After diving with truly aggressive Oceanic White Tips (Longimanuses) this is not one. This is the typical curious but not particularly aggressive (yet) behaviour of an Oceanic White Tip shark looking for weakness or an opening, as is their common practice. If this were a truly aggressive shark the difference would be very evident. The pectoral fins would be well down, the back arched, the movements much faster, as well as irradic & becoming targeted. Longimanus are fearless & will not hesitate to attack & seriously bite anything in the water they consider prey, as they are open ocean sharks & cannot afford to pass up any opportunity to feed. This shark exhibits none of the characteristics of an aggressive Longimanus on the attack. If he were on the attack, no fin in his face would have been affective at blocking an attack. He would simply be too fast & powerful. Longimanus are one of the most powerful sharks in the ocean & very fast, when on the attack. They're deadly accurate if they do attack & no person would have an easy time deterring one of them from biting, once they had committed to the attack. This is simply a curious shark checking out these divers who are acting like rookies who are nervous wrecks & very lucky this shark wasn't aggressive, as they did everything a diver can do wrong, while diving with Longimanus except continue facing the shark. That part they got right. Otherwise, if this had been an aggressive Longimanus these guys would've more likely than not invited an attack, as their behaviour indicated fear & was very irradic, as well as "noisy". It's not fins u want to present to Longimanus, it's face to face & watch ur back, as these sharks bear watching at all times & very strong body language presented to them by divers. No swimming backwards presenting arms, legs & fins as a defensive measure, while attempting to swim backwards in what appears to the shark an effort to escape exciting their prey drive even further. That's a mistake & good way to lose a foot, hand or large part of an arm or leg to one of these powerful sharks. If this had actually been an aggressive Longimanus that's exactly what might've happened very quickly & very violently. These sharks have strong jaws filled with large serrated teeth. They take off large mouthfuls by latching on & violently shaking their heads back & forth to "saw" through the flesh & bone of prey &/or carcasses. Very efficient & very fast.
Julia McDonald-Carberry your suggestion is just to face the shark and to keep calm? Legs and arms close to the body?Many videos show an encounter close to the surface, sometime while ending the dive... what should divers do when the air comes to an end and the shark hasn't stopped being curious:)
Aggressive sharks are the bull sharks of reunion island. Imagine having your breakfast on the patio of a beach cafe and watching the islands best lifeguard lose his head and torso to a two-pronged bull shark attack. You won't eat hashbrowns with ketchup anymore.
@@foxtrotsierraproductions8626 You don't know the story, it's sad. You even have a video on the channel with a shark, but you don’t know the biggest tragedy associated with sharks (long-winged in particular)I live on another part of the earth and I know about it...
@@foxtrotsierraproductions8626 They definitely did. Many of the sailors were already compromised b/c of the torpedo and elements. But Whitetips presumably dined on hundreds of them before it was over.
The one thing i noticed which was a good thing. was you joined back together, when the shark started coming closer. Noticed quite frequently divers are spaced apart which can become very dangerous. When your closer you become bigger and less of a target.
This is a curious shark, but not terribly dangerous, though it’s pectorals are down at times and it’s back arched - oceanic white tips can be very, very aggressive, much more so than this … and BIGGER. They can also hunt in pairs or small groups. They talk mostly about the “Big Three” - Great White, Tigers, and Bull Sharks, but longimanis/OWT are just as dangerous.
Dive with a shark shield and a bang-stick for goldfish that get too aggressive. If the shark shield doesn't deter it, stop playing - out comes the smoke pole. If it gets more aggressive and you can't evade, there's no choice. If a dog in the street attacked you, it would be destroyed without hesitation. People grandstand about a shark trying to kill or maim a human - it's just a fish. Stop virtue-signalling - its just a fish. If it bites a human, the consequences are horrific and/or permanent.
Between the surface and 5m down it is their zone. Going in the water, negative entry, legs together with one hand on the dump valve. Meet with your dive buddy at 5m and make your way to the reef (if there's one). Underwater below 5m if he is still interested/curious, vertical position, legs close together or crossed. Use your camera or flashlight to gently push him away/redirect if he gets to close. Exit 2 by two if it is a large boat with two ladders, zodiac... ascend from your safety stop or hold location directly on your target, avoid surfacing and swimming. Remember that surface to 5m is their interest area.
I got bitten in my left hand while spearfishing by a 6 ft bull since that day the sharks that had got close to me and crossed the line, I have put a 12-gauge power head on them. and yes, I love sharks and I think they are awesome, but I love my self more.
@@foxtrotsierraproductions8626 perhaps sharks have since learned about toxic masculinity and are now less aggressive and increasingly identifying as non binary.
Probably the most unpredictable of all the sharks. At least a single great white or tiger if you’re in the water and you can swim up to them and approach them on their level it’s probably a little less disconcerting than being on the surface and having these small sharks zipping around you like this.
Bulls are bigger. These skinny sharks are amazing because they fast bite like they know kungfu. The big boys just saunter up and bite a guy in half. Bulls are crazy that they will eat anything and have bit people in the MS River, as they can tolerate fresh water..@@Casini1
Have to agree with those saying that 'aggressive' describes typical oceanic whitetip behavior - and why woudn't it? When you carve out a niche in the vast desert that is the pelagic open ocean, you surely must investigate every single potential prey item, probe it for weakness & desirability. Particularly if it appears ill-equipped or awkward on your hometurf, as humans surely must (because we are, obviously.) A large, handicapped terrestrial animal that moves slowly must seem like a potential windfall and if attained, a much better effort-for-energy expenditure then having to chase down some fast, agile piscivoran neighbor.
Divemasters at Elphinstone Reef were categoric when I dived there: don’t stay on surface with Longimanus around. Don’t even stay above them while diving.
I was a DM in the Red Sea for some years and I completely agree, they can be dived with and it's an amazing experience,but not without its risks. Very temperamental sharks, the one I least trust
@@ppo2424 it appears most attacks in the red sea happened were by oceanic white tips and mako sharks. Also last month a female tiger shark ate 2 women in front of hurghada 😱 i wanted to go snorkeling in the region next month but now im terrified 😵💫

You were lucky. The Oceanic White Tip is ultra aggressive and lethal. Only a fool would be in the water with these. They were systematically seeking a weakness to kill you and eat you.
The light or camera what you had the pink one did look like a deliberate nudge to the shark at it's rear end or was it accidental ? Has which ever way it was I believe the shark got annoyed with that especially that end of the body of the shark . Just curiosity but I'm sure very frightening to experience . I feel I too would push away the shark if I was quick enough . Still I didn't experience this . You was quite lucky .
EXACTLY! There is nothing about aggressive sharks! They have their instincts and stupid humans do not respect their nature! I get so angry about these people!
El comandante Costeau en sus tiempos contó un encuentro con estos tiburones ,y no le hizo mucha gracia ,son de un ataque inesperado y rápidos .Muy difíciles cuando atacan esquivar su ataque ,son los verdaderos comedores de náufragos .
Lot of dumbasses saying "Oh he's just curious, he's not acting agressive" So when I'm on a date with your daughter, and she thumps me a few times because I won't stop advancing, I'm not acting aggressive right? Sharks only get curious about two things, can i fuck it, or can I eat it. The don't swim around thinking "Gee, the ocean is filled with fascinating creatures I wish to learn more about." Curiosity from a shark will only end in one of two ways, loss of of interest, or you get bitten. I seldom see OWT lose interest, or the kind of behavior displayed in this video deescalate, their behavior is different from other sharks, specifically, they are very difficult to dissuade.
I'm just an amateur coral reef snorkeler familiar with cruisey reef sharks. Recently I witnessed my first shark attack on two large bluefin trevally. The white tipped reef shark pounced like lightening and still the fish got away.
The title is completely misleading. The shark was not aggressive at all, curious I would say that yes. Maybe he just wanted to ask the human why millions of his kind are slaughtered every year to make fin soup.
Cousteau considered the Oceanic White tip as the most dangerous of shark species. As has already been said, they are often overlooked in favour of the big three.

Jaques Crouestau once said they are the most dangerous shark in the ocean. More so than whites, bulls, and tigers. Their kill count is unknown in open deep waters.
Oceanic White Tip- “Let’s see if these cats can make it to the boat” 😂. If these Sharks attack don’t forget it’s their home that is slowly getting ravaged by humans dumping hazardous waste in the Ocean not to mention overfishing depleting and killing their food source. They can’t pass an opportunity to feed cause they don’t know when the next meal is coming.

This is the perfect answer to " Why don't I want to go scuba diving or swim in the ocean?" Yes, without having to say a single word , this video provides a perfect answer to that question.
No business being on surface unless getting out the water That's one way to ensure a white tip might bite. Stay at 5 to 3 m down then when the zodiacs ready surface in twos... one watching under water as one takes off gear and gets in boat the second takes gear off while keeping eye under water.. Stay deeper and possibly against the reef if the shark is in a bad mood.. That shark was in a very calm mood luck for these dudes lol 😆
This is not an "aggressive" longimanus, this is a normal longimanus, and this is their usual behaviour, yours are wrong, never put the fins in front of him, always show the face, always watching the shark.
You are so right! With seven recorded, unprovoked attacks and two whole fatalities under it's belt, the Oceanic White Tip is among the most aggressive sharks in the ocean! (fun fact, the nurse shark has 7x more attacks on it's rap sheet than the OWT.)
Shut up Danielle, nobody has time for your smug condescending ass. "Growing up to 10ft long, they are not the largest sharks, but their ferocity once led the oceanographer Jacques Cousteau to describe them as ‘the most dangerous of all sharks’." And your statistics are shit. White tips accounts for what is believed to be hundreds of deaths, although most of them come from the attacks on the sailors that went into the water with the USS Indianapolis during WW2.
The thing about a white tip though, completely unpredictable. They don't even know what they will do next. He doesn't have to have his back arched and pectoral fins pointed downward to bite you. Although they attack divers often, your best defense is to be under water where you can face him and actually have a chance to intimidate him because you are larger than a white tip, is better than being on top of the water like a top water bass lure. You rarely find white tips inshore unless it's an island or deep drop off close to shore. Typically, they are found way out in the ocean and attack divers or shipwrecked survivors. Not Beach people
I don't know what's up with the divers today. What we learned in the early 90s about White Tips was short and simple: If there's one in water, get the f*ck out as fast as possible because it will attack!
Hatte in den letzten 8 Monaten zwei Longimanii beim Dekostopp auf 5 Meter Tiefe. Enger Kontakt bis auf einen halben Meter. Mehrere Minuten lang. Keinerlei Aggression seitens des Haies. Man muss sich nur richtig verhalten. Und da hat sich seitens der Forschung seit den 90ern einiges verändert. Vielleicht mal shark bytes ansehen mit den diversen Analysen vermeintlicher Attacken.
These divers are lucky this shark wasn't a serious contender. As one reviewer noted, you can't just kick at these sharks and think it's going to work. A large shark would relieve you of a foot for trying that. I wouldn't dive into these waters with a small spear to poke them with, nothing violent, just enough to make them feel a little pain. For them to leave you alone, they need to feel that you can fight back.
@@ppo2424 Sure you would, if your life depended on it. Besides, who's looking? It seems you would let yourself get bitten over a stupid rule. Does that make sense?
@@craig6t Well the marine life comes first,dive guides like i was are everywhere. You get reported to the police and you end up in an Egyptian prison cell. It's law. I've done about 3000 dives ,many with sharks of all types and never once been bitten,and never had to defend myself,how about you ?
@@ppo2424 OK. Shark attacks are very rare, but I wonder if you'll be proud that you didn't fight back when you're attacked! Go to this site and listen to some of the stories. th-cam.com/users/results?search_query=sharks+happen. The difference between life and death can come down to whether or not you're willing to hit, beat, or strike the shark. While I hope it doesn't happen, the fact that you've been on 3000 dives means your chances of being attacked are increasing the more you go out.
@@craig6t And how many dives have you been on ? I've been learning about sharks for 40 years, I don't need to watch another you tube channel thanks.Yeah every time you get in your car you stand more chance of having a nasty accident infinitely more chance than ever being attacked by a shark,so you wont be getting in a car again good for you.I'll rely on my experience thanks.
It's looking for openings to bite, I mean come on. It's not a human, it's not curiously examine others in the way that we might- it's concerned with food.
@@cowuwu1 Haha, very funny. You do know what kind of shark this is, yes? And what kind of a hunter it is? Then you'll understand that this shark is exhibiting feeding behavior.
@@18skeltor Its curiousity. The fins are not in the aggresive mood position. The Diver did something wrong thats why it thinks its food and go for the taste bite
A me sembra un pinna bianca e non un longimanus. Inoltre è la metà del vostro corpo, quindi non è un adulto ed e tutt’altro che aggressivo, potrebbe essere uno squalo di barriera non un longimanus che è oceanico.
@@18skeltor thank you, you are the ONLY person to have commented this clever observation. I agree; the shark is both curious and annoyed. It should be obvious, but even between ourselves, humans find it difficult to grasp the concept that more than one emotion can be felt at the exact same time.
I didnt see aggression nor did I see an attack or fight. Stop with click-bait , it gets old. Better yet, post footage your proud of, not that you have to lie to get views.
In my opinion this shark appears to be looking for food by divers who feed it. Yeah semi aggressive but not distinct signs of a pissed off shark. Good footage but C'mon man go kick a ant hill !!!!

Nope. Not with white tips…ever.
Most beautiful shark imho
where is the powerhead 12 gauge or 308 , please invite me you will see !!
This is not an "aggressive" longimanus, this is a normal longimanus, and this is their usual behaviour, yours are wrong, never put the fins in front of him, always show the face, always watching the shark.
yeah, the longimanus always same behavior, never gives up. those are small ones but the guys are really playing with fire.
You are so right! With seven recorded, unprovoked attacks and two whole fatalities under it's belt, the Oceanic White Tip is among the most aggressive sharks in the ocean!
(fun fact, the nurse shark has 7x more attacks on it's rap sheet than the OWT.)
Shut up Danielle, nobody has time for your smug condescending ass.
"Growing up to 10ft long, they are not the largest sharks, but their ferocity once led the oceanographer Jacques Cousteau to describe them as ‘the most dangerous of all sharks’."
And your statistics are shit. White tips accounts for what is believed to be hundreds of deaths, although most of them come from the attacks on the sailors that went into the water with the USS Indianapolis during WW2.
Danielle Stevens keep thinking that shit. And stay on dry land. You’ll be ok
Spirit Dot, the longimanus is the Latin name for the oceanic white tip.
they're like passive aggressive --- is this like a divorce finally saying "get away from me"
The thing about a white tip though, completely unpredictable. They don't even know what they will do next. He doesn't have to have his back arched and pectoral fins pointed downward to bite you. Although they attack divers often, your best defense is to be under water where you can face him and actually have a chance to intimidate him because you are larger than a white tip, is better than being on top of the water like a top water bass lure. You rarely find white tips inshore unless it's an island or deep drop off close to shore. Typically, they are found way out in the ocean and attack divers or shipwrecked survivors. Not Beach people
Looks like Elphinstone reef to me…
Bold little dudes! Totally different demeanor from the black tip cousins. Imagine if a Great White had that kind of attitude!
I didn't hear the music from JAWS.
This shark was curious, there was no aggressive behavior.
The difference between curiosity and aggression could be 2 seconds.
Oceanic White Tip. Very unpredictable.
I don't know what's up with the divers today. What we learned in the early 90s about White Tips was short and simple: If there's one in water, get the f*ck out as fast as possible because it will attack!
Hatte in den letzten 8 Monaten zwei Longimanii beim Dekostopp auf 5 Meter Tiefe. Enger Kontakt bis auf einen halben Meter. Mehrere Minuten lang. Keinerlei Aggression seitens des Haies. Man muss sich nur richtig verhalten. Und da hat sich seitens der Forschung seit den 90ern einiges verändert. Vielleicht mal shark bytes ansehen mit den diversen Analysen vermeintlicher Attacken.
Wouldn't hurt to have some type of prod on hand just as a deterrent . Flippers don't do sht
i don't think this shark wants to attack just be curious a little bit to much
Insane man fights shark and never bleeds
These divers are lucky this shark wasn't a serious contender. As one reviewer noted, you can't just kick at these sharks and think it's going to work. A large shark would relieve you of a foot for trying that. I wouldn't dive into these waters with a small spear to poke them with, nothing violent, just enough to make them feel a little pain. For them to leave you alone, they need to feel that you can fight back.
You wouldn't do that in the Red Sea, not permitted.
@@ppo2424 Sure you would, if your life depended on it. Besides, who's looking? It seems you would let yourself get bitten over a stupid rule. Does that make sense?
@@craig6t Well the marine life comes first,dive guides like i was are everywhere. You get reported to the police and you end up in an Egyptian prison cell. It's law. I've done about 3000 dives ,many with sharks of all types and never once been bitten,and never had to defend myself,how about you ?
@@ppo2424 OK. Shark attacks are very rare, but I wonder if you'll be proud that you didn't fight back when you're attacked! Go to this site and listen to some of the stories. th-cam.com/users/results?search_query=sharks+happen. The difference between life and death can come down to whether or not you're willing to hit, beat, or strike the shark. While I hope it doesn't happen, the fact that you've been on 3000 dives means your chances of being attacked are increasing the more you go out.
@@craig6t And how many dives have you been on ? I've been learning about sharks for 40 years, I don't need to watch another you tube channel thanks.Yeah every time you get in your car you stand more chance of having a nasty accident infinitely more chance than ever being attacked by a shark,so you wont be getting in a car again good for you.I'll rely on my experience thanks.
More of a 'dance' with a 'nosey' longimanus, surely? lol
A ‘Longimanus’ shark……there’s me thinking it was just a White Tip……..😊😁
Longimanus is the scientific name of a Oceanic Whitetip
i am no expert, but i think the fins look like he/she is not in a good mood
Complete Opposite
All those cameras with their electric fields don;t help., but it was a successful dive.They stayed too long at the surface though,not the best move.
Oceanic White Tip
So wheres the aggressive shark? I only see the playful curious one
It's looking for openings to bite, I mean come on. It's not a human, it's not curiously examine others in the way that we might- it's concerned with food.
@@18skeltor have you never seen a shark video or just tv shows and movies of sharks lol
@@cowuwu1 Haha, very funny. You do know what kind of shark this is, yes? And what kind of a hunter it is? Then you'll understand that this shark is exhibiting feeding behavior.
@@18skeltor Its curiousity. The fins are not in the aggresive mood position. The Diver did something wrong thats why it thinks its food and go for the taste bite
@@18skeltor I only see a curious shark. If he were agressive, he would have bit them...
That is an oceanic white tip
Longimanus is the other name of oceanic white tip bro
Bang stick.
.
If that thing was checking me out so intently I would strike it before it struck me. They are better men than me
Taylor Gaston
You would be asking for trouble
Exactamundo. That's where having a powerheads comes in handy.
Sharkbanz guys Sharkbanz
hé hé il a l'air d'être jeune et il s'amuse 🦈
A me sembra un pinna bianca e non un longimanus. Inoltre è la metà del vostro corpo, quindi non è un adulto ed e tutt’altro che aggressivo, potrebbe essere uno squalo di barriera non un longimanus che è oceanico.
Sharks only bite when you touch the private parts
This is a curious shark not aggressive!
They can be both! Certainly!!
@@18skeltor thank you, you are the ONLY person to have commented this clever observation. I agree; the shark is both curious and annoyed.
It should be obvious, but even between ourselves, humans find it difficult to grasp the concept that more than one emotion can be felt at the exact same time.
Fight ? Na..cickbait !
You clearly never been in a fight.
Why you say afggressive? maby cuorios, not nervous or with bad intections. No way to give this kind of messages
Are you sure that it's not an Oceanic White tip shark? They are very hungry.
Its their Latin name
Stupid divers....you was the only aggressive animal in the water!
Those oceanic whites are agressive!
I didnt see aggression nor did I see an attack or fight. Stop with click-bait , it gets old. Better yet, post footage your proud of, not that you have to lie to get views.
You're not supposed to be so upset that you didn't get to see a human get maimed, Trish!
No attack
The shark was ganged up on 3 to 1is unfair fight. If it was 1 on 1 that diver would be floating g in 3 different places by now. Go Shark!
Not really
In my opinion this shark appears to be looking for food by divers who feed it. Yeah semi aggressive but not distinct signs of a pissed off shark. Good footage but C'mon man go kick a ant hill !!!!
Shark is not agresiv we are
