New way to photograph great whites

[IanK]

The New Zealanders do not need a shark cage to photograph great whites, just a couple of very good friends. I came across this account and photo at

Snap! Dangled by ankles to shoot shark - World - theage.com.au

Hmmm.. I guess they just aren't the vicious man eaters that the media says there are! Surprise!

"Diving expedition..." Well where was his gear, I wonder.

That's awesome. However, regardless of how much I trust my friends, I don't think I would want to dunk in like that.

Hey, Sarita75... why would you be worried? They're billed as man-eaters, not woman-eaters.

Well, perhaps then I would toss all the guys in first so I could get a good shot after the shark had its fill of the men. No, seriously though, I am tender. Any shark would love me. :blinking:

Okay, really - seriously. While I understand that they are not the "(wo)man-eaters" that sharks a billed, I would just keep hearing the "duh-nuh, duh-nuh" JAWS anthem in my head. As a firm believer that some aspects of nature are just too powerful to go flying in the face of, I would stay onboard, revertently at that.

Sara, you have nothing to worry about, professional courtesy and all, you know.

You know the shark would have been blamed if something did happen. It is just not fair.

Awww, you can cry on my shoulder if you need to Sarah.

I'm with you on throwing the guys in first but you have to admit, that was a pretty good one.
