TIGER SHARK BITING DIVERS ON SCUBA DIVE 

Shark diving tip #1: don’t carry a marlin head around with you ✅

This person who organized this dive should be prohibited from continuing his work and be sued for negligence of responsibility towards people and sharks.

Shark Diving Tip Number 1: Don’t Shark Dive

Awful… he’s probably a brand new guide who was poorly trained and not at all prepared but pushed forward anyway. What a horrible shark diving company-profits over people’s safety. I hope that lady is okay. 🙏🏻

I don’t think people will blame the shark if they watch your video. You did a great job explaining why this was wrong. Thank you so much!

Maybe just leave these majestic creatures alone in the first place

You are absolutely correct with everything you said Andriana. Well said.

Thank you for trying to spread awareness that it’s not the sharks fault and pointing out that it was the peoples fault and explaining too

I’ll never understand shark diving. I’m not saying sharks are savage monsters, but they’re wild animals. Would you get out of the safari truck and go pet or feed a lion? It’s just asking for trouble, imo.

This guy needs to be fired!! The whole group was put in danger because of him! This poor woman... It's make me so mad. 😡

No not ok to feed sharks as the people they approach later may not be shark wranglers. It's a selfish practice.

A shy shark? No! It’s a tiger shark 😂

Chumming the water during a shark dive is insane to me and I have never been in the water with sharks

Are there any details? It would be helpful to know the dive site and the operator.

The way it was able to cruise up behind her and bite the tank is shocking. I’ve always heard that was Rule #1 with tigers is to never turn your back to the shark.

Thanks for a thoughtful discussion of this video. My family did the Fiji shark dive and it was basically a 1 to 1 ratio of diver to guide. Guides were equipped with long metal staffs to nudge the sharks away from the guests. The guides managed the guests as a tight group and used the ocean floor to eliminate 50% of any possibility of engagement. The more dives I’ve had with sharks, the less blind fear I have of them. I don’t love the commercialization of sharks, but when you balance that with increasing awareness and protecting them, there is something to be gained for the sharks.

why is every video now full of jump cuts

It’s why divers who offer these excursions, such as diving with sharks have you sign waiver saying they’re not responsible for you well being. Which is crazy.

Clearly, the "guide" was completely incompetent.

#1 , don't get in the water with a tiger shark

Thanx for bringing us such incredible content ❤

How hard do you redirect them? About the same steady force as pushing a beach ball underwater? Probably also depends on the size and speed of the shark...

Pro tip: swimming with predators is Always a bad idea.

The " guide ".........same old faces, over and over and over......

Sharks will kill you. I'm a retired, old school diver. This is madness.

This lady thinks she knows sharks. Well she reminds me of the grizzly man.

Someone who does understand what you should do with sharks. But i do not believe in shark dives/feeds as it conditions sharks to see human beings as potential providers of food. This in my opinion encourages shark attacks and dangerous situations.

Thanks for incredible footage and knowledge Andriana. We appreciate you! ❤️🦈

The first thing they did wrong: they went diving WITH SHARKS 🦈

Shark diving tip number 1 don't take people with you like you are going into a petting zoo doesn't matter how much experience you got, that's exactly how you scare people of them, you are never in control and cannot avoid those scenarios

Lack of responsibility

"People will say sharks are monsters, they just want to go up and eat everything". Don't sharks actually want to eat anything they can get away with eating though? Isn't that the case with all predators? When you don't know when your next meal is and if you don't eat you die and you aren't a pet that gets fed, that kind of changes the equation doesn't it. I mean, seriously people will twist and turn all ways to support whatever they believe in... If you love sharks like you do how can you be trusted to give an unbiased view, it's only logical that your view will be biased in favour of sharks no matter what. For sure these shark divers might be hopeless and maybe these sharks aren't the well fed docile ones you usually engage with either... I don't buy either story that sharks are mindless monsters attacking people all the time, nor do i buy your story that sharks are these gentle benevolent creatures who wouldn't hurt a fly... As usual the truth will be somewhere in the middle.. You do all your 'redirecting' in ideal conditions, most people who encounter sharks will not have these conditions. Also you seem to only redirect Tiger Sharks, can we have some videos of you redirecting Great Whites, Bull Sharks, and Oceanic White Tips etc etc please. Spread the love around to all shark species please. ❤

I've been diving and spearfishing my whole life, but I've had very few encounters with sharks, probably because I don't go shark diving, and I don't dive with a fish head. I'm really not interested in shark dives and they don't seem like very responsible behavior. The few times I've encountered sharks I give them their space and they give me my space and we get along just fine

Stupidity is far more dangerous than sharks will ever be.

I really appreciate this video. I’ve seen a bunch of shark “attack” videos that weren’t actually attacks. The shark was just being a shark and the divers were stressing them out.

its almost like someone has been swimming with these tiger sharks and teaching them that humans are not something to be afraid of and can be approached freely!

No one there is going to blame the shark, everyone dives with sharks knowing the risks.

Very informative video. Thank you.

Thanks Adriana for explaining the safety of people in the sea and the sharks behaviour, take care 🦋👼😇🙏🙏💫💫

Well balanced response. Thank you for you efforts to raise awareness. Where do you operate your shark dives?

considering the tiger shark as playful should be gross negligence

Thank you Adriana, and you're right people who don't understand sharks will point at this and blame the shark. And that just pisses me off so much. Because you know this video will go viral and misrepresent an animal that is already heavily misunderstood. Just so frustrating.

Thank you for the work, and education you do.

PEOPLE ARE FOOLS WHO THINK THEY CAN CONTROL THIS FUCKING SHARK!!! UNLESS YOU GOT A BOOMSTICK!

Exelente analisis....! Faltó analizar la peligrosa posición de nado arriba del tiburón. Una muy buena explicación sobre todo lo que NO hay que hacer. Gracias por tus comentarios...!😄

Anybody knows where this took place?

100% correct!!! Thank you for educating us

Nice informative video Andriana! Totally agree with you !

Andriana, great info! Thanks for sharing... 🦈👍🏼

Thank you, Andriana, for sharing these very wise comments. Sharks may appear frightening, but at the same time they may also be quite great partners to play with, as long as divers safety remains unquestionned. Regards from Camargue !

It's not a shark dive, it is shark feed

Getting bit by a Tiger that big is crazy. That must have been a ton of damage

incredible! that was reckless !!!!! 😮

Do you have any advice for swimmers on what to consider to be safe from sharks? We don't see them as easily as divers and as far as I've heard splashing attracts sharks so could the normal leg stroke already be dangerous?

Fantastic well educated review. Thankyou

Thanks for educating people on this! But this must also show that instructors like this should have better knowledge I guess.

shark: hmm😋good meal divers: no im not you're food

They could do everything right and still be bitten by shark because it doesn't care.

I have never scuba dived and been freediving for 60 years... tiger shark has been using to test you like a cat with a mouse before devouring the prey

I’m 100% with you. This guy clearly has no idea what he’s doing and the sense of fear amongst everyone there (spearheaded by the leader of course) is literally palpable. Meaning… it was very palpable to that shark who was there to experience it up close and in person. So yes, this situation could and should have been avoided. That being said, I couldn’t help myself but to point out that above that…. This situation DEFINITELY could have been avoided if these people had considered, “I’m following a ‘ shark expert’ I’ve never met into the deep blue to expose myself to arguably the most dangerous species of shark there is. Maybe I shouldn’t dive with sharks. There are a lot of better ways to spend a vacation…” 🤦🏼‍♂️… as much as I support shark diving / any other activity that brings joy / connection to other beings, I can’t really blame anyone beside EVERYONE here for deciding to get in the water - a habitat that they are ENTIRELY unfamiliar, clumsy and goofy in (particularly with inexperience) - with a large tiger shark - an apex predator in its prime habitat, where it can see, hear, sense and move better than any human possibly could. Not to mention, experience or not, when you’re a human and your face to face with a large tiger shark, and that shark decides to predate, you’re done. There will be no “re directing”. There will only be a sudden attack, dreadful screams, and the inevitable water filled with red. to… have fun? I mean, to each their own… for real! But I think in today’s world, it’s important that adults take responsibility for their own personal actions. Nobody forced anybody to do this (that I’m aware of). The guide was indeed misguided, but so were these people! If ya don’t want to get bit by a shark. Don’t get in the water with them. Simple as that 🤷🏼‍♂️

Great and informative video ✌🏾

You are totally right.Control and respect is imperative with these beautiful creatures. If you worry them, they are the boss.Always.

Love watching your videos Andriana. U do such an incredible job in what you do for those shark's out there. Keep reeling more of your videos in for us. Like what you said that was all wrong about this video. U go girl! Well said 👍✌️🙂

I've never gone on a guided shark dive. But I have freedived in waters with sharks. Other than a brief interaction with 2 nurse sharks (my fault), I have never experienced a close meeting. They almost always ignore me. I am just another creature in the water. And I don't look like their normal food source.

Tiger Sharks are so creepy to me. I see videos like this where they kind of slowly drift in to bite, like a zombie or something. Whereas a Great White Shark may charge in, and bite you in half, and before you know it, you're already dead. A Tiger Shark gives time for the panic to set in.

Where is this happening? Red Sea?

never turn your back on a predator, thats just plain stupidity

How is the diver after the bite?

As an islander,Imma tell you what they did wrong 🙄they went into the water 🥴😆

Hey. Is there a way to go for shark diving with you??

What they did wrong in the video? Scuba diving with very dangerous apex predators.

And do you know the company where this guide came from?

In your experience, what would be the max amount of divers suitable for a group dive with sharks if you were supervising? Keep up the amazing content, Andriana 😊

Great detailed breakdown of the video. Also isn't it better to have some types of poles to redirect sharks? Especially for people who aren't experienced with the concept.

Bruce: If you meet a human in the water he will give you a fish. If not...

Great thoughts! Your videos make interactions with tigers look easy! I have a feeling this could encourage people to go diving with them

Of course, you are not going to blame the shark because that's how you make your living. Tiger sharks should not be interacted with by divers. They are predators and need to be avoided and not connected with.

I’ve had a tiger follow me and I couldn’t help but swim away and I think that’s what drawn it too me.. I wasn’t intentionally looking for sharks I was just snorkelling. The one that was curious about me was half the size of those in this video it was perhaps 6ft but it was enough to get me out of the water as I was terrified.. my experience lasted all of a min but it felt to me the tiger was sneaky and pretend it had no interest, it appeared to swim past but then did a quick turn towards me… scary stuff!

Regardless of my personal opinion regarding shark feedings, and my mostly general disdain for much of social media lol, I'm stoked to see where so many knowledgeable people can now get ahead of a video like this and truly explain what the issue was. Years ago we wouldn't have been able to add context to this. The message would have automatically been sharks are evil monsters. Which is so far from the truth. What this video showed me more than anything is that the amount of patience (while being nervous no doubt) that this tiger showed was incredible. I glad to see you and others making this video and letting people know. This guide (and operator) really need to be looked at. This is unacceptable. I can't wait till I see a tiger shark this size in the wild! Or any shark really! Except a Mako. Lol. That's a personal issue but I'm working on it.

Would anyone go walking with wild lions? And on top of that bring a carcass with you. Not to mention the fact that on land we have more control than in water.

Name and shame. You are asking not to support these operators, which is perfectly reasonable given the circumstances but who are they? We need to know who they are in order to avoid them.

Shark diving 101 watch your back or don't dive with sharks period

Thank you for spreading truth & awareness, they’re NOT ‘mindless killing machines’.

A shark and a tiger in 1 animal ,no thanks

Shark Diving Tip Number 2: Don't Shark Dive

When i go shark diving i want you to be my guide you are awsome and i love your videos

That ‘guide’ should be sacked and the dive centre fined or closed down

I dive with Emerald Charters out of Jupiter, Fl.....they are a GREAT shark diving charter!!!!!

Have you ever seen a shark attack and what do you think of Porpoises in captiviy?

I have a question, it has to do with the story of the Red Sea attacks and this is how the story was told so please correct me if i have it wrong, its something that made me think shark diving could be dangerous, look at the oceanic white tip that was biting swimmers arms and mid section in the Red Sea off Egypt, the shark responsible had a nick in its fin and was recognised to be a regular at a shark feeding spot, the shark feeding was discontinued and this shark continued looking for its food source and was biting these people where it would usually receive a fish, now if this story is what really happened then that would suggest that shark diving is teaching sharks to associate people as a food source, wouldn't it ?

"yeah babe, lets dive with an 850 lbs apex predator in its own environment where we move like shit this weekend, its gonna be so much fun, what could possibly go wrong?"

All SCUBA training these days is abysmal and unsafe, BUMS ON SEATS IS THE GOAL

We even know with our pet cats you don’t jerk your hand around nervously like that. It makes ANY animal uncomfortable.

That's awesome but would you ever consider coming to California to do shark diving? I know it's a new interior territory lots to explore but I would love that.

One big issue is you is certain popular holiday locations with Tigers, like the Maldives, they sell a package of accommodations, food and dives. Most divers aren’t researching the dive operators, only the accommodations

Why are you criticizing what the people are doing? Rule #1 is don’t be stupid aka don’t get into the waters with sharks swimming.

This is the worst dive I’ve ever seen. Could have gone so wrong for everyone involved. You should publish the tour company details here so people know to avoid. Do your bit!

I’ve watched a lot of content like this because I’d like to dive with sharks. I know not to wear jewelry, bright colors, and to remain calm around the Sharks. What I’ve also learned is moving too quickly is only going to make the shark more curious, more eager to explore. I also have never seen a guide hold that marlin head like that… they normally have pieces of bait that’s given to the shark, not something they carry around the whole damn dive… I hope when I dive I NEVER have a guide like this because everything I’ve watched, I’m gonna know if the guide does us wrong.. thank you for this

It's like this......if you are in the water with any sea life......and something doesn't go your way...... IT'S..... YOUR..... FAULT.......

A shark is a wild animal nonetheless, you are in their space and a visitor. This is equivalent to being in grizzly bear’s presence and just poking it just to see what happens…that is their space and you have to be knowledgeable and respectful
