Many divers dream about having a close encounter with a tiger shark.
Trust me⌠be careful what you wish for. đ
Because a shark handler will make sure that dream becomes a reality.
These poor freedivers basically got close enough to kiss this juvenile tiger shark. I donât know if thatâs what they had in mind when they booked the dive, but⌠congratulations? đ
This is actually one of the reasons I prefer scuba diving with sharks. I like being underwater where I can see whatâs happening around me instead of being at the surface, constantly looking down and wondering where the shark went.
And with tiger sharks, you definitely want to be paying attention.
Theyâre incredibly curious animals, and when food is involved, they can come very close to divers.
So yes, getting a tiger shark to swim right past your face looks amazing on cameraâŚ
But personally, Iâll take a little more personal space. đ
Would you be comfortable with a tiger shark getting THIS close to your face?
