    Quite a good and injury free method, fresh water is toxic to salt water animals and they will become delirous or unconscious before dying. That may loosen their grip. I believe they hosed the sharks gills.

    It is not uncommon for nurse sharks (they do bite if you pester them) to do the same thing.

    If you do a search on Google news for shark attack divers there will be a few articles show up - mostly in Australlia. There have been sightings of great whites around FL of late, one stathed off attack from a juvinile as the divers were hanging in their safety stop (one diver had speared a grouper).

    For the most part though divers are big noisy things that provide curiosity to an animal that is used to being at the apex of the food chain.
    see you in the funny papers..

    Too bad they didn't have an action photo to go with that story.
