Well I personally don't think any of them will bite you unless you had some kind of bait in your hand, even then I don't think they would on purpose, but the Lemons come off as kind of skittish. So I could see them getting bumped or kicked and giving you a reactionary nip. Plus I noticed Josh had a scar and I asked what that was from and he grumbled "gerd darn Lemons".
I honestly didn't get that from the Tiger. He had the most personality no doubt, and just like a dog you could see him ask to bet petted. He would swim at you and roll his eyes back and thats what he wanted, to be rubbed on his head. He was extremely nervous when he first came around and if you didn't give him space I am not sure he would have ever even came over to Josh.
He didn't just come over either, it took us a while to get him comfortable. The end of the second dive and mainly on the 3rd dive is when he would come much closer. Even then you kind of had to provoke him to get him to swim at you, I think describing Tigers as curious is the most accurate. Thats the feeling I got, that he was much more curious than the other sharks. The Bull sharks were the ones that wouldn't come close to us, but they are mating right now one of the females had a big flesh wound on her.
I do agree though that if you didn't pay attention to Patrick he would come closer and closer until you did, but once you acknowledged him he would swim off. Also it really depends on what position you were in that determined if he would even come over to you. Towards the back and middle and he wouldn't, you had to be in line with the bait box on the outside.
I really do believe nearly all shark bites are provoked, or caused due to confusion on the sharks part. Thats one of the reasons I liked this dive so much, it makes me feel a lot more comfortable just being in the water with so many of them and realizing a lot of it is how you present yourself to them. As mentioned just looking them in the eyes makes a big difference. I knew this already from spearing but this really reaffirmed what I thought and had been told. Cause although I had seen a lot of sharks before, the amount of time spent around them pales in comparison to this.
I think sharks have a very bad reputation and they don't nearly live up to it.
