A nine foot shark chomps down on a professional divers head,
interview and underwater shots. Video shot with GoPro HD and
HD2 off Nassau in the Bahamas recently.

A video of Chang in action shot with four GoPro cameras during
an active shark feed in 2009 before the accident.
 
Yes, it is. The feeder wears a helmet, all be it a soft ABS shell that shark teeth might cut through like soft butter but today he also wears an expensive light weight chain mail suit/hood. Part of it slipped out of the way exposing Chang's face to some punctures but the rear mail portion may well have saved him from some nasty laceration perhaps even severe spinal injury. He has a real feeling for the work, it shows in the older underwater video. It is an intriguing dive, I am glad they don't use chum balls and work to keep the feeding behavior at a lower pitch to allow you to see the sharks up close while reducing the odds of getting sliced up in the experience. Here is another video shot over there a couple of weeks ago:

Chang put his own intriguing video up of numerous clips at Nassau, Bahamas dive spots and life, biting sharks (himself?!), tips including burning new mask lens and a good deal more at:
