The rather poor viz. brings up an interesting question. If you're in water like that, and a large great white passes by so you see and identify it, and it leaves your field of vision...now what? Do you...
1.) Hover 5 minutes or so, trying not to think about the Jaws music, then slowly make your way back wherever?
2.) Lay on the bottom awhile, because you heard they're ambush predators and may like to attack from below?
3.) Head directly up to the surface & try to signal the boat to come get you ASAP?
4.) Immediately head back along your route to end the dive?
5.) Proceed with your dive as planned?
Something else?
If inking works for octopi, I say go for it!

The guy is lucky he was wearing a wetsuit, otherwise we would probably have another warhammer maneuver on video.
