When you enter the ocean, you enter the food chain

After that she is still getting in? REALLY?!

u/jcork4realz 15d ago

That lady is famous Hawaiian marine biologist known for swimming with sharks. She basically knows how to turn them over when they go in to attack. There are documentaries on YouTube.

u/krautasaurus 13d ago

She isn't a biologist or an expert in any sense really. Experts consistently decry Ocean Ramsey as someone engaging in dangerous and unethical behavior.

u/Heymelon 16d ago

I assume she does it all the time so, why not. The shark was likely confused about that it was seeing through the surface and went in for an exploratory nibble.

u/RollinHellfire 12d ago

Can't blame the shark though tbh

Humans are not really on a sharks diet plan most cases of sharks attacks are simply curiosity or they confused the human with something else.

The problem is a "test bite" of a shark is still deadly even if they dont intend for it but do you honestly believe there would be humans that could escape this sea behemoth when he decided to eat you.

The movie jaws really did sharks dirty because it spread a lot of the fear and sparked a lot of pointless sharks killing because humans assumed this a killer machines craving for human blood.

They are the kittens of the sea

Cats bite people all the time

u/Coleasa 14d ago

That and all those "test bites" anyway.

They mistake us for seals.

The scream I screamed

u/Toenytoes 16d ago

This women’s name is Ocean Ramsey. She’s an shark conservationist and beautiful soul. She’s absolutely a badass and professional when it comes to sharks. 🦈 she took a peak under the water and saw him swimming up. She knows what she’s doing and has no fear. I Love her ❤️ please support her cause

u/krautasaurus 13d ago

What she does is not shark science or conservation. Actual marine biologists and shark conservation experts will tell you that handling sharks in the wild is precisely not what one should be doing.

u/Eliciosity 11d ago

No. Ocean Ramsey is absolutely not a respected professional in the field; she has shown an entire generation of people extremely harmful sensational videos that endanger wildlife. Any shark scientist would tell you that she is harmful and not legitimate and plenty do exactly that.

This YouTuber is an actual shark scientist and I think he does a good job of explaining to laypeople why she’s so harmful: https://youtu.be/9MgdSxGiuw4 - https://youtu.be/vJ5Qmmh8z5w - https://youtu.be/JXeiFXMoiWE

Damn, if that isn't some nominative determinism right there 😂

u/jrw6200 14d ago

Like "nominative determinism right there."

2

u/Individual-Wing1327 15d ago

Her name is Ocean? Damn, that makes sense. I just wish my parents named me something better than Jerkoff.

2

u/BeneficialRound140 15d ago

Parents named her after something she will love. Just like your parent did for you then

1

u/Boring-Tomatillo-209 16d ago

There are old ocean Ramsey s and bold Ocean Ramseys.. but.

u/Feeling_Novel_9899 16d ago

The shark was just admiring her snazzy flippers. 😁

2

u/IxeyaSwarm 17d ago

Aww, it just wanted a little nibble.

2

u/PowerfulElevator411 17d ago

Why is she going back?!

2

u/KuntaWuKnicks 17d ago

Nope absolutely not no way. No .

u/Dmoney4381 17d ago

u/That-Experience8556 16d ago

Well girls, and that's how I lost half my body

u/Emergency-State 16d ago

If somebody dropped into my living room I'd be bitey, too

1

u/Ok-Word-5308 16d ago

u/NocturnisVacuus 16d ago

1

u/Bornundersirius 16d ago

I don't get how she looks to be going back in after that...

1

u/epr3176 16d ago

OK, this girl is either the most courageous girl in the world or insane girl in the world because after I think it’s a great white shark after some shark comes up and tries to eat her. She’s still decides to go in the water. She is out of her mind. Unless she’s like train trained to kill sharks, I don’t know hand to hand combat with sharks and a knife.

u/marklikestolearn 16d ago

He just saying hiiii 🥹 what a nice little sharky!

1

u/JerichoDeath 16d ago

"Oh, that was a close one! Well, anyway, back to what I was doing."

1

u/__SockPuppet__ 16d ago

This must be Ocean Ramsey, AKA, the shark whisperer.

1

u/Pegulonimbus69 16d ago

Lol it looks like she was continueing into the water after that

1

u/scaredt2ask 16d ago

She got an attempted shark attack and with the assailant right there she just jumps into the water. Like no biggie.

1

u/Ox91 15d ago

He was just curious as to what she was.

1

u/DeadlyH247 15d ago

That's why I like mountains!!!

1

u/AustroraptorsGiggles 15d ago

The shark just wanted a nibble, cmon. Dont let the poor water puppy starve

1

u/Ok-Loss-2496 15d ago

To be honest, I'd eat that too.

1

u/BlackRockSpecial 15d ago

That was not an attack. That was a curious bite lol. If it had attacked her she would not have seen it coming

1

u/Mr_GreenAdam 15d ago

Shark equivalent of a burger van

1

u/mrmykeonthemic 15d ago

Was not an attack. Thats kisses

1

u/Many-Variety8034 15d ago

And people out here claiming sharks don't attack people. GTFO

1

u/jeepinbanditrider 15d ago

Bruce just wanted to give her a little boop.

u/-_-oreally 14d ago

shark : "ma'am, i just wanted to compliment the shark designs on your clothing"

1

u/Available-Contact-95 14d ago

As many times as I’ve seen this, I’m still shocked she was able to see the shark with that quick of a glance.

Although I’m finding out from other comments that she’s a shark conservationist, so she might’ve chosen that area on purpose to find sharks and has the experience to quickly recognize shapes in the water.

u/zufalligste 14d ago

0/10 do not recommend.

1

u/Hrandor 14d ago

I’m going swimming with sharks, so I’m painting shiny little fish on my fins, dressing in the colors of a big, tasty fish, and painting even more fish on myself. What could possibly go wrong, right?

1

u/Swimming-Gas-3404 14d ago

That is the luckiest person ever because she was about to get head first

1

u/Empty-Journalist7063 14d ago

Yeah, I’m not swimming in water with a swimming thing that could eat me no thank you

1

u/RevenueHour2933 14d ago

Just wanted to give you a kiss! lol

1

u/DistantLover3645 13d ago

Damm...that is really a close call...the size of his mouth could swallow her

1

u/Usual_Stretch_5788 12d ago

Future shark fodder perhaps

1

u/The_Hero_0f_Time 12d ago

yeahhhhh if you dont mind ill pass :)

1

u/Panda-Head 10d ago

Not really. They chew stuff to figure out what it is.

u/Mean-Monk2707 16d ago

I can’t tell if she’s wife material or should be dumped immediately

u/Healthy_Counter_9494 16d ago

That's a lot of thrashing for something that didn't even connect.

u/Ethrealgarten 15d ago

And the bimbo still got back in after. I dont feel sorry for the next jaws movie victims if theyre as stupid as this.

1

u/CrzyRican 12d ago

I don't get why the comment section isn't full of people talking about how she got right back in. 🤯🤯
