At least the shark was courteous enough to take a few pictures.

There was some discussion about this shark on another thread. Seems he not only has a name, but a reputation as being a rather naughty shark.
One has to wonder what type of conditioning these sharks are getting. If this was a dolphin we'd think it was cute. Maybe Nacho just thinks he is being cute! After all dolphins always looks so happy, large sharks always look scary, and pissed off (maybe with the exception of Nurse sharks). I'm not so sure that Nacho is not just having a good time with the strange bubble blowing things in his habitat.
The fact that the camera was not completely crushed is a real telling point. This shark is Playing!!! Ain't that scary

from the text below the pic...
He grabbed it and took off, finally dropping it several hundred yards
away (out of sight). Jim Abernathy (divemaster) swam after Nacho and finally
retrieved the camera . . .

You know you're probably right.
With the amount of force that a sharks jaw can exert (which I believe is easily in excess of 1000 psi) it was almost certainly just 'mouthing' it

Trip to the Bahamas on a liveaboard - $1000.
Underwater photography equipment - $3000
Having a shark take a bite of your camera and swim away with it?
Priceless

Maybe the DM has Nacho trained too take the cameras and then swim away and drop them so that the DM can swim after him to retreive the camera and get a nice big tip from the owner.
Awesome pic!!!!
