Theme: a shark on "Danravene" in Charm
All greetings!
Has just returned from Charm.
During immersings the information has passed, that white - plavnikovaja (white tip) the oceanic shark has bitten Russian "snorkelista" for a hand during immersings on a reef about river "Danraven".
Promised to give video which was done by another "snorelist". (while is not present).
The case has (probably taken place about ten days ago from today's number.
If at whom that is more detailed information - share, pliz!
We have decided to check up and five days ago (from today too) have gone to plunge on Danraven.
The shark and the truth is!!!
About 2.5 meters.
Immersing has been accomplished by group of 6 person + the local guide.
Typical immersing on this wreck from kormy to a nose inside and back to screws outside. As there was a strong current have decided to make drift.
After the river have gone along a reef.
On a direction from kormy to a nose also have left approximately on 100 m. where have emerged.
After that have started to sail on a surface from a reef, that we "would be removed" with a boat. From a boat have thrown a cord and two persons have already risen on a boat.
At this time this shark also has appeared.
Was floating absolutely near to a surface so, that its fin was shown above water.
Impressing extinguishing.
The shark showed aggressive behaviour.
She did not escape from us, and on the contrary on good speed was floating to the diver and turned only in several centimeters.
I could touch her many times (but did not become
)).
At us two desires the first struggled constantly to have a look longer and closer, and the second to jump out on a boat as soon as possible.
After several spark circles, has won the second. There is only a photo.
Unfortunately the diver with the chamber has left on a boat before occurrence of a shark.
Though I also have left on a boat the last, but I admit to me on the present it was terrible.

The attack and the truth was.
The shark has snatched for last (fin), and then while the person was floating to a boat some more time tried to attack.
After suturation on a hand (it seems 7 superficial and a pair internal), by more detailed consideration of damages came to a conclusion that the shark did not bite.
The cut was formed in consequence of that that the attacked person, beating off, a hand has hooked on one of a teeth.
Shooting and the truth is.
Is to Sinai dajv club in Charm, is and in Moscow.
Only to receive her it is not obviously possible yet: (

Theme: an attack of a shark in Charm (Danraven)
As frequently it happens, after my inquiry in club I managed to receive the answer from the participant of this case.
And even three PHOTOS, unfortunately, not the moment of a sting, and already bitten (the reference is lower).
The participant of a case Natalia Pankratov has kindly allowed to publish to me its report about proishestvii in club:
___________________________________________________
Dear Alexander,
So, under the order, us was four courageous which on "Danravene" have decided to not be immersed, and it is a little to swim for a while with a mask and a tube as it is literally for a day before it we have already mastered " given the rivers.
Special pleasure have not tested and have decided to go to be kneaded simply a little.
We were kneaded with all the heart.
The first in water Igor has jumped and "has very actively hammered" lastami (fins) on water,
Behind it Oleg, its wife Natasha and I, your obedient servant - kopusha which and has not sailed from a board of a boat.
When I was already in water, I have heard inhuman squeal and have seen, how Natasha with speed of a torpedo bomber is born to a board and jumps out, as the penguin from water.
She hardly could restore breath after similar ekzersisov. Behind it Oleg.
When to me Igor near to it I have seen a fin going on a turn has swum up, and has heard, as arabs wildly shout - " UP!!! UP!!! ".
I was attacked, to tell the truth, with a stupor as to believe in an event it was impossible. Natasha before shouted from water:
" Under about me the shark has passed!!! I of its reserve lastoj (fin), she am floating to Igor!! "
On what the cheerful laughter of local population and an assurance was distributed, that, say, sharks here well is direct kotjata (little cats) timid.
The shark purposefully attacked Igor.
All over again for lastu (fin), has then seized for a computer on a hand.
It has not become puzzled and has few times bursted her on a back.
She has gone on a turn and attacked already open parts of a body, and particularly a hand.
How we with Igor have got out of water I do not remember, I remember only, that a fin and gills were from me on distance of 20 centimeters.
When Igor has got out of water, we have seen, that its left elbow in blood.
The shark has roamed still any time and has left. Probably, has gone to search for a new victim, the blessing in "Danravene" to eat than profit!
10-15 boats were laid up.
We shouted " Shark Attack ", but all probably thought, that we " under nitrogen ".
The sting was practically up to a bone.
Has quickly arrived rescue a boat, and it have taken away in hospital, of infection of blood were afraid.
All this minirollers and the photo have been photographed Igor's by friends.
CD at us is, it has been shown to arabs in port.
We asked, that have declared on all dajv-centers danger. But by your adventures, anything it has not been made.
You can ask the given record in club AKVANAVT in Moscow.
So, here such here "kotjata" dlinnoperye (white tip little cats), that is oceanic white tip shark.
Yours faithfully,
Natalia Pankratov
