I'd rather be a gator wrangler than do abalone diving in South Australia. My heart would not be able to cope if I met a GW.

[@DanielAtHome1]

OF COURSE IT STOPS AT THE BEST PART

[@enjoy8568]

What about the camera man that was in the water

[@thelastdefenderofcamelot5623]

the sandy beach is more comfortable to swim around but when you swim around the kelp forest and rocky shores it is so scary.

[@heatherhillman9605]

Chumming before those abalone divers go in is insanity.

[@Castathon]

Cant of been that bad. Old mate didn't even use the cage

[@merino8472]

have you guys ever tried underwater speakers with Orca sounds?

[@hanoitripper1809]

Electrical speakers Attracts sharks

[@schmingusss]

or how about replica orca.

[@zackzittel7683]

How about becoming an orca?

[@poppetrurazvan3900]

Hello. Buing a SPOC self propelled cage would be a great idea. Take care, my very best regards!

[@jodyroper]

I made allot of money doing this but now I'm missing one arm thanks to share bite. Now I drive the boat and watch from above.

[@moreb33r1]

jodyroper hahaa jokes

[@travels129]

Not worth it

[@theprinceoftides6836]

How much can U really make in a year doing this?,,

[@jodyroper]

@@theprinceoftides6836 I made around $120,000 a year but now that I just have one arm I'd be making about $60,000 a year.

no thanks I like my legs and arm and my life

Yeah, sod that.

[@idleonlooker1078]

Diving for abalone near a seal colony is, inevitably, only asking for trouble! NO abalone is worth that sort of risk!

[@Buildinc1]

Come to Cape Town ! These boys dive off Gaans Bay and seal island , day and night, no cages, no protection or lookouts , just a torch for night time and a knife for day time. Big brass balls doesn’t even begin to describe them.

[@christianburk2432]

@@Buildinc1 Jesus Christ on a cross they dive at night with just a torch??? That’s either brass balls or stupidity. You couldn’t pay me enough to dive at night where great whites are known to be. I couldn’t imagine diving at night or in the day for that matter and then a great white is right next to you.

[@Buildinc1]

@@christianburk2432 lol no amount of money would get me there even during day time never mind at night.

[@simonev97]

@@Buildinc1 those areas are full of great white. They are crazy, also the night. A risk like that for how much?

[@Buildinc1]

@@simonev97 I guess some guys need more than a rollercoaster to get their thrills 🤔

[@nypd5747]

The worst part about these videos for me is when they are climbing up the ladder, I'm like quicker ffs

[@luisunkown1867]

jeff lmao. That is me too!! Hate that feeling.

[@mrpreparedallthetime1099]

The worst part for me is when they only make the video 8 mins long. Why not an hr?

[@AssurPete]

Question. Isn't it illegal to use diving gear to get them? aren't you allowed 3 per person?

[@MichaelScherer77]

They acting like people are the sharks favorite food. 😂

[@realMaverickBuckley]

They don't have a favourite food. They need calories. If youre an option, they'll take it. They don't feel love or kinship , equally they don't feel hate or wrath. They need calorific kntake for the least amount of calory expenditure.

[@LostAnFound]

Does bismuth work on them?

[@yogi9631]

They are diving into the sharks 🦈 own backyard n feeding ground. It’s about risk management: A third person in the water acting as a spotter would reduce much danger but that would add to the cost of the trip.

[@vibingventures8901]

If you’re scared of sharks then change the music 😂

[@stanlyqbrick1621]

I have been on that shark boat but i didn't see a shark. I remember the owner of the boat saying that when the seals are playing about the boat there is no shark but once they disappear there is one coming.

[@matty6848]

Yes I’ve heard the same. The Seals have far better senses than us, especially smell and underwater eyesight so they see them coming way before us. When the Seals go, you know it’s time to get out of the water.

[@bidlymovies987]

Lets see more abalone, less sharks.

[@rottweilerfun9520]

They shouldn't be chumming where abalone divers work. They're going to get someone killed.

[@matty6848]

Agreed. By chumming the water their putting the divers lives at risk. Surely there should be some law not too chum when there’s divers in the water, especially when it’s their living? These guys are risking life and limb too make money and for many it’s passed down generations from their fathers so for many it’s all they know. Then these stupid tourist boats turn up and turn the Sea red, turning the Sharks into a zombie feeding frenzy. Complete idiots. Personally they should give the divers full priority then when their finished then the chumming boats can go out.

[@ThorsMjollnir0341]

This is actually a case of abalone divers working where cage divers work.

[@KylieJonkman]

Sharks are the guardians of the abalones, just leave both alone and stop being such greedy humans.

[@4133EWvianen]

Nice chick

[@schmingusss]

do you think the uncle gets to bang her if he brings back a bag full of abalone ?

[@matty6848]

No thanks, think I’ll stick too driving my road train. No Great Whites in the outback and I hate swimming in the Sea anyhow. Even when I’m just in the shallows I mean like 2 foot of water I don’t feel safe. Especially the poor guy who was killed recently by a Great white, he was literally 50 meters from the beach and rocks. Stick to a pool, it’s safer😂

[@grey7513]

"as few divers ever make it to the Neptune's" hahaha BS, plenty of Abalone divers go there, its very well known.
