Free Swimming with a Great White.

[RockyHeap]

As a Diver, I found this very moving.


I've dove numerous shark feeds, petted several 8-10 foot sharks, biggest encounter was a 12-13 bull shark.


swimming with hammerheads is def on my bucket list.



The Great White, would totally have to have my respect and attention, I'll admit that.


I've only had 1 or 2 spooky sharks, hey, maybe they were having a rough day after a late night at their local Sushi Bar....




Great GoPro Video Work right here!

I love the interaction in the video....If I was to try this myself, it would still have me feeling like I was a Hamburger that was trying to make friends with a 2000 pound Junkfood Addict

I wonder if McDonalds or Burger King would like their Logo on the Freediver

p.s.
I fully support baited Shark dives.....and what they are accomplishing to educate the masses enough to prevent Shark finning, etc.....
Bulls, tigers and hammers we have lots of human interaction with( tens of thousands of easy and safe interactions) ...lots of data indicating safety.....
The GWS's ??? I think I would let a few other freedivers ( like a hundred or so), find out "if" they are "people" or "hamburgers" before I try it

I've had great whites swim past while SCUBA diving. Of course most of the time I didn't know it unless my buddy pointed it out. Despite an increasing amount of bioprene, I'm still not in the BMI level that would cause them to switch from sea lions and harbor seals to me apparently.

What they don't show you in that video is that they fed the seal to that GW before she entered the water
