bump their head into you, circle few more times, take a bite, spew you out and run. Sharks are clueless of what you are, a loud blob that blows bubbles sitting upright in their ocean. We are the weirdest thing they have ever seen so obviously some have a different reaction, but if you punch them in the nose when they are going to bump you then they will take the f off If the shark was going for a bite it would have bitten him.

@BloodWolf-XquicWolf 11 месяцев назад

Sharks dont usual eat people, so my guess is it took the small one to see if he was safe to eat. But another thing if you watch it slowly you see the sharks snout hit the head first that makes them naturally open there mouth to see what it was they bumped into

You might notice a small black object (thing) float away from diver (just off his left shoulder) as he watches the shark swim away. Imo, this could be a piece of the divers wetsuit headcover that the shark scratched off with teeth after the bump/taste/knock. Interesting indeed.

Well they’re predators…but do it differently than most. If that was a tiger they would just grab you and kill you. No exploratory bite…no bump…just dead. So they do fascinate me. Unless a land predator has different wiring than a ocean predator and they’re aware you don’t belong so they poke to not get injured. But I don’t believe they don’t want to eat you…plenty of deaths by consumption. And nothing left.
