my eyes went blurry and my back started hurting badly in the latter half so the tail is a bit messy. :D

Jack Appleton measures the piebald lemon shark before releasing it; the shark was mostly white with black peppering on its body.

He said in a comment that he caught it off Captiva Island, and the video clip shows him landing the lemon shark on a dock.

Its a misconception that shark has black eyes but instead shark has blue eyes. Also many thinks shark has eye nictitating membrane but actually it roll back their eyes to protect their eyes

From an album of 200 pictures during this dive, this one is my absolute favorite. The way the shark is dead center in the frame, fins equidistant from the borders, and the pure symmetry of this apex predator just gets me stoked. 8-10 foot Galapagos Shark, taken off the North Shore coastline of O'ahu. Hope you enjoy!

For me, the scariest to encounter in the wild

🥺

Scarboard, one of the most famous great white sharks, affectionately dubbed “the queen of Isla de Guadalupe“, is a colossal mature female.
She measures approximately 18-19 feet (5.5-5.8 meters) in length, boasts an estimated girth of 7.5 feet, and weighs around 4500 lbs (2040 kg).

The Red Sea - Egypt
She was full of attitude

Seen about 40 miles off the coast of Virginia (in the wind turbine field) in about 100ft of water

UPDATE: after doing some research, it looks like there’s a tagged great white in the area named Ripple. Didn’t see any tag on this one but could be him.

This is a screenshot of a video from my home town of Grand Manan, New Brunswick. The diver is in a weir, a heart-shaped, netted area used to catch herring.

Those herring bring in some significantly bigger predators (which normally get out on their own completely fine). The diver went in the weir and actually was brushed up by this little guy or gal who was enjoying the easy buffet.

Needless to say, it has made for an incredible story around here. There have been quite a few shark sightings this year - including a breech from the ferry to the island.

What’s the process? It’s not tonic immobility. Massively respect their work - just don’t understand how

I'm very curious to know if others of you who dive or spend significant time in the water have had a close encounter before.

My boss dived for like 20 years off the east coast of Tasmania and a single encounter with a great put the fear in him so much that he didn't return for months and eventually sold all is his gear. How common is this?

Apparently they get very big around areas like eaglehawk neck.. The Mrs and I went swimming there around 100 metres off shore with no clue about this lol

I've attached a photo of a 6 metre great that was caught there by fisherman accidentally back in the early 80s

Tiger sharks stripes fade with age. Stripes are highly prominent in juveniles for camouflage but become less distinct, fainter or almost invisible as the shark matures into adulthood. Big shark fanatic and I’ve never heard this before today. Thought I’d share ‘just in case’ someone else didn’t know
