That's pretty awesome

Well....his friend coulda just got on the boat, then he coulda got on the boat. I seriously doubt the shark stuck around that whole time. Most sharks when they are attacked or counter-attack will veer off.

Plus, I'm assuming he returned to the surface at LEAST once for air. Why didn't his moronic friend just get on the boat, thus eliminating the danger??

Still...for a chance to wrastle a tiget shark...

who else would have taken the pictures?

Sure seems a waste to me. The whole thing appears to have been staged. Very convenient that someone was there to take the pictures while this "man eater" attacked. I have never seen a shark once it was hit with a shaft keep coming back for more. I have alot of respect for free divers, but this I am not sure.

More like idiots and legends in their own minds.

A Canadian sitting on the sideline for 11 1/2 months out of the diving year and wants to decide when another man felt deathly fear.

He was protecting his friend/camerman while he was filming. The shark cut him off from the boat thus eliminating his chance to get out of the water. Instead of just spearing it and leaving, he did the humane thing and finished off the job.

Nothing like sitting back and passing judgement on others.......

So instead of his friend trying to swim around the shark while his buddy was being attacked, he swam around and took pictures, FOR TWO HOURS . . .

thats a great buddy . . .
