You’ve surprised Jessica, that was pretty amplified by the microphone in the camera. It’s not really that loud in the water.

[@pascalcastellazzi4136]

I think that 'how to behave with sharks' is like a taboo in diving. No one wants to speak about it in clubs here in Adelaide. But it is one of the possible danger occurring while diving, so we should speak about it. I think that you guys did great. Stayed low, near a hole/crack in the rocks, until being out of air or close. I'w like to believe I would have done the same. well done.

[@skycloud4802]

It's good strategy. It minimizes the chance of sharks coming in from below or behind, and gives you a bit more of a window to tackle it head on - no matter how futile. I get the impression that sharks tend to like encircling because it gives them a sneaky bite in from behind or below unawares. A head on challenge against prey could end up with the sharks eyes gouged out or a jab to the gills. It's better than nothing.

[@pascalcastellazzi4136]

That shark is testing how perceptive his possible lunch is.....goes JUST beyond percetible visual range for the diver while circling......then boom comes straight in for a closer look out of the murk....it sees that the diver is paying close attention, and tries to do the old "nothing to see here" and pretend to not be looking while going away like it doesnt notice the diver only to return to circling and then going out beyond visual range and coming straight in for another closer look and test.....smart fkng fish

They are sneaky animals that's for sure. Was probably looking for an angle to catch a diver unaware, so that the shark could take a curious bite out of them without risk of it's eyes or gills being prodded or scratched.

GW visual acuity is similar to ours, however it can zero onto your heartbeat even when it can't see you, even from hundreds of metres away. That's why it plays hide and seek at the edge of visibility, to come in and check which way you are facing and whether it can launch an attack from below and from behind. Our heartbeat sounds like a drum to them, similar to a sea lion or seal. Even if you can't see them, they can still 'see' you audibly.
