I witnessed a shark attack while diving 

should be the #1 voted comment

I don't get why they didn't buddy up man, it would be my first instinct to get close to the other divers than can fuck the shark up with a knife if needed.

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.

....And, if none oif that works; Starts PLAN B: "Holy Father...."

Always giving advice to divers when it's easier to see a shark coming..what about swimmers at the beach?

Hey, to some people, fun is the only important thing, it's all they care about.

yes, that is what another diver commented on another video of the same thing. Now I'm on a white tip rabbit hole. Turns out extremely dangerous. some say the most dangerous.

it's an aggressive species naturally

I noticed that too, Its the first thing I noticed. Before I saw the attack.

Or dingo bait.

You're absolutely right ✅️

same with crocodiles

Yeah with bare hands we are weak against wild animals but the reasons we humans are so "strong" are the technologies and our intelect. So everyone better be with a gun/harpoon when you enter their territory. But something like with USS Indianapolis happend is scary to imagine.

Why didn't the divers bunch up and form a group?

@@The_Greedy_Orphan bad instructor I huess

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.

@@dkjens0705 You’re so right. After I wrote this, I saw another video of the same with a different or wider angle and he had to’ve seen it. Makes his judgment even worse.

I swear it’s like some people have autism, but not for communicating with people, but the basic body language understood by animal kingdom, the amount of dumb girls trying to kiss their dog while it’s growling and snarling is amazing, one clip shows a diver in a shark dive, look behind him, sees a huge shark close slowly approach his head wit it’s mouth open…. He turns back around and looks away . His dive buddy saved him. Like bro if the goat or deer or bull is stomping it’s feet and lowering his head he’s thinking something

@@finnmarr-heenan2397 You reminded me of the saying: “Just because you won’t eat the lion, doesn’t mean the lion won’t eat you.”

@@gabe-po9yi diving with a sidemount diving suite in the ocean explains everything you have to know about this guy ... The guy probably never dived in the ocean before, only in fresh cold water, possibly caves ... where he did not have to observe his surrounding at all, which clearly was a big problem for him in this dive ...

Numbers were their friend, yet they absolutely gave that advantage up immediately.

The first guy should have stabbed it

What exactly was stupid? Most divers acted as you should. The second group was maybe not aware of the shark and also a shark is normally not a problem. Only the german guy should have been in a different position. From what I can see that was an unlucky accident

@@ths2479 basically everything was done wrong... No attention of the full group to the shark ... no gathering together by the diving instructor ... no signaling to the others ... not going up after the first - almost attack ... the guy that got finally bitten floating horizontal instead of vertically ... around 10 people where only 4 or 5 did actually follow the shark with their eyes ... there was done so many things wrong i cant even think of where to start actually ... Diving in water where the diving instructor HAS to know that sharks are in with a short suite ... diving with a sidemount suite in the ocean ... so what more do you want? So basically from your line you wrote ... DO NOT GO DIVE! ... at least not in water where sharks might appear ... you are definitely not ready, nor have any knowledge about how to behave ... and this is not "a simple shark" its a whitetip, which is extremely dangerous because of its behaviour to swim AT divers rather than swim away once they come too close. Whitetips are basically one of the most dangerous sharks you can actually be in contact with under water

@@danielminister8414 what a bull****. Afterwards you are always smarter. You sound like a guy who knows everything better and can predict every case. Nobody needs that

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!

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happyyyyyy

I agree to an extent, more of a usually dont attack unprovoked but at the end of the day they're wild animals and unpredictable

Know the signs ,they didnt react .WHEN THE FINS ARE DOWN be somewhere else.

like what happened last week in egypt, disgusting

Can you please stop ✋

@@carolinekori1891 what u telling him to stop for?

@@carolinekori1891 YOU STOP

It will one day

How you know that its back is arched? I dont get it.

Please do some research about how it can be told a shark is being aggressive and you will see.

yes a shark is similar to that of a cat when its its getting defensively angry, it arches its back as rightfully mentioned

which.. not witch

It's just a predator of the ocean like all predators . People just love humanizing them "bite first , ask questions later🙄- didnt hear it ask any questions

Scene - not seen. 🙂

There you go greta advice. Undertand no one has ever transcribed a sharks thought you may or may not appear to be fish they may just like smell or electrical impulse you are putting off. No one knows for sure.

The guy attacked had a full suit

The weird thing is I regularly see the 4-5 deaths number but we have about that in australia alone each year…

@@ironized I wouldn't worry about it, the same types of people claim that Florida has never had a Great White shark attack in it's waters, despite there being at least 3 such attacks in it's own files. 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. Here in the UK, you're more likely to be bitten by a "land-shark", or preserved shark jaw, than a real shark, but we do occasionally get them, mainly mako, blue, and porbeagle sharks here.

We kill 100 million sharks a year? Who we? I have never killed a single shark.

exactly.

If im being cautious to cross a street .... I am effectively scared some fckn idiot might run over me.

here come jabber jaws...

I always wanted to free dive but one reason why I never will Shark's!

I've been so disturbed by the death of the 23 yo Russian in Egypt that I'm actually nervous about simply entering the beach 😢

More a "f*** off!" This species has no predatory sense for humans, because they are about 4-5ft long 😂. But their relatives, high sea White tips can get aggreasive and yes, they are reported as one of the species that really are feasting on humans by mariners. But well, the reports are vague there. The "bite to the bone" was most likely healed in a week and, if at all, needed less than 5 stitches

I'm leaning towards a territorial attack . The divers triggered the sharks reaction by remaining in its feeding zone i.e. the area around the deep drop off , despite the warning signs of the lowered pectoral fins and the bullying . The bite was longer than usual for a territorial attack but I suspect the shark was angry - if sharks have that emotion .

@@gosforthlad It is possible the shark was deliberately removing meat, to replensih it's energy from the earlier failed attacks. Oceanic White Tips are nasty, mean mofos'.

I am not sure about the place but it looks similar to Elphistone reef in Red Sea. I have been there and diving operators had many conditions what you have to fulfill. Have advanced diving course, at least 50 logged dives before, dive with them before at least one day. Guide provided us with instructions how to behave in shark area, what to do and what not. This guy had a bad day but he could prevent the attack with some basis rules.

the one that got bitten def was an experienced diver as he had good trim and was diving side mount. Just didn't seem to know how to act with oceanic white tips. I was expecting the one moving around hecticly the whole time to get bitten.

Based on the fact that he was doing a deep course, had sidemounts on, doesnt say "inexperienced" to me.

😎😏😄

I mean I also have never been attacked by a bear in the middle of the ocean 😂

@@onfootbassin Polar Bear?!

Also, the sharks in the red Sea have been noticed to be more malnourished than most, maybe because of overfishing from horn of Africa, I don't nnow

Oceanic White Tips don't have "territory", they are an open ocean shark, that wasn't a territorial attack, it wanted meat, and got some.

Well, it's illegal.

@@00coppelia00 Spear fishing is illegal?

@@CherylMotherofSeven yes, if you are wearing scuba gear.

@@00coppelia00 Well, better illegal than dead, use it only for self defence

@@CherylMotherofSeven sounds about as dumb as gun-free-zones. Spear free zone? Definitely should've brought something to defend against it besides his leg... a pole, dive knife, anything is better than nothing.

Yes, don't do it.

@@hesch-tag I'm still doing it. But I've researching on how to avoid an attack. The reefs I've been on in Australia seem to be pretty safe from the big munching ones. Still there is a risk.

@@jadethornton7975 There is always a risk indeed. So being well prepared is a good thing. Good luck, stay safe.

@@hesch-tag live a little lol

@@ggnore9524 Haha good advice.

Ikr -those legs hanging in the breeze unprotected - whats a shark to do but salivate -how about just the pointy end of a knife on his snout to let the bastard know you have a weapon -Im sure he would have decided it be a good idea to dine elsewhere

Yeah that isn't allowed in egypt, i usually dive with a dive knife (mostly to cut yourself loose in case u get caught on something) but you aren't allowed to use knives there (unless you are an instructor)

@@adrianbrady9457 why isn't it allowed? I'm nit a diver though I've dived once in Hawaii, but that rule sounds absurd to me, like making it illegal to walk into the African Serengeti with a gun...

Shark wasn’t huge at all.

A big puppy with the highest human kill rate? They are all beautiful, best seen from a cage or a big boat.

In the end, there would be probably much more deaths if oceanic white tips would go to beaches like great white sharks do, they are weaker and smaller but seem more aggressive and cocky @@y_ffordd

That's a fallacy about taste test, sharks know exactly what we taste like, they have been eating humans for thousands of years. Unless you think it's a coincidence that they keep biting the fleshy areas on us, the calf, thigh, buttock, upper arm, stomach.

Let's not do ANYTHING , EVER - and have a "safe" boring life devoid of adventure 😒

@@chateaupig826 There are plenty of things that you can do for adventure, admittedly you may not get the same rush as being attacked by a man-eating shark, but there is adventure out there. There are far safer places to dive than the Red Sea, that place is just loaded with hungry sharks, due to the overfishing by un-regulated trawlers.

@wolfen210959 yeah ? Like go on a cruise ship ? Keep saving for your retirement village

More like walking into a forest and encountering a lion by chance

@@cmrdecc6516 Except lions don't live in forests, they live in the savannah, and no one walks through the savannah without a loaded weapon with lots of ammo, and preferably with a large group, all armed. Diving in the ocean without a weapon is just asking for trouble, particularly when trouble shows up and no one deals with it.
