I got this in my email this morning. I doubt it's real but a good story none the less. :D

A family were on holiday in Australia when the husband, wife and their 15-year-old son decided to go scuba diving. The husband is in the navy and has had some scuba experience. His son wanted a picture of his mum and dad in all their gear so he got the underwater camera on the go. When it came to taking the picture the dad realised that the son looked like he was panicking as he took the picture and gave the "OK" hand sign to see if he was all right. The son took the picture and swam to the surface and back to the boat as quick as he could, so the mum and dad followed to see if he was OK. When they got back to him he was scrambling onto the boat and was absolutely beside himself. When the parents asked why he said, "There was a shark behind you!" The dad thought he was joking but the skipper of the boat said it was true, but they wouldn't believe him either. When they got back to the hotel they put the picture onto the laptop and this is what they saw.

I've seen it before, I suspect "Photoshop."
 
Do you still believe in the "Tooth Fairy"???

The shark looks so close to the divers that I suspect they would have felt some sort of water movement behind them...maybe even the shark's tail.

I don't buy it.
 
Well, anyway, I think the natural human response to an incident such as this would be that the observer/photographer would point to the critter, not take a bleedin picture.

But as stated, makes for a good story.
