Ah.......maybe the shark just wasn't hungry at the time of filming?? Anyone/thing will eat just about anything if their hungry enough??

this is one of the things I have always wanted to do and people though I was crazy.

I notice that they appear to be carrying "bang sticks"..but I still think it is foolhardy. Gorgeous shark, by the way.

I dunnooo. Couple of those pictures looked like the shark was thinking "Turn the camera off, I'm hungry."

Great Whites are ambush hunters. They stay far beneath the surface, the dark grey on their backs keeping them hidden in the depths, looking for shadows on the surface against the sun that look like food. Seals, dolphins, tuna, penguins, etc... It's why surfers are often mistaken for seals and accidentally attacked. Then the Great White rushes to the surface and hits their targets like a Mack Truck, teeth first. The goal is to cause massive bleeding and then wait for the prey to weaken and die. That way they can eat the animal without the danger of it fighting back and injuring them in return. What we have learned is that Great Whites don't generally want to engage anything in the ocean that already knows it's coming. Making eye contact with a Great White, being in a position to make sure they don't assume you're their favorite meal, and letting it know you are aware of them makes swimming with them much less dangerous than previously thought.

only an idiot would think they are not dangerous...too many get attacked and did nothing to them to cause it....they are predators and not some non dangerous pet....sharks, gators, snakes, etc are not pets nor are they docile to humans, etc.....
