[@matlew1960]

What an amazing experience, not just for you but the divers you were in charge of. For them it was a one time experience to come so close to such a magnificent creature. Don't forget that 99% of the sharks aren't dangerous to humans.

[@muffs55mercury61]

The kicking and thrashing that humans do while swimming is likely sending the shark the wrong message and thus we have bites, some very bad but not intentional. Divers swim peacefully with all the so-called dangerous ones (bull sharks, tiger sharks) all the time. Great Whites are shy and seldom do they swim with divers very close.

@@SeattleRaindrop206 I often think, when people like Inaki do these wondeful, humane gestures "Your legacy will be remarkable. No matter what they do for the rest of their lives, their tombstone could read 'He saved a shark"' I mean, imagine reaching across millions of years of seperation in evolution and positively effecting a being in need and on the verge of dying? It's a life well lived. I've seen a woman who makes it her mission to untangle sharks ( In Austrailia, I believe.) who has performed thousands of plastic removals. Just heroic! It's shameful that we're so capable in so many areas with so much wealth and yet, we're not somehow able to keep our planet and oceans clean. It makes no sense. Why ruin our own backyard and pool? I fear Earth will one day be the dysmorphic scenario of the Pixar film, Wall-E if a coordinated cleanup isn't put into action soon.

[@wordreet]

An excellent video of humanity at it's best! As apex predators, sharks aren't stupid. All predators in the sea are aware of "cleaning", which can happen when they encounter certain other species and act in a certain way. It's possible this shark was showing you guys to it's friend, and somehow indicated that you "cleaned" him/her. We really don't know how they communicate with each other at the moment.
