That is what I thought, but according to shark expert Ralph Collier, not necessarily, she might be just storing fat (oil) in her liver.
You guys are the real deal!
Thank you for the great video.

Dangit, y'all are sort of making me miss California ... well, not so much. I'm still hoping to run into one of our traveling East Coast GWS specimens in warmer conditions and better viz. Awesome footage - really a very chill mama you had there.
Not sure if I would ascribe her curiosity to being fed at Guadalupe Island - I've heard a number of accounts of white sharks checking over divers without bait or speared fish being a factor. Could be she was just curious about the bubbly things. Would have been nice if she cooperated and let you get that rope out of her mouth or at least cut it short.
Overall I'll crib from one of the Emerald's trip reports and say this clip is rated FF - Freakin' Fun!
