Very unnerving... Good thing you had a level headed buddy! :D Im planning on being down there at the end of the month. Very cute video. Vis looks great, what was the water temp?
Thanks for the laugh bkyaffe! Keep it real.
 
Thanks Rob. Wasn't my dive or my video. I just got the link in my email from a friend of a friend of a friend...
 
The horn shark is the ONLY species of shark I've encountered that has "attacked" and bitten me. I was repositioning an 18" one for a better camera angler when it became enraged, swam up to my chest and started biting (gumming?) me on my wetsuit. I laughed so hard the regulator fell out of my mouth! Not a mark left on the wetsuit... their teeth are like molars for crushing hard-shelled prey. Garibaldi leave a much better bite when you approach their nests too closely!
