Capt. Scotty:
Enjoyed the video. Something someone said in the show in the 1st post came to mind while I was watching the interaction with the tiger shark in your video. To paraphrase, I think someone said something to the effect that tiger sharks aren't as scary looking as some species. The face, that is.
It's an interesting point. I watching videos & read about tiger beach diving cageless and can envision myself doing that.
But I hear about people diving cageless with great whites and my natural gut reaction is 'You idiot!!!' Great whites can get a bit larger, and from what I've read are credited with causing more human deaths, but I don't think the difference in either case is great.
I wonder if there's some logical reason for the difference besides my impression that great whites are a lot scarier looking than tiger sharks?
You guys that dive cageless with tigers; would you do it with great whites?
Richard.
