I would have shot the video. LolA friend of mine was on that boat - you can hear her saying "uh oh" when the shark gets into the cage. This is obviously second hand information, but she was there and this is what she posted on FB.
The shark entered through the side opening (the latch to the door was apparently broken by the shark), and the diver (an instructor), rolled out of the same opening while the shark was trapped in the cage. He then waited outside until the shark got out through the open top. So he must have waited outside, hanging onto the cage breathing from a hookah wearing 40 lbs of lead on a harness! Then once the shark was out he reentered the cage and exited through the top, as you can see. Very impressive performance under pressure by that diver, but apparently no video.
I would have shot the video. Lol
What is the name of the boat?
Please don't edit the sound either, that just makes the video better!!!I don't doubt that one bit! Priority number one? Get the shot! lol
But at least there not hunting them!There are many dives that I don't need to do. Cage diving is one of them.
If I am the shark, I am thinking "Stupid f'ing humans!" (Heck, I'm a human and I'm thinking that!)
I'm curious what the cage operator was thinking as he appeared he wanted to go in and help. Something like this...
"Ok, I'm going to go in and render assistance, but first let me take off my hat. I'm ready. Wait, no. I have to take off my sunglasses then I'll go in. But wait, boy, this is going to take a while, sorry guys, I still have to take off my buff, my shirt, my undershirt and my shoes... Deeper thought = Damn, I should have wore jeans and socks today."
