This wasn't taken while diving but some of the GoPro imagery was shot underwater from a boat. It deals with an approximate 10 ft., half ton tiger shark going after a 400 lb. loggerhead turtle. This was just west of the marina of Old Bahama Bay, West End, GBI in blue water. The shark may have previously caused some internal injury in the turtle from an impact causing an intestinal blockage to mess up its buoyancy control. Large sharks are quite fond of turtles hence what appears to be a normal predation. It is interesting to observe how the shark goes about it and the responses of the turtle.

Apologies for the second half of the clip involving some quadcopter imagery. The guys were in transit to a watersports meeting when they came across the shark and turtle.
