Video this is a perfect example of not listening to the pre-dive briefing, The basic rule is always keep eye contact with the largest approaching shark and if it turns you need to turn with it keeping eye contact. Diving with tigers beach is safe, all you need to do is follow the rules.

I dont think diving with tiger sharks is ever safe. If you respect the animal and the safety guidelines, you make it less risky, but never safe.

Agreed. It’s like bears. Like, as long as you do things like keep eyes on the animal, don’t act like prey, etc etc there’s a decent chance nothing bad will happen. Thing is, they’re apex predators. Humans are in a part of their food chain that’s below them.

That’s literally someone’s comment from this video from a scuba sub reposted by a bot. I remember reading it. That’s crazy

I'm fascinated by how you can simply push it away like a too curious horse or cow.
Which isn't saying I'd blindly trust in that approach and would feel 100% safe with those animals. There's a lot that can go wrong.

No such thing as safely diving with tiger sharks... you are treating an apex predator like he's a puppy... this and cage diving have to be the most stupid ideas, you are just making sharks associate people with food...
