The medium sized quick/agile ones are scarier.


I'm fascinated by mako's. They're so fast and quick that I imagine they can get anything they want.

Although I'm sure that thing could scoot if it wanted.

I'll bet when she squirts out those babies she'll be just as fast and agile as necessary

White sharks are kinda pussies in the water. You can poke them with a stick and they get scared and swim off. They don't like to be hurt and are more scared than most sharks I've encountered. Being out of the cage, isn't as huge of a risk as most may think.

until they're in the mood for a quick snack? jk, not a big diver but I've always heard that them attacking humans was more of a recognition issue instead of us being on their menu?

From Jaws:

Hooper: "That's a 20 footer"
Quint: "25"

I thought the previous post was a setup for that.

Yep.

According to shark week at least. Almost every white shark attack is from misidentifying the human as prey. They make investigatory bites then swim off.

Problem is, those initial "feeler" bites can rip a homie's leg off

You can tell before they rage. They don't have fingers so they touch things with their mouths. They chew on the cage cause they sense your electromagnetic field. They get frustrated cause they can only feel/bite the cage, when in fact, they want to feel/bite you. At first you are scared out of your mind, but once you get to know them, its a controlled fear. Of course you always respect them and never take your eyes off of them.

Juveniles DGAF though. They'll tear you up just out of a territorial instinct.

Either way, me going on that dive is not gonna happen.

Its sad to say, but white sharks are pussies if you defend yourself.*

I've done some diving, a lot of snorkeling and salt water fishing and have respect for what's in those waters, a lot of people equate them to being just "fish," but they are wild animals and you are in their hood and they definitely have the upper fin
