- This is one of the worst shark diving videos I have ever seen. Everything this operator did was completely negligent and left their guests in incredibly unsafe conditions including someone actually getting bit by this shark. Please learn from this video and do not support operators like this when you book a shark diving trip!!

Shark diving tip #1: don’t carry a marlin head around with you ✅
It should seem pretty obvious lol🤦🏼♀️
Holy that's fuckn hilarious😂
@@clapdrix72 Shark diving is the marine equivalent of walking around lions with a zebra's head in your hand....Darwin awards all round.
@@CuchulainAD But it's not though cuz that would get your entire tour mauled every time, without fail. People dive safely with sharks every day. Think of one person who has interacted with a pride of wild lions and not gotten mauled, I'll even spot you the zebra head.
Now with that said, there's no way in hell I'm ever free diving with sharks. I take the 0% probability option when it comes to being eaten.
@@clapdrix72 Same level of stupidity my friend... Don't go around hand feeding predators ...I've seen enough vids of people being bitten to know this is not clever.
I don’t think people will blame the shark if they watch your video. You did a great job explaining why this was wrong. Thank you so much!
Unfortunately the vast majority of people who saw that viral video on tiktok and other platforms did not see this video and probably never will.
Meh, better for people to be scared of sharks and not go. Leave them alone. She seems part of the problem for me, trying to make this activity mainstream.
Actually I disagree because there's been instances where people have blamed the animals n even killed wild animals for this kind of stuff. It's sad. But if we leave wild animals be wild n do they're thing it protects them n us. We have no business disturbing their environment just for our entertainment. Most animals because extinct because of man kind tbh...
Maybe just leave these majestic creatures alone in the first place
They weren’t attacking the shark or anything, but I agree they seemed untrained to use bait.
So you should never hike through a forest where you may startle a squirrel? You should never go snorkeling on a coral reef in fear of upsetting an angelfish? Maybe you think we should sit in a sealed room away from nature, not even a houseplant. And just breathe, eat, shit and sleep until we die? Sharks are nature. So are humans. There are ways to do this responsibly so we can experience the majesty of our natural world. To shun nature is your loss. I have been humbled to have a 50 foot humpback whale bring her calf over to me and direct it toward me. Trust. I have had a full grown bull sperm whale echolocate me and turn away because it did NOT want to interact. Tiger shark, bull sharks, great white sharks. Neither they nor I were harmed and I will go to my grave knowing I lived life and you didn't. This dive operation was third rate carrying bait around while tigers were milling around.
@@drk321 These people specifically wanted to swim with the sharks. That is indeed stupid. It's like purposely hanging out with grizzly bears. There's a difference between diving and happening upon a potentially dangerous shark vs. seeking them out willingly. Use a shark cage at least. You can still enjoy life to its fullest while managing risk. Nothing is worth the potential of being eaten alive, even if the chances are incredibly low. Yes, sharks do occasionally eat people. Please do not compare this to something like dying in a car accident. It's not just about dying. It's about the trauma of the event itself.
@@philj9594 Not sure if I have mentioned this but it goes along with statistics and reality: I have dove with all the top most "dangerous" shark species. Because I have studied them for over 30 years I feel qualified to decide whether I want to be in the water with them.
Great whites, I have dove with them out of the cage at Isla Guadalupe Mexico. 8 great whites swimming around us. They were UNINTERESTED in us even though we were dressed up like seals. 200lb men and women in black wetsuits. They had NO interest in us. Out. Of. The. Cage.
Tiger sharks Oahu, out of the cage with 7 tigers ranging from 14ft to 8ft. Two dives, somehow I have all my arms and legs (apply your lack of knowledge about sharks to explain this anomaly).
Fiji, they don't use cages there and they open up huge trash cans of fish guts and parts. We had 15 bull sharks all around us plus lemon sharks, silvertips, nurse sharks, grey reef, blacktip, all going nuts. Still got my fingers ad toes. And these bulls were not the sissy 6-7ft bulls they get in Florida. Crook is measured at 10ft long! Grandma measured at 12 ft long!
Oceanic whitetips Big Island of Hawaii, #4 on the maneating list. One of my favorite sharks. Been in with them dozens of times. Gotta keep an eye on them but have had the most amazing encounters with this majestic animal. All my fingers and toes!
You live your life petting your gerbil. We will live our life ACTUALLY LIVING LIFE WITHOUT PANIC AND FEAR!
reminds me of a certain Jessie Ventura quote from the helicopter ride in Predator
I’ll never understand shark diving. I’m not saying sharks are savage monsters, but they’re wild animals. Would you get out of the safari truck and go pet or feed a lion? It’s just asking for trouble, imo.
there are no wild animals. there are animals. souls in different bodies. If you know how to interact with them properly (and this is also made out of experience) it's absolutely doable.
It's probably one of the next steps of human evolution
Like everthing, you can't run to it. it's like running for a yoga or meditation lesson. There is no point. You go to yoga or meditation lessons to learn how to be meditative in every moment of life. If you run to a meditation class, you failed the exam :D
like everything, noone is forcig you to do it.
My feeling watching this video and comparing it other experience shark divers on youtube, there is a slight difference. The feeling here, is that the guide tried to copy what other shark divers do, but he's missing some important part. As Andriana said, he's the first one to be scared by the interaction and the situation.
Can happen, but this must make him/her aware of not being ready to guide people in shark diving, at least for the moment. Maybe in the future he will get to it.
@@TheWolfalpino Firstly, you don't get to make up your own definition of wild animal and then correct everyone else, that's just nuts. Second we've already evolved over hundreds of thousands of years to recognize dangerous predators and avoid if possible.
There's such thing as a safe shark dive??
Someone's been smokin' the wacky tobacky.
There is no safe shark dive. There are shark dives that are safer than others but none are safe.
You are probably right ... but here you see that the responsible person screws up.
i know dogs ... and a dog would have been perfectly confused and would have looked for the blood !!
i see that sharks react the same. And the responsible person is at fault.
+
As long as all is ok ... everybody is safe.
but when things go wrong ... this is when you see the difference.
Between the surgeon who is scared of the blook and who isn't.
Wrong. Every shark dive is safe, until someone does something stupid.
@@joevictor8431And that's the illusion of control. Humans have no say in what a shark will and won't do. Does human behaviour influence a shark? Of course, but does human behaviour determine what will happen? No... The shark decides that. If you think humans have control over if a shark will attack or not, you have no respect for what wild nature actually is. If one of the sharks is hungry, guards something or even just flips it stance and becomes aggressive, it is game over. You cannot redirect it then. That only works when they are docile and just curious.
Timothy Treadwell also thought he had some cotrol over if bears would attack or not. It went OK for 13 years... It only went wrong once... And that was it.
@joevictor8431
No you're wrong. Read the comments
@@joevictor8431you can’t predict what wild life will do, if a tiger shark is hungry they might attack. And no not every dive is completely safe but safe to a point
I've been diving and spearfishing my whole life, but I've had very few encounters with sharks, probably because I don't go shark diving, and I don't dive with a fish head.
I'm really not interested in shark dives and they don't seem like very responsible behavior.
The few times I've encountered sharks I give them their space and they give me my space and we get along just fine
Spear fishing is dangerous though. A good amount of shark attacks happened while someone was spear fishing
Be safe.
Shark Diving Tip Number 1: Don’t Shark Dive
Thank you!!!
Shark Diving tip Number 2 & 3: Don’t shark dive 😂
thats my rule nr 1
The ONLY tip that matters!
Where’s your sense of human curiosity?
Someone who does understand what you should do with sharks. But i do not believe in shark dives/feeds as it conditions sharks to see human beings as potential providers of food. This in my opinion encourages shark attacks and dangerous situations.
No it doesn’t work that way. Sorry
You have misguided information on this topic.
A shy shark? No! It’s a tiger shark 😂
Tiger sharks are very shy and cautious. You fell for the hype. I have had several encounters and hardly was able to get close enough for a photo. Hammerheads are pathologically shy. Bulls and great whites? Not so much. But when you see a 13ft great white shark pop up at the cage you are in, your life has been changed. The thing is these apex predators do not want to get hurt either. When they attack a seal that seal could scratch out their eyes or bite their gills. The media has poisoned the public with what sharks are all about. TURN OFF SHARK WEEK! Then book a dive to Beqa passage, Fiji and have big bull sharks swimming around leaving you tf alone. FYI, Fiji does not believe in cages.
Awful… he’s probably a brand new guide who was poorly trained and not at all prepared but pushed forward anyway. What a horrible shark diving company-profits over people’s safety. I hope that lady is okay. 🙏🏻
Thank you for trying to spread awareness that it’s not the sharks fault and pointing out that it was the peoples fault and explaining too
Thank you I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
Are you smoking crack? Yes its the sharks vault and the fools that brought them there. How is this any different then bringing a group of people up close to Grizzly bears feeding? These are apex predators and you are potential food
Fault?
Sharks are PREDATORS!
To deny the obvious is foolish, at best.
The shark is just being a shark, it's not a question of blame or right or wrong. We are supposed to be the ones with intelligence, we are supposed to adopt behavior that minimizes our risk. Not the shark. The shark will act as sharks do and if you didn't take that into account the blame is YOURS.
You mean "unawareness"
i am a former Scuba Instructor working in the Maldives. This looks like the rather new Dive Site Hulumale Entrance.. could be wrong though.. I met the best and the worst Instructors among my Maldivian Colleagues... Some are Cowboys with zero Risk Awarness! The Lady which got bitten is probably not even experienced enough to dive this Spot. And as usual this Incidents arent reported anywhere. According to the shark attack file Maldives are "Incident" free. Ask the Guy whos leg got almost ripped of in April... Worst Shark Dive Management ever recorded!!
Thanks for a thoughtful discussion of this video. My family did the Fiji shark dive and it was basically a 1 to 1 ratio of diver to guide. Guides were equipped with long metal staffs to nudge the sharks away from the guests. The guides managed the guests as a tight group and used the ocean floor to eliminate 50% of any possibility of engagement. The more dives I’ve had with sharks, the less blind fear I have of them. I don’t love the commercialization of sharks, but when you balance that with increasing awareness and protecting them, there is something to be gained for the sharks.
That tactic of putting everyone in a tight group wasn't that save as you see it. You should search for Robert Marc Lehmann on shark attacks, he explains very well on certain dangerous encounters with this tight grouping. I can't remember exactly if the person was just bitten, but I have in mind that someone died because of this
"The more dives I’ve had with sharks, the less blind fear I have of them.". This is so well said. I have been around sharks for decades including the AMAZING Fiji dive. I am actually afraid of cows and horses BECAUSE I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THEM. And they are BIG! Shark Week and Jaws are the worst things to happen to sharks.
Please do tell us where you did shark dive in Fiji? Which island exactly, which resort and which dive company? I’d love to do it but it’s hard to research on your own. Thank you in advance. 🙏
@@luxurytravel759 We dove with Beqa Adventure Divers on the south coast of Vito Levu. We had 5 people so we got a Vrbo at Malaqereqere Villas. There are 2 great hotels that are stunning nearby - 1) Intercontinental Fiji - great beach, pool, spa. 2) Outrigger Fiji Beach resort-amazing treetop massage rooms. Enjoy!
“I don’t love the commercialization of sharks but I’m actively participating in it”
Gotcha 😂
The way it was able to cruise up behind her and bite the tank is shocking. I’ve always heard that was Rule #1 with tigers is to never turn your back to the shark.
It’s why divers who offer these excursions, such as diving with sharks have you sign waiver saying they’re not responsible for you well being. Which is crazy.
This guy needs to be fired!! The whole group was put in danger because of him!
This poor woman... It's make me so mad. 😡
It makes me mad too but for this reason: I am deeply involved in "Less than tourist" diving adventures. Big open ocean animals, predators.....INTERESTING stuff. Some dive operators just say "Jump in, it will be fine!", What I think they need to do is to say (if it was the case of entering the water with a tiger): "You are about to get in with the shark species that is second most implicated on fatal attacks on man. This will be YOUR choice. You are not required to take this risk and you will not be shamed for sitting this one out, but this is an apex predator that can be interacted with but REQUIRES your full attention. You are not obligated to enter the water, this is your choice. We have never had an accident but that has no bearing on how this encounter will go". So many dive operators say "Just get in!" and it usually works out fine. This time it didn't.
The whole group was put in danger because they knowingly and willingly got in the water with fucking Tiger Sharks!!
They were in danger because they went into the water with tiger sharks.
@@TheGreyRider-p5zugh here comes the “I’m so smart” comments. You know nothing so stop talking. You also knowingly get in the car and drive even thought you have way higher chance of getting in the accident and dying. 🤨
#1 , don't get in the water with a tiger shark
“Shark diving is good for sharks?” right, because they didn’t do so well for 450 million years before human “love & conservation”😂
You mean 6 thousand years? Evolution is a hoax
Read book by Ken Ham, Answers.
its good for sharks because it helps people understand they are not the monsters media portrays them as, not because the sharks need affection or enrichment.
as someone who has dived with sharks this is absolutely scary. Diving with sharks is an amazing experience but proper briefing and understanding of there nature and what to do is essential. moving around and making quick movements signals to the shark you are food. no mater how fast you swim the shark is way faster than you. So the best think is to remain calm and let the shark know you are aware of him and keep eye contact.
They could do everything right and still be bitten by shark because it doesn't care.
You are absolutely correct with everything you said Andriana. Well said.
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
You only have five years experience as a shark guide. You should be the last person that anyone wants to go out in open water with. LOL
@@joebrown2309
Still better than going with you
@@Commentator488 Wrong. Your best bet going with him is that you will make it back home ! (because he will not allow you to do any bllsht !)
@@joebrown2309Five years is a long time especially doing this day in and day out.
Chumming the water during a shark dive is insane to me and I have never been in the water with sharks
Having bait and chumming the water with fish guts & blood are two different things. I don’t know exactly what they were doing though.
@@katesansom3841 the diver in charge had a fish head or part in his hand that he drops at one point
@@Canine_Mind Yes, I saw that. I would call that bait, not chumming. I also meant that I don't know the full story behind the video -- like why they were there and what their goal was.
@@katesansom3841 the goal was to take tourists to dive with sharks.
Your comment explains part of why sharks are misunderstood. You have never been in the water with sharks but don't understand why bait is used. Basically, sharks are AFRAID of people. If you are an underwater photographer you need your subject withing inches of the lens to get a good photo. Bait is REQUIRED. Not like the moron in this video casually carrying around bait on an un-caged dive, hence the accident. Shark attacks, especially fatal ones are rare than fatal lightening strikes. Learn about sharks. Understanding them will make your fears and prejudices go away.
considering the tiger shark as playful should be gross negligence
No one there is going to blame the shark, everyone dives with sharks knowing the risks.
I love when she says Shark Diving is great for sharks… haha, I knew what she was trying to say, but I couldn’t help but imagine a shark rubbing its fins together saying, “Yessssssssssss, gooooooooood, gooooooood.” Hahahaha😂

"I am going to explain what is wrong in this video. First of all" - you decided to swim with a fkn tiger shark
Finally some sense. These gate keeping ass divers who film themselves redirecting for clicks. Almost like when people threw a fit when the bear ends up eating or mauling its owner …” why would the bear react in such a way!?”
Are there any details? It would be helpful to know the dive site and the operator.
The first thing they did wrong: they went diving WITH SHARKS 🦈
Some of the most amazing experiences I have EVERY had in my 63 year life was diving with sharks. This was an amateur operation.
@@drk321 n = 1
Pro tip: swimming with predators is Always a bad idea.
Pro tip: Getting into your car and getting on the road is a worse idea. 1.35million traffic deaths worldwide annually. 7-10 shark attack deaths worldwide annually. So I take it you don't drive? It's either that or you are not an actual pro. Mosquitos kill nearly a million per year. One species of snake kills 130,000 per year. Dogs, pigs, cows, hippos, lions, deer are FAR more deadly than sharks. Selfies are far more dangerous than sharks. I would save the "pro tip" comment for things you are actually a pro at. Aloha.
No not ok to feed sharks as the people they approach later may not be shark wranglers. It's a selfish practice.
I get it, the lady is trying to safe the reputation of sharks and wants to make us believe that shark diving is actually safe thing to do if the dive instructor is a professional, but I take bets that she, or her company, will make you sign a little piece of paper, before going down there. That piece of paper probably reads something like: you can‘t sue us if you get eaten.
I don’t see any benefit of these shark dives. Don’t make sharks comfortable around humans and humans comfortable around sharks. No other species does these things or has anyone ever heard of chicken doing a guided trip into the forest to watch and pet foxes?
Sharks do shark things and humans do human things, stay away. Nothing spiritual about getting in the space of wild animals. It’s nature.
The ego of humans to think we can control the environment of wild animals where they are expected not to bite us. Even the most controlled, best instructor can get bitten if the shark chooses to.
Bruce : “I am a nice shark, not a mindless eating machine. If I am to change this image, I must first change myself. Fish are friends, not food….”
~ Bruce…the great white shark.
How hard do you redirect them? About the same steady force as pushing a beach ball underwater? Probably also depends on the size and speed of the shark...
I know one thing. You would use more force and direction than what that guide did! Just flicking his hand out like that was asking for trouble
@@davidhoban3825 Engaging in uncaged dives with Tiger Sharks is asking for trouble!
This is why I do all my shark dives on the internet. Never had a problem so far!
Shark diving tip number 1 don't take people with you like you are going into a petting zoo doesn't matter how much experience you got, that's exactly how you scare people of them, you are never in control and cannot avoid those scenarios
People have swung to the other extreme of the Jaws era into thinking sharks are harmless and even calling them such silly things as "water puppies". People are so bad at taking a nuanced middle ground. Swimming with certain species of shark on purpose without a cage should never be done. Period. They also don't seem to realize that shark attacks are so rare because shark encounters in general are rare. While it's true that even if you do encounter a shark, the most likely outcome is that you will be fine, the statistics are still highly misleading and do not say anything meaningful about the level of risk (which is indeed high).
Stupidity is far more dangerous than sharks will ever be.
Stop thinking sharks are pets you can redirect like you want. They are animals that need to eat. Even though we humans don’t figure in their diet, from the moment we are swimming in their habitate we we enter the food chain and become prey.
This condescension and arrogance to think that we can prevent a shark attack or avoid it by our actions is either stupidity or pure unconsciousness. We are like toys to them. The shark has no intention of attacking. He is playing or just being curious. The day you come across a shark that is hungry and really wants to attack I challenge you to put your hand in to redirect it. You will lose your arm and your life. The people there are only alive because of the good will of the shark. Stop thinking that you are in control of anything in the water. That is not the case.
You’re right, it’s pure arrogance of acting like she could stop a shark or tell someone how not to be attacked by a shark is ridiculous and delusional.
@@Variant1on1 Except she's done thousands of dives with sharks, is a educated shark expert, works in shark conservation, and has hundreds of videos demonstrating that she and her team absolutely conduct safe dives... you know, all that evidence to the contrary, I am sure you must be more of an expert.
Well.....There is a guaranteed way to avoid Shark attacks that is neither arrogant nor condescending. Also I can tell anyone how not to be attacked by a Shark without being ridiculous or delusional. Everything else I agree with totally.
@@TheGreyRider-p5z yes I know a way too. No entering their habitate
Not really. Predators like sharks didn't evolve and survive for so long by being as stupid as blindly attacking anything they come across simply because they are hungry.
why is every video now full of jump cuts
Decline of attention span
I have a question, it has to do with the story of the Red Sea attacks and this is how the story was told so please correct me if i have it wrong, its something that made me think shark diving could be dangerous, look at the oceanic white tip that was biting swimmers arms and mid section in the Red Sea off Egypt, the shark responsible had a nick in its fin and was recognised to be a regular at a shark feeding spot, the shark feeding was discontinued and this shark continued looking for its food source and was biting these people where it would usually receive a fish, now if this story is what really happened then that would suggest that shark diving is teaching sharks to associate people as a food source, wouldn't it ?
That's a very good question; and it is scary to think about it.
@@9xqspx6 yes I think so too.
Technically, yes, it could condition these animals to associate humans with free food. However, that would require extensive, purposeful "training," like Pavlov's dog. Moreover, not all dive operations use bait. Like whale watch businesses cannot guarantee you will see a whale, many dive operators cannot guarantee you will see a shark. Depending on where you are, and depending on the time of year, you may have a better chance of seeing sharks. But, as she said, you would need to rely on the experience of the local operators; good ones know their waters best.
Yes, there are predators and there are prey; it's been that way for at least the last half-billion years. But, we all share this planet; no one species has exclusive rights to it. So, it's important that humans understand and appreciate the myriad of other creatures that also live here. And, through careful, responsible, conscientious observations, it's possible to learn to co-exist with Nature in peace and genuine respect.
of course it is. why is it illegal to feed bears? because they dont want bears to learn that where there are humans there are food. even if they dont feed them its really bad. sharks are naturally pretty nervous about humans and usually stay away. but the more these shark divers swim with them, the less nervous they get. and you can see them becoming less and less nervous. starting to swim right up to people and bump them.
@@thereadersvoice thank you 👍
I blame people like you that tell people it’s safe to dive with sharks.
100%
I’m 100% with you. This guy clearly has no idea what he’s doing and the sense of fear amongst everyone there (spearheaded by the leader of course) is literally palpable. Meaning… it was very palpable to that shark who was there to experience it up close and in person. So yes, this situation could and should have been avoided. That being said, I couldn’t help myself but to point out that above that…. This situation DEFINITELY could have been avoided if these people had considered, “I’m following a ‘ shark expert’ I’ve never met into the deep blue to expose myself to arguably the most dangerous species of shark there is. Maybe I shouldn’t dive with sharks. There are a lot of better ways to spend a vacation…” 🤦🏼♂️… as much as I support shark diving / any other activity that brings joy / connection to other beings, I can’t really blame anyone beside EVERYONE here for deciding to get in the water - a habitat that they are ENTIRELY unfamiliar, clumsy and goofy in (particularly with inexperience) - with a large tiger shark - an apex predator in its prime habitat, where it can see, hear, sense and move better than any human possibly could. Not to mention, experience or not, when you’re a human and your face to face with a large tiger shark, and that shark decides to predate, you’re done. There will be no “re directing”. There will only be a sudden attack, dreadful screams, and the inevitable water filled with red. to… have fun? I mean, to each their own… for real! But I think in today’s world, it’s important that adults take responsibility for their own personal actions. Nobody forced anybody to do this (that I’m aware of). The guide was indeed misguided, but so were these people! If ya don’t want to get bit by a shark. Don’t get in the water with them. Simple as that 🤷🏼♂️
Best way to avoid being bitten is by not intentionally swimming with a large tiger shark.
Sharks will kill you.

@@JohnMoore-xf5wy I snorkel for hours at a time and free dive. Have also done actual diving multiple times. Again, nobody who is used to diving would ever claim ‘sharks will kill you’. They would be well aware that there are many, many different species of sharks and only a handful of shark species that pose any significant danger to humans whatsoever.
Bruce: If you meet a human in the water he will give you a fish. If not...
No one can really control a rogue shark.
I really appreciate this video. I’ve seen a bunch of shark “attack” videos that weren’t actually attacks. The shark was just being a shark and the divers were stressing them out.
they're still attacks if the sharks bit something out of their own free will, which they did
Incidents like these are called "provoked attacks". The distinction between provoked and unprovoked is, obviously, that the humans did something to cause the shark to bite.
@@Texas240
Yeah.
There are lots of shark attack data sets from memory. It would be interesting to see what the criteria/demarcations are for these metrics. What is provoking and what is not. I'd posit the baseline for people is that their behaviour in water is not only conducive to shark curiosity but to attacks. Especially untrained people who have become aware of a large shark in proximity. They act like frightened prey. The outlier are divers who behave in ways that keep sharks passive. Also surfers who paddle their boards without knowledge of large sharks below. Their grace and confidence prevents arousal, but not curiosity. Otherwise, millions of swimmers playfully thrash about in the water every day around the globe. Just swimming vigorously esp. in rough seas would be conducive to arousal.
the best safety measure anyone could take to avoid being bitten by a tiger shark is to just not go diving in the ocean
Thanks for educating people on this! But this must also show that instructors like this should have better knowledge I guess.
I’ll give you the best tip: don’t swim with sharks - thank me later 😉👌
Clearly, the "guide" was completely incompetent.
it was the "ok" sign for me

I like how she says I’ve been training with sharks for a very long time
Then proceeds to say five years like she’s some pro shark vet who’s been in the game longer then the game itself 🤣🤣
No matter how much she tells me that sharks aren’t scary, I’ll continue to be terrified of them. But fascinated by her videos.
Anybody knows where this took place?
A shark is a wild animal nonetheless, you are in their space and a visitor. This is equivalent to being in grizzly bear’s presence and just poking it just to see what happens…that is their space and you have to be knowledgeable and respectful
Oh come on guys, let them be. We all know evolution does also eliminate stupidity. It's good for the advancement of our species and also the sharks ! 😂🏆👍🏻
Hey Andriana, Why don't you go to extend your 5 years in South Africa at Port St. Johns at "Second Beach" ?
🤣🤣🤣
I don't know whether your shark experience will be extended or stopped ! 🤣🤣🤣
"People will say sharks are monsters, they just want to go up and eat everything". Don't sharks actually want to eat anything they can get away with eating though? Isn't that the case with all predators? When you don't know when your next meal is and if you don't eat you die and you aren't a pet that gets fed, that kind of changes the equation doesn't it. I mean, seriously people will twist and turn all ways to support whatever they believe in... If you love sharks like you do how can you be trusted to give an unbiased view, it's only logical that your view will be biased in favour of sharks no matter what. For sure these shark divers might be hopeless and maybe these sharks aren't the well fed docile ones you usually engage with either... I don't buy either story that sharks are mindless monsters attacking people all the time, nor do i buy your story that sharks are these gentle benevolent creatures who wouldn't hurt a fly... As usual the truth will be somewhere in the middle.. You do all your 'redirecting' in ideal conditions, most people who encounter sharks will not have these conditions. Also you seem to only redirect Tiger Sharks, can we have some videos of you redirecting Great Whites, Bull Sharks, and Oceanic White Tips etc etc please. Spread the love around to all shark species please. ❤

No they don't want to eat anything they can get away with. You just saw a video of multiple divers being super reckless with a bigass fish head and the only thing that happened was a minor bite on the hand. That shark could've killed all those people easily. It didn't want anything to do with them. That's why divers have to entice the sharks with fish. If the sharks just wanted to kill and eat everything including humans, that wouldn't be necessary
I say this all the time in the comments of these videos.
They don’t want to eat everything, the video proves this. The shark bit the woman to test what she is and if she is prey, of course if there is prey the shark is going to eat it, that’s what animals do. This shark bit the woman, discovered she was not prey, and then swam away, it EASILY could have eaten all of the divers there if it truly wanted to eat everything. They are not monsters, it bit the woman to see if she was prey, upon finding out she wasn’t, it swam away. It only considered she was prey from the fact the guide was being so reckless.
Even the marlin lost it’s head over this whole situation unfolding

TO MAINTAIN A SAFE SHARK DIVE.
DON'T
JUST DON'T
DO IT AT ALL😅😅😂😂😅🎉🎉😅.
HUMANS: WERE SWIMMING WITH SHARKS.
SHARKS: YES WE KNOW YOUR SCUBA DIVING, I'M JUST HAVING A TASTE.😅😅😢🎉😅.
Thank you Adriana, and you're right people who don't understand sharks will point at this and blame the shark. And that just pisses me off so much. Because you know this video will go viral and misrepresent an animal that is already heavily misunderstood. Just so frustrating.
Thanks Adriana for explaining the safety of people in the sea and the sharks behaviour, take care 🦋👼😇🙏🙏💫💫
Maybe people shouldn’t encroach on shark’s territory for their own amusement. Perhaps, like guiding inexperienced clients up Everest, taking paid clientele to dive with dangerous wildlife is a bad idea. So many of these wildlife “experts” are in it for their own ego gratification by exhibiting their imagined mastery over a dangerous species. That and to make a buck guiding these tours I suppose.
Sooooo what happened to the lady that got bit? How bad was the injury?
Everything is "under control" until it isn't anymore. The risk to dive with an experience guide might be very low, but it will never be zero.
Alright folks. There might be bears in the petting zoo.
shark: hmm😋good meal
divers: no im not you're food
Name and shame.
You are asking not to support these operators, which is perfectly reasonable given the circumstances but who are they? We need to know who they are in order to avoid them.
I do not know the exact operator for this situation but doing research into companies you want to go with is huge to avoid this kind of situation!
@@andriana_marine As with your Parachute example, it is scary putting your life in someone else's hands while assuming they know wth they are doing. Research is key.
Thank you so much for walking us through this.
Is there an operator you recommend in Fuvahmulah?
You're right but all sharks are cute and sweet. I don't care what kind of shark it is when a shark is starving it will eat even humans. What is a shark. Well one name given is a predator and it has instincts to kill and is good at it and they can take you by surprise. Even if someone takes your advice and they should it does guarantee no bites or accidents just makes it safer. Look at Vladimir popov in Egypt. The guy was minding his business when a hungry tiger tore him to shreds
And do you know the company where this guide came from?
Thanks for incredible footage and knowledge Andriana. We appreciate you! ❤️🦈
It's like this......if you are in the water with any sea life......and something doesn't go your way...... IT'S..... YOUR..... FAULT.......
I’ve heard when the sharks side fins are down, it means they’re ready to hunt. Anyways I don’t think connecting with wild life is worth losing my life
You are correct.
It means that they're ready to attack.
Getting bit by a Tiger that big is crazy. That must have been a ton of damage
Of course, you are not going to blame the shark because that's how you make your living. Tiger sharks should not be interacted with by divers. They are predators and need to be avoided and not connected with.
Vi videos de ella y a ella no la muerden ,,puedes explicar porque a ti no te muerden ???
Thank you for spreading truth & awareness, they’re NOT ‘mindless killing machines’.
Yes they are. Of course they are.
"I am a nice shark, not a mindless eating machine. If I am to change this image, I must first change myself. Fish are friends, not food "
@@Him.Me.Q.and.P beat me to it xD
Definitely not mindless. But "killing machines", for sure.
100% they're apex predators that need to be respected, but are far from mindless. they're intelligent, curious animals that, much like dogs, unfortunately only have one way of testing what is and what isn't food: their mouth. The way people instantly jump to villainize sharks when most of the time humans don't even know they're sharing the water with a shark because generally they're not interested in us is so frustrating 🙄
I've never gone on a guided shark dive. But I have freedived in waters with sharks. Other than a brief interaction with 2 nurse sharks (my fault), I have never experienced a close meeting. They almost always ignore me. I am just another creature in the water. And I don't look like their normal food source.
Do you not see you are helping to encourage this?
It's not a shark dive, it is shark feed
5 years, wow real lifetime worth of experience.
🤣👍 I bet those 5 years were wasted on tattoo-covering her whole body !
Exelente analisis....! Faltó analizar la peligrosa posición de nado arriba del tiburón.
Una muy buena explicación sobre todo lo que NO hay que hacer.
Gracias por tus comentarios...!😄
What's your agency name? Do you have a website?
Only way I would swim in the ocean is if a pod of Orcas invited me.
What’s wrong?
#1 you dive with sharks
Do you have any advice for swimmers on what to consider to be safe from sharks?
We don't see them as easily as divers and as far as I've heard splashing attracts sharks so could the normal leg stroke already be dangerous?
Lack of responsibility
Thank you for the work, and education you do.
Hey. Is there a way to go for shark diving with you??
All SCUBA training these days is abysmal and unsafe, BUMS ON SEATS IS THE GOAL
I attended a couple of shark dives and I experienced almost every time a lack of briefing from the guides. No matter how established an well known the dive shop was, and I never went to a discount shop. I once gave feedback to the tour guides both verbally and in writing, that the briefing was too short, questions and concerns of inexperienced divers have not been taken serious and this cannot be acceptable when diving with large predators. All went well, nothing strange or remotely aggressive ever happened, but I feel like this became a common practice for many guides, that at one point in time they just drop their guard and somehow no longer take shark diving as serious as I would them expect to do.
These kind of videos keep ruin the experience for me, as you never know what kind of knucklehead guide you will come across next time.
Most of my dives have been 'tourist' dives. (not shark dives, but every dive might be a shark dive) And too often it's been a crap dive with an inexperienced and untalented dive master that is obviously recently qualified and on some kind of working holiday. Plus there's often uncertified 'discovery' divers mixed in creating a sense of chaos.
Andriana, great info! Thanks for sharing... 🦈👍🏼
They got in the water with sharks! That's what they did wrong!
Great video, very logical. It makes so much sense
“I’m gonna explain everything they did wrong”
I could make it quick. They went diving with tiger sharks.
You listed things wrong with this situation but missed the biggest one imho. "Don't get in the water with a shark to begin with"
