As a biologist, I can’t stand stuff like this. You are treating the animal like a monster by getting in a cage, luring it bloody balls of chum, putting the shark on edge in “hunting mode” then proceeding to knocking on the glass provoking that gentle creature and then acting like a victim when they do attack. This does nothing but make people scared of the ocean for no reason and villianising an animal that is ESSENTIAL for healthy ocean ecosystem. Truly unfortunate.

That white shark circled him to investigate and weigh up it’s prey, it then bumped the “cage” to get a feel for it and decided it could get to him, it swam off to get distance and attacked from a blindspot below.If you look at it’s eyes it was never looking at the baitfish and was completely uninterested in them, it wanted the dude and if that “cage” wasn’t there he would be dead.He was also lucky there was rigging in the water and the shark got tangled in it or when he got thrown out and was splashing around like a retard it would of circled back and taken his soul.

For a shark expert am surprised he didn't see it coming. Jaws circled three times around the cage before making his vertical attack. So the lesson here is don't ever underestimate a great white especially one that's 16 feet long. He's lucky he's still alive.

How nice of the shark to test the structural integrity of the box for the diver. Such thoughtful creatures.

[@mnomadvfx]

If this clip is even real then the "box" was no more than basic thick single pane glass - not even up to handling an accidental knock from the boat, let alone a purposeful ramming from a multi ton shark that has the power to lift itself all the way out of the water when hunting. *I very much doubt it is - Discovery has a history of faking or misrepresenting content for entertainment during Shark Week. Also the box was surrounded by fish - however that happened it was clearly designed to draw the shark in and confuse it.

I guess half of the audience if no more agrees with you; plenty of comments here title these "experts" the more apposite name - idiots. The footage is terrifying, though it was pretty predictable. Sharks are fascinating, gorgeous, and useful animals; we should behave more respectfully towards them. I once accidentally swam with them (no great whites, though), and it was one of the most profound experiences in my life. They are fascinating creatures and definitely not mindless attackers.

This scenario seems suspicious to me. The diver questioned whether it was a shark that bumped the cage the third time, no backup plan to rescue the diver in case the cage had to be vacated, and the repeated footage of the shark with a rope in its mouth, yet the "cage" didn't become submerged, allowing the diver to climb out and swim off into the distance. Pardon me but it all seems a bit "fishy"!

[@drmantistobboggangonzodr3961]

I've seen researchers talk about how it is possible that the metal on some shark diving cages may change the sharks behavior and disrupt their senses because of the ampullae of Lorenzini which sharks and rays use to sense the electromagnetic field... but this was designed poorly. The guy was in a position where he was horizontal and looked more like a seal and any strong bump they could easily overturn it. The shark may have been cut by the plastic too. Idiotic design and I would be surprised if the design wasn't purposeful (I mean they designed it to get more interaction from the sharks on purpose and disregarded the diver's safety. Also, after the first two inquisitive bumps they should have reeled him in anyway).

Why? Cos only Dajjal can tell, which one is mother nature. And Dajjal don't believe the sun would shoot lava upon him, just because the truth about 2nd moon cannot reach human or something like what hit Japan Sea before the largest tsunami sweep thru Japan in 2011, that came down from the sun. Compared to jews that dare to block Dajjal comments till the truth about 2nd moon cannot reach human since mother nature aware Dajjal cannot ensure the truth about her baby could reach human since evil human exist everywhere in this world, especially those controlling cyberworld. Jews unaware how huge were mother nature? Just refer to Indonesia earthquake that saw sinkhole swallowing trees and houses or how huge were mother nature mouth, which villages aware, how the sinkhole disappeared the next morning. Jews ask those villagers that survived that so called Indonesia earthquake since those smaller creatures that follow mother nature wherever she go indeed like to hunt human, when they asleep. I'm sure those villagers bumped into them, during that earthquake since they keep stating they chased by something that dragging along those lamp poles. Inshort, Dajjal would pray for Jews insense nothing hiding underneath their bed that bound as creatures. #Dajjal just want to fear Jews? Go ask those villagers since everyone aware lamp poles cannot chase human. Somemore only you believe those expert, what happen to that village were earthquake since human cannot run during earthquake. My advice? You ask those villagers better And Australian should not forget to read book of life that exist in my vk profile as a science book. Cos one of the topic is about Australia.
