Not for me!!
No way I would be in there without a cage. There is no guarantee that the next shark you hop in the water with is the same "tame" one you were with before. One could find himself turning to shark poo in no time flat!!

Awesome
would love to do a cage dive or even better the perspex tube. It would scare the preverbial out of me but would be mindblowing.
The seal footage is epic, the last one is a fake seal. They troll a rubber cutout of a seal behind the boat to get the footage

i would do that in a heartbeat
under the right circumstances.These guys have dived with hundreds of sharks and have honed their skills at picking which ones are better than others.More people died in bali in the last year from rabid dog bites than died from shark attack in the world in the last 20 years.Now in saying that i would not put myself or my loved ones in the water around cottesloe and down to rocko at this time of the year if you paid me.All about the calculated risk.i am told most GWSharks have their own personalities and the guys will dive with one for an hour then if one with a bad attitude crashes the party they are out.The big thing out of that video is the end HUMANS ARE FAR WORSE THAN SHARKS.You dont see a shark beating down on old folks or raping small children do you.
So tell me have you got your info from years on the water or hours on the internet?

Yes, but the shark cages
Yes, but the shark cages already prove they can't open security mesh.

The sharks cant but the humans can
one bad apple is all it takes.I am sure i will see you in the water next weekend
If you bring your shark shield stay well away from me all it seems to do is attract them.

mako clip
all these blokes imo must have nothing at all between their ears, and bet the poor shark would be destroyed if one of them came to grief, when sharks are around (that you know of insight) best bet is to stay the dry land creature we are.
