Some exciting video footage of shark in Sth Africa

[JulieannevZ]

I just discovered this video of a diver being towed by a Great White around South African waters.

It's not something I've thought of doing. Has anyone else?


Watch the video carefully or you'll miss the diver.

I dove in a hammer head breading ground in putro rico and there were some locals diding some of the same things. I'm not sure I'd be swiiming with a 10ft great white but it would be a once in a life time thing...

Wow... Very brave move. It just goes to show Great Whites are not the senseless killers people assume they are.

Nope they use their senses to find us, before we get bitten in half :11:

The guy doing the "surfing" is Andre Hartman, someone who has many years of experience diving with White Sharks.

He is often out of the cage now, but only when conditions are good, quite a sight.

Kinda reminds me of "Timothy Treadwell." An individual who claimed to know how to handle himself around wild Grizzlies... right up to the point in which they ate him and his girl friend!

Or more likely, it's a well-fed shark... Even "senseless killers" aren't hungry all of the time....
