Five-metre great white shark lunges out of the water at a photographer...

s it just me or is there a lot of necromancy going around the forum these days?

Necromania.

If @buddhasummer is doing his stop on a DMSB line would that make him a dangling snack like that camera?

Wish I'd not just seen that.

You'll be F-I-N-E Simon, they just hate photographers
I'd say most divers have been close to a decent sized shark at least once, just not aware of it.

I did a night dive off Tathra wharf (South Coast NSW) where an unfortunate local woman swimming laps was completely eaten in two passes by a GWS not long after.
I'm sure it came in mooching about attracted by our lights, we saw some fleeting movement at the edge of the light field in poor viz... maybe a seal, maybe not?
No repeat night dives...!

I have seen a few, the one I did not see until it 'bumped' me was a Bull shark, no bite just a big bump, as in "bugger off", and we did, Sydney Harbour mid 80s.
Picked on me and left the others alone, not a big shark, but hit me hard.
Bull sharks have 'attitude', they may be puppies in some parts of the world, not here.
Now GWS , biggest I have ever seen was here 1976, at a guess it was >15' , looked at the 2 of us and just slid away as smooth as silk no effort at all.
