Better a lert than a lunch.Good thing he was alert.
Maybe YOU can swim down and see who is the bad@ss of the sea, but not me.dumpsterDiver knows this cause we dive the same reefs.......That shark behavior is fairly normal for Jupiter & West Palm. The mistake that the freediver made is neither he nor his buddy(?) dove down below to "back the shark down". Staying still with an attacking shark just isn't going to work. You have to get aggressive and swim towards the shark to back them down. It's just one shark, wait till you have 4 on you and have to get in a boxing match. That diver waited way too long and he lost control of the situation.
