What do you do?

I would stop and watch in awe as it swam by and be thankful I got to see something so magnificent.

I'm not trying to tick you off. I guess I'm just so talented I can accomplish it without trying.

One day I got tired of it and literally jumped on him, and bit his ear pretty hard. It confused and scared the bejesus out of him. He never messed with me again.

And in this corner, wearing the red and white swim trunks Raybo Tyson!

Still hard to imagine seeing anything 90 ft away, especially in kelp.

Just for the sake of argument, let's assume it's actually close enough to see and ID.

You should not make any sudden motions. You should stay with your buddy and swim slowly and confidently back to the exit point (boat or shore). Keep an eye on the shark. If he starts to follow, swim directly at him. These sharks are used to chasing prey. They do not understand anything coming directly at them and will retreat.

gosh Walter!!! Do you tell all your buddies that? That must give you a pretty good shot at putting some distance between them and you... heck, why don't you just stab them once for good measure

Draw your dive knife,Stick it into your buddies leg just below the knee,adopt the revese ready position and kick away.

I once inadvertently got got between a cow Moose & her calf while fishin. Honestly? That had me more worried than anything I can remember.

Had that happen when I was a kid... I happened to be in the doorway of the barn. Next thing I remember I was in bed with a fever and "hoof prints" on my head where she jumped over me and left scrapes on my head and arm.

That was an indelible lesson to me on the power of the maternal instinct!!

I Have a Marlin 1895G over my shoulder when Salmon fishing up here.. I bump int Lots of Cow Moose & Calf, Black Bear Sow & Cub, had 2 Griz Silver tips watch me last fall.....

If only they made my .45-70 waterproof

Beco makes a .50BMG power head..... Hmmm.....

(not advocating it, I love sharks, fav critters, but a spearfisherman, I like to increase my "options" )
