I agree. This idea that they are not interested in humans is ridiculous. They are not interested in humans until they suddenly are! This does not mean that they are monsters or twisted killers they are just curious and sometimes hungry. Considering the amount of fish in the ocean and that sharks don't eat them all I could say they are not interested in fish either, don't you think?
I think they've recorded a shark attacking a manatee once. In all of recorded history, they've recorded that once. Sharks don't have mistaken identity. If they don't confuse manatees for seals, what makes you think they confuse humans. You are on the menu sir. You are 100% on the menu
I recently dove there and with that same Tiger shark, Big Momma, and with the Beqa Lagoon Divers in Fiji. It's much different now. First, of course, you can't wear contrasting colors. No yellow, orange or white fins which can be mistaken for the white flesh fish heads they feed them. The bait box is set further away from the divers and there is much more space between for the sharks to come cruising by. The Dive Guides do an excellent job watching out and protecting the divers lined up behind the small wall. There are DGs on each side of the line of divers and three in back, all with poles, along with two up in front that feed Big Momma as she passes by in front of the wall or the other female Tiger if Big Momma isn't there. The DGs watch her and the other Tigers (We had 3 Tigers, 2 females and one male) as they circle in front and around in back. It was totally safe and I even dove a second round later that week. We were all experienced divers, most DMs. The problem with the video was that one DG was too far out behind the group and allowed the Tiger, Big Momma, to sneak in behind the divers. I noticed that that same DG didn't react when the other DGs did. All our DGs were very attentive! I'm looking forward to visiting again. It was a wonderful experience. I even have a video of the dive on my channel. As far as feeding sharks, there are soooo many factors involved with shark attacks. You can't hang shark attacks on just one factor!
@@nancyleedunn That diver wore orange fins which caught the attention of Big Momma. I've dove many dives with sharks of all kinds. You can't wear bright colors or gear that contrasts to the black gear we normally wear. Also, the dive guides didn't maintain a protective perimeter behind the divers. I saw that they left a large opening behind the divers and allowed Big Momma to swim in and attack the diver with the orange fins. The fish heads are white and contrast our black gear. The guides learned from their mistakes and they run a much safer shark dive. I did it twice with a few of those same guides and didn't feel threatened. I did talk with them about this encounter. A number of them are now instructors. Sharks do demand respect! We are visiting their neighborhood! When the food was gone, they circled us a bit then left.
This is not true... Lions are *infinitely* more dangerous to humans than sharks. For lions, humans are a natural prey item, when given the opportunity they will hunt and kill us for food. For sharks on the other hand, we are a bizarre alien from another world, they do not see us as viable prey, moreso a curiosity.
the only true man eater animals are most big cats (like lions) and some crocodiles , being with a crocodile or most big cats would likely get you killed and eaten

I've done 12 shark feedings there myself. They take extremely unexperienced divers (OWD below 10 dives) to these feedings. Look at the people. Bright yellow and orange fins (sharks like contrasts), they don't know that you have to keep you eye on the shark etc. They simply don't know wtf they are doing.

@jabberwolf "A lot" of money goes to a lot of locals in a lot of places where a lot of bad behaviour takes place. I get that sometimes tourism helps out local communities so there's a dilemma, but if a lot goes to the locals, I would venture a guess saying an even bigger lot gets pulled out of the country by the dive shop owners and operators. They are not NGOs, they are in it for profit - heck, if they weren't they wouldn't be feeding sharks.
@jabberwolf Good to hear they are making a bigger piece of the pie than in most other places. I personally still think feeding sharks will come back to bite them in the ass at some point. Or maybe not with a steady supply of new divers from at least one very big country that's just hungry for new experiences.
First of all, respect to the diver that he didn't panic after he lost his mask. I really don't want to offend anyone with my comment. But this situation could have been prevented if the guides had pushed the tiger sharks upwards away from the diver, instead they were pushed in the direction of the divers. Luckily nothing happened to anyone with this fatal mistake.
My one and only scuba dive was in the Tweed River on the border of Queensland and New South Wales, 40 years ago. It was surprisingly deep and we were descending to the river bed when my companion tapped my arm and pointed down. About 20 metres away, there was a Tiger about the size of a bus just chilling on the sand. I'll never forget watching over my shoulder in case that huge tail flicked into gear.
@@cwilson7458 yeah mate, the tweed is famous for its salt water mate, try again mate. Also mate, the size of buses vary quiet massively, soo try again mate.
You should never lost a tiger shark out of sight... that’s a basic rule to tigers dive. When a tiger goes behind you, you dont simple ignore it, like a hammerhead. A tiger on your back without you even knowing it is there is the worst case scenario.
That's a big one. Yeah Tiger sharks, Bull sharks, Blue sharks and reefs are much unpredictable then Great whites for example. Thanks for the footage, nice shark👍
@Witzemacher This person means that wild beasts will chew on humans because humans are always at fault, agitating them, irritating them, any viscous behavior from wild animals is because humans provoked it. That's what this person means. And its full of crap. Wild animals have zero feelings, are unpredictable, don't need agitated, and often savagely attack and rip humans to pieces in very brutal and unforgettable ways. Because they are wild animals. Animals even attack and savagely kill other animals. People need to put Disney down and wake up to the real world where wild animals can't be whispered into being some kind of reformed nature. And also contrary to Disney and other left-leaning liar media forms, it is the hunters among mankind who are directly responsible for the preservation, restoration, and overall betterment of the health and vitality of hundreds of animal species, as well as provide employment and food for many Nations; yes hunters.
@Witzemacher Divers weren't even having their eyes on the shark and the guide pretty much pushed the shark away from himself onto the other divers head
It was like it was an old granny tiger shark, gumming his head. I have no idea how, with the two jaw clenches I saw, he is not bleeding or missing any scalp. I saw him briefly look up and around before ducking his head back down. I hope all was well. Sometimes we get ourselves into some predicaments.
Theres so much wrong with that dive set up, it's beyond ridiculous. Kudos to the lead divers for going in and challenging the Tiger but had it reacted with aggression - we'd be dealing with multiply fatalities. Never mass bait fish when sharks are on he scene particular when Tigers are around. That dive should've been called off, sheesh half the divers looked totally oblivious to their surroundings. Seriously the industry needs regulating before it's too late...
@@jamalford6995 I agree, a lot of self proclaimed experts, commenting BS. It is NOT our element, we are slow, weak, and with poor vision on the ocean, no matter how experienced the divers are, there is always a risk, we are better off not disturbing their environment.
If you look at the 3 different angles you can see: fins in orange, yellow, purple, white, someone with a red bandana, many orange SMBs with orange ropes, a little bit of red on the mask from the diver attacked... I was at Tiger beach in 2019 and they already told us to wear black or dark blue, a hood, gloves,..., that it was dangerous if a Tiger shark passed above you because it could rip your head of, each time we saw a shark we had to point it so that the other divers knew what was going on. When this dive operation started they didn't inform themselves enough. Before the attack we can really see that the Tiger tries many times to bite something and the DM's push it away. Letting the shark behind and above the guests was the mistake. I know that now they learnt how to react: push vigorously the shark if it gets too intrusive...
@@stevenwood4water really sorry this happened to you. I am very unsure about organized feeding for sharks. I think it gets to associate people with food and something like this would be bound to happen. Hope you are OK both physically and emotionally.
If the diver was looking at the Tiger he wouldn't have had the protection of his tank and we'd have seen a lot more blood in the water. I'm not saying you're wrong but maybe this time it protected him?
Who got the bang stick? Those look like full adult tigers 15 feet long damn. In florida we only see sub adults. Glad that ended well. Very thin line slippery slope when dealing with big sharks
@@TurulHEMA Awesome! I was on Oahu a few years ago and got to swim with Galapagos, Sandbar, and Scalloped Hammerheads (video on my channel - plus Tiger Beach videos ) If/when you post a vid on YT, reply on this thread so I’ll know to look for it. Have fun!
Not really. Most sharks are not aggressive towards humans. Tiger and bull are the scariest plus they have food with them… In other videos, you can see divers petting and feeding the tiger shark. I’ve never gone on a dive where we bring food so this is new to me. I agree. Sharks are cute.
Those who know sharks know that the beast was just being curious and was casually investigating. If it wanted, then could have easily shred the person into pieces within seconds
Bullshit. The shark clearly wanted to eat him, it just couldn’t get a good grab with his jaw because of the equipment. It was just sheer luck that the dude didn’t lose his head
@@bkarosi if you think those bunch of plastic or metal did not allow shark to have a good grip then you know nothing about sharks. It can chew metal quite easily. And that's how most fishes investigate things. Soft chews. If it intended to kill him. It would've. Seals and walrus have skins that are usually very thick. Shark ACN easily tear then into pieces. Sharks can even crush turtles quite easily
Was that a shark feeding, cause it looked that way? If so you terds are trainging sharks to associate divers with food. So others who are in water get bit. Can't at feel bad for diver.
Would be better if the shark swam into the office of the operations owner/manager, bit their leg off and used it to beat them over the head cuz they are the real culprits here.
@@stevenwood4water Yes, tiger sharks have been cut open to find license plates, people nuggets, plastic bags, anything that stops moving too long or acts or seems dead...or acts like it's soon to be dead.or seems like it just WANTS to be killed, lol, ..or anything moving at 50 feet per second on a flying surf board or.floundering huge turtles, capybaras,swimming for their lives ...or....yea anything....
Wouldn't call this an attack. The water is chummed to attract sharks, and the scuba gear has a lot of yellow. You can even see the shark go for the scuba tank where there is probably yellow. Sharks see in high contrast so yellow is a dangerous color to wear when swimming with them. If anything, that is a very calm shark thinking it's munching at a dead eel or something.
Looks like the dive group was using burly to attract the large number of little reef fish being observed. Little wonder that the shark was attracted and tempted to 'taste' further.
That's a Prime Example of Derelict Diver that Do not pay Attention to his Surroundings, and that's what happens when you ignored danger around you... Sad!
@@SeanRCope Oh Ive dived about 30 times. Ive seen sharks too but not that close and they weren’t those notorious tiger sharks neither. I know some quick, calm response will going to save you from that situation but it sure will make most of the people panic
''That's some pretty fancy equipment you've got there Mr Hooper.I dunno what that ba**ard sharks gonna do with it,probably eat it....seen one eat a rocking chair one time''.
That could have ended really bad. Glad you're OK. When I did this dive every tourist diver had an escort diver on top of them armed with a stick. Not sure why this operation was different.
@Joseph Burnside Listen here, I've been diving with sharks for years (baited dives with tigers as well) and have never witnessed an attack. Don't try to put me down when what you're saying if false. "high probability"? Absolute bullshit. Approximately 6 fatalities annually from shark attacks and only one is from diving. Don't try to act smart. Get your facts straight.
The thing is, this incident is just the exception and not the rule. More than 50.000 divers go dive each year with Tiger, Bull and Hammerhead Sharks in Maldives, Bimini, Fiji and Bahamas with no serious problems at all. It will be interesting to know all the cincumstances in that dive, and why the Tigers were showing such a badass behavior
Seriously, it's really really cool. Just don't wear orange fins! Beqa Lagoon Resort staff are great - very friendly and awesome guides. You'll love it! Just don't be this guy.
It’ll be fun they said.
They say a lot a thing.. but fun is correct... In my case no that much fun.... But still.... Fun it is...

i’m going in about a week!
Can't wait to jump in with u, only I'll make sure I'm in a Nautilus submersible
I'm glad that you survived. Are you still diving with sharks or did this experience change your mind ?
Rules 1,2,3,4,5,6 and so on of diving with Tigers.
NEVER TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE TIGER.
First dive with tiger... But lucky I m looking at her all time...
If the diver was looking at the Tiger he wouldn't have had the protection of his tank and we'd have seen a lot more blood in the water. I'm not saying you're wrong but maybe this time it protected him?
@@dan4776 eye contact and it doesn't get that far. I've been around a lot of tigers
@@dan4776 No way, if he'd kept his eyes on it he wouldn't have needed protection...
@@jakeshootsstuff8187 rule 7: on the ascent stay packed ahah
Tell me O N E thing: did the shark (or sharks) first got fed (= baiting) first over a quite ong period of time ...... ?
u can ask them (sharks)
Baiting sharks for divers to see is UNETHICAL
ya, shall ban this ...
Who got the bang stick? Those look like full adult tigers 15 feet long damn. In florida we only see sub adults. Glad that ended well. Very thin line slippery slope when dealing with big sharks
Yeah, with large ones, one bite and a head is off.
this one large enough
ya.. damn sexy adult female tiger
I am swimming with Tiger sharks outside of a cage in 4 weeks. Thanks for recommending this to me TH-cam!
Where are you diving?
Hope you enjoy it!
@@WarriorPoet01 North shore of Oahu
@@TurulHEMA Awesome! I was on Oahu a few years ago and got to swim with Galapagos, Sandbar, and Scalloped Hammerheads (video on my channel - plus Tiger Beach videos )
If/when you post a vid on YT, reply on this thread so I’ll know to look for it. Have fun!
I hope you will comment after 4 weeks else we will assume that shark won.
They say Tiger Sharks are dangerous man eaters? There is only one way to find out lets go swim with them and find out if it's true
ya, need more data
Tiger sharks in the waters off Hawaii are very dangerous, I’ve heard. Don’t want to know first second or third hand, or anything else for that matter.
They are actually considered to be more aggressive than Great Whites.
@@kekecom My friends lost their son in a Tiger Shark aggressive attack off Hawaii.
@@ruffianoo That’s sad to hear man 🙏 tragic and unlucky
Did anyone get injured? Or did it just bite his equipment?
I gotta say, diving with sharks has always sounded the dumbest thing to do.
why, shark is cute...
Not really. Most sharks are not aggressive towards humans. Tiger and bull are the scariest plus they have food with them… In other videos, you can see divers petting and feeding the tiger shark. I’ve never gone on a dive where we bring food so this is new to me.
I agree. Sharks are cute.
what exactly attracted the shark ?
she just wanna try to know human
Those who know sharks know that the beast was just being curious and was casually investigating. If it wanted, then could have easily shred the person into pieces within seconds
so who is them
Bullshit. The shark clearly wanted to eat him, it just couldn’t get a good grab with his jaw because of the equipment. It was just sheer luck that the dude didn’t lose his head
@@bkarosi if you think those bunch of plastic or metal did not allow shark to have a good grip then you know nothing about sharks. It can chew metal quite easily. And that's how most fishes investigate things. Soft chews. If it intended to kill him. It would've. Seals and walrus have skins that are usually very thick. Shark ACN easily tear then into pieces. Sharks can even crush turtles quite easily
Agree, it was a taste test, not a full attack at all. Feeding sharks is stupid and causes problems for the future.
So how was your weekend last weekend?
I got bit in the head by a shark
For a moment I thought when it was trying to bite the air tank it was going to blow up like in JAWS 🦈
young man , dont believe movie too much....
That is not even a possibility
It blew up in the movie because Brody shot the tank & he had to hit it just right.
So is it Chinese or Japanese?
Pretty awesome the man diverted it at the last second... Only your mask that got ripped off... Would have been a lot more than that missing. 😁😎🎈
damn lucky
What do they expect, it's like talking a walk through the serrengeti, at night, on flip flops with a tasty bacon sandwich in your hand...
They should do this with bears next !!!
i think they do this to bear
There's a bunch of Russians laughing at this comment.
@@kenadams9376 I am Russian and can confirm, people here not afraid of bears haha
to keep it dangerous enough, try to feed some russians, in a bear costume
where's brown clouds around the divers?
try to watch clearly again
Was that a shark feeding, cause it looked that way?
If so you terds are trainging sharks to associate divers with food.
So others who are in water get bit.
Can't at feel bad for diver.
Ya, stop feeding
Would be better if the shark swam into the office of the operations owner/manager, bit their leg off and used it to beat them over the head cuz they are the real culprits here.
Nope. It is not training sharks to associate food with divers at all.
@@axm2689 Stop talking tripe.
Dave Sherry right after you take your head out of your @$$
Where was the attack?
looks like it gnawed on some diving gear only?
some...no much .. and mask no fit her face too
I’ve read somewhere that those Tiger sharks are worst than Great Whites, and that they attack and eat other sharks as well...
tiger eat a lot thing
@@stevenwood4water Yes, tiger sharks have been cut open to find license plates, people nuggets, plastic bags, anything that stops moving too long or acts or seems dead...or acts like it's soon to be dead.or seems like it just WANTS to be killed, lol, ..or anything moving at 50 feet per second on a flying surf board or.floundering huge turtles, capybaras,swimming for their lives ...or....yea anything....
Bull sharks and tiger sharks are the worst.
@@cryptojihadi265Am I seeing an hammerhead here too?
Wouldn't call this an attack. The water is chummed to attract sharks, and the scuba gear has a lot of yellow. You can even see the shark go for the scuba tank where there is probably yellow. Sharks see in high contrast so yellow is a dangerous color to wear when swimming with them. If anything, that is a very calm shark thinking it's munching at a dead eel or something.
Looks like the dive group was using burly to attract the large number of little reef fish being observed.
Little wonder that the shark was attracted and tempted to 'taste' further.
they use tuna blood and head
It's got shark and tiger in it...what more do you need ?????
one cat
Shark: ohh the buffet is open.
she cut queue
Here after the viral video of the tiger shark attack in Egypt. Does anyone know if there is tiger sharks in Greece?
This is what I call a bunch of amateurs with the exception of the one who pushed the shark away!
What did they think would happen?
a welcome drink first?
That's a Prime Example of Derelict Diver that Do not pay Attention to his Surroundings, and that's what happens when you ignored danger around you... Sad!
so lucky
Wasn’t the divers fault. It was the safety crew’s fault (behind the diver).
It’s like a war zone down there, shark version of after sky net took over and judgment day began
"The adventure of a lifetime!" they heard on Shark Weeks win a trip to swim with sharks.
swim with what shark first
@@stevenwood4water id never swim with sharks but if i had to choose it would be the best shark, the great white..
@@ThemrRewind OMG Your CRAZY!!!!!!
Do u still dive? Id b like HELLZ NO
yes still diving
Can you even imagine what it would be like if we still had some of the prehistoric predators, such as the Kronosaurus, still lurking in the oceans?
=.='' i cant
Dumbasses would still try to swim up to it just to get a selfie or make a Tik Tok 🤦🏻♂️😅
Yes, mankind would simply not go into the sea in any way possible 😂✌🏼
Is that person ok ?
i think so... cos he still replying
one Chinese takeaway is never enough
Shark "hey you guys know we get fed to show up here right? No food..... , well I just eat this guys head."
she picking the snack only
So wrong at the first place. No feeding shark pls, cc to resort. Hopefully your injured not so bad.
Resort is a OK, top management is moron
Can you describe how was the experience? just currious, don't wanna try it myself though XD
to me it looked like the shark was merely trying to get a tactile sense of what something was more than ACTIVELY trying to harm the diver.
If the end result was the shark taking a chunk out of his neck, I don't think it would have mattered
Are you for real?
The headline is wrong.
It should read: "Shark defends itself against humans coming into it's home."
XD
Imagine what would have happened he got his Oxygen tank pipe cut off by that in the middle of the ocean...
that be fine, we train that before..... but no one train this..............
If you dive you have a buddy and everyone has two regulators so not really a problem if one does not panic.
@@SeanRCope Oh Ive dived about 30 times. Ive seen sharks too but not that close and they weren’t those notorious tiger sharks neither. I know some quick, calm response will going to save you from that situation but it sure will make most of the people panic
@@l6k007 agreed, well said. I’m not getting in the water with any tiger shark around.
@@SeanRCope Ive seen a Manta ray and turtles and some middle size sharks from the distance, but no dangerous sharks as tiger shark that big lol...
''That's some pretty fancy equipment you've got there Mr Hooper.I dunno what that ba**ard sharks gonna do with it,probably eat it....seen one eat a rocking chair one time''.
I love how the guy on the right is not even looking. Teaching sharks to associate humans with food? Fools.
he is totally out of situation
Did it actually bite the guy ?
That could have ended really bad. Glad you're OK. When I did this dive every tourist diver had an escort diver on top of them armed with a stick. Not sure why this operation was different.
The dive guide think shark know the rules...
Good grief that setup is ate up like a soup sandwich. What on earth were these guys thinking??
Nice relaxing dive...
XD
Sharks probably thinkin', "how yall gonna invite me to the party & then get upset I show up?"
When you poke sharks with long metal poles what do you expect.
Anyway the shark just thought his head was food. Which of course it is to a shark.
A bit brittle...and the neoprene shell doesn't taste very good
but poke is after....
neoprene just like gum
It’s the person okay?
still replying
This is why I swim in the pool right beside the ocean!
u shall try the pool next to u
Hopefully you're not in Australia..
Hey Steven, honest question: Did you do anything *with your camera* that could've possibly lead to this?
No, dive actual just start 5min, no shoot start yet.. she just feel I need a hug
Steven Sim Hahaha 😂👌🏻
@Joseph Burnside Listen here, I've been diving with sharks for years (baited dives with tigers as well) and have never witnessed an attack. Don't try to put me down when what you're saying if false. "high probability"? Absolute bullshit. Approximately 6 fatalities annually from shark attacks and only one is from diving. Don't try to act smart. Get your facts straight.
that diver kept his head
ya , head
still there
The thing is, this incident is just the exception and not the rule. More than 50.000 divers go dive each year with Tiger, Bull and Hammerhead Sharks in Maldives, Bimini, Fiji and Bahamas with no serious problems at all. It will be interesting to know all the cincumstances in that dive, and why the Tigers were showing such a badass behavior
That's a big fkn tiger shark!
so bigggg
And what did we learn today?
When your in the ocean that's every creature that is in there is their domain and everything is fair game..... I mean everyone knows that.
They are lucky we don’t wanna subject the. To the same level of violence land creatures deal with. Or there would be water AR’s
fair game
ar
@@stevenwood4water lol
@@mmaboxingclips2407 XD
Did it try to bite dudes head?
It 100 percent was going for the save tank as they are attracted to metal objects
If it went for the head he would not have a head anymore, this guy is lucky the shark attacks his tank
her face skin too thick
gee, that looks super fun!
let go try some
0:17 The thing to remember in this situation is "Don't lose your head".
and keep it on your body
Tiger UPPERCUT

@@stevenwood4water that big ass tiger that wanted to eat the diver.
Hey, what a great idea! Let's do that!
Seriously, it's really really cool. Just don't wear orange fins! Beqa Lagoon Resort staff are great - very friendly and awesome guides. You'll love it! Just don't be this guy.
@@davesherry5384 I'll be the guy in the boat... fishing.
Go for it!
The description had me wheezing for a good ten mins.
He said, "Happen so fast, shark just come and bite on my head, then you know"😭
