Holy f***ng sh****t!!!!!!
Glad you and your friend are alive and well. Great story.
Out of curiosity, anybody knows what would've been the best option for the father on the boat? What can be done to scare away a great white?

Rest in Peace...
I am so glad you guys are OK, what an amazing experience. I shared the story and the video with a non-diving co-worker and she asked if I would dive there knowing this happened, I said sure, and I would want to dive with those two guys, because the chances they run into a GWS in the same location is probably pretty slim to none.
You aren't giving up diving, are you?

A bit of confusion here. I only passed on the story.
It was not me personally who was involved in this incident. I dont know the people involved, just thought it was a good story to share.
Guess I should have used quotation marks ..

Yeah it was an amazing story, and I'm glad that the two divers survived, but I think the important thing in here is to decide what is the best course of action here? I mean, they all survived so whatever they did worked for them, but if it were you, on the boat, or in the water (either beeing the one with or without the speargun), what would you do?
As a diver would you go down again, stay still, hurry up? (I have the idea that a shark attack is less probable underwater than on the surface).
Is there some kind of expert on shark behaviour that can tell what is best/worst to do?
