White Tip Nips Diver

The little blighters are at it again.

FYI from todays news in Australia. Seems it was a situation of mistaken identity amongst some White Tips who got a bit excited from speared fish.

Mistaken identity is about as safe as friendly fire. Glad the guy survived.

I'm glad the Father Survived, However They were spear fishing so I think there might of been away of preventing this from happening. I've heard of shark repel (dunno if it exists) I have dove in Costa Rica and we were in an area of seven white tips shark and they didn't even notice us. However we did not have lunch attached to us at the time.

Sometimes a dog will bite and sometimes he won't. I't really isn't any more complicated than that.

There's a device that emits an electronic field that repels sharks, it's called the Shark Shield.
