I always come back to this video because it is probably the most intense encounter someone can experience. When that shark emerges from the darkness and is coming fast and straight to the guy... that has to be the most terryfing moment this guy has experienced. It terrifies me and I am here behind my screen. Can't imagine being there.

[@wallacekgames2266]

While this is terrifying if you watch the shark it’s behavior could at worst be described as curious. There’s no aggression because whites are ambush predators and it had its opportunity and didn’t take it.

[@damiensmit5866]

Sharks have bad Eyesight

[@blakebuttery4409]

I couldn’t imagine what it’s like swimming at the top of the water knowing a great white is underneath you. They attack from below, you’re more vulnerable at the surface, but you also gotta take the risk to get out of the water.

[@zleeven]

have you been to the beach at anytime in your life? if the answer is yes, you have swan in shark infested waters without you noticing. shark, specially great whites tend to stay close to the shore as their main pray is seals and sea lions, which tend to be close the the shore. the reason most people dont notice then is because of how rare shark attacks are, most of the time they are just going to swim pass you, see what you are, then move on with their day. their is a great channel that shows this really called malibu artist, you should check it out. also this does not mean you need to jump in the ocean in shark infected waters, their is still a possibility of an attack, and taking your time and showing the respect this creature deserve should be in your mind.

[@dreammaker9642]

That’d be true if you were a seal… shark attacks in people tend to be violent but it’s just a shove compared to how their prey actually get violated. I remember seeing drone footage of a seal and a shark swimming separated by a rock and having no idea the other was there. Once they met it took the shark about half a second to turn its head, dash forward and grab it… meanwhile when it comes to us they turn a little, come close to investigate and eventually want to take a bite. That is why when diving it’s very rare because you can face it and show you not worth the bother, when you are surfing or swimming at the surface well you have no idea you are playing this game with it.

[@bippitybopitybooty1127]

@@zleeven I remember some coast guard helicopter dude said that if people knew how close sharks actually got to people while they swam in the water, they'd never go swimming in the ocean again.

[@bovverFS]

@@zleeven but most of the Great Whites, filmed by The Malibu Artists are juvenile Great Whites of 2 - 2.5 m length. Their prey aren't seals and sea lions, rather they still hunt fish at this age.

[@elijahcolclough7203]

Everybody an expert on sharks and what they will and won't do until one grabs you and show u otherwise

[@kailashsaravanan8551]

The scariest feeling is knowing no matter how much energy you spend or what gear you have, you are moving in slow motion compared to this predator. Plus, he can come at you from any direction without warning, including above and below. These are the main reasons the ocean is my #1 fear.

[@bigmoose7]

They will attack you in one of two ways, either they will take a bite out of you to taste whether you are edible or they hunt you which means coming from below then swimming up really fast and breaching out of the water with you in their mouth, if the second scenario happens then you will 100 percent die no amount of brain or muscle will save you. The shark in this video isnt hunting these guys.

No it’s definitely NOT how that works,that shark obviously wasn’t hungry and was just a bit curious,had that shark been hungry it would have killed him and not even taken the time to see if he was a fish or not..everyone always says “ oh sharks rarely attack ppl” No,they definitely do and have no problems doing so..they get no joy out of killing because they are animals so they only kill for food and if they think they are in danger..i say again if that shark would have been hungry this video would be a lot more exciting

[@andromedaspellman9268]

KreedX20 do you have proof of a degree or any other knowledge on sharks and how they behave? Because my uncle does, and he’s taught me a lot different than you have just explained.

I take it you go great white swimming on the regular every Tuesday I suppose

[@tinywomanhours]

@@donxponce7729 Sharks technically aren't man eaters as it is much much more likely to be struck by lightning or bitten by a snake than being attacked by a great white, most of the time they will idly go about their business and not bother unless blood is detected or a rapid amount of splashing/movement is detected in which they'll get curious and try to take a bite, not eat you whole but take a quick bite which could be very serious but after a bite most times the shark will figure out the person isn't it's prey/something they normal eat and will leave the person be. Some sharks can be very aggressive though but that is pretty rare and varies by species. The great whites just get a bad rap because most times they aren't the aggressive man eaters they're made out to be.

[@scream2672]

@@tinywomanhours bro stop the nonsense please, the chance of a man being eaten by a shark is low because there are few people who go close enough to encounter a shark. if u get as close to a shark as the person in the video u will probably die

What gets me is when he surfaces for a mere second, looks into the water and he's bloody right there! Which means he followed him up! I would've been the first confirmed human to run on water.

[@theglitch312]

That's not how to apply average chances. Yes, the chance of getting bitten as an average person is very small, *ON AVERAGE!* A person in the shallows has almost no chance of getting bitten at any moment, this guy though... he's a bit more fucked. This is that guy that makes sure somebody that never goes near the sea still has a 1/4m chance of getting bitten.

[@lina9535]

It is kinda scary how great their camouflage is, especially when the water isn't clear. South Africa is a known hot spot for Great Whites, so there is always a chance that you'll see one. It wasn't aggressive, just curious. Granted I don't fault the guy for panicking, but that would make it even more curious, ergo why it followed after him. While I haven't had an encounter with a Great White myself, I'd take one of those over a Bull or Tiger Shark any day of the week. So far only had the pleasure to meet Leopard, Nurse, and Zebra Sharks.

[@thepiousskeleton6046]

[@SilentStorm54722]

aboomination have you heard the story where the guy apparently killed a salt water croc by drowning it? I know it sounds insane, but here's how it basically went.. So he was a tourist on some kind of boat tour in Africa when the boat actually got stranded on a sandbank in the middle of the river, and as it was getting darker this guy volunteered to go and get help because they couldn't free the boat. Well he said that he had an encounter with one and he ended up drowning it by sticking his arm all the way through the Jaws and pushing a flap down which prevented water from entering the lungs..
