in WTF
This female diver nearly descends straight into the gaping jaws of a massive shark.

thats a clear signal to just take the day off from diving

It’s like wet Russian roulette. Hard pass.
U
Which sucks because I usually like a wet Russian roulette.
S
Please tell me thats a cocktail
U
We’ll make it one.
T
5 shots of water and one shot of everclear on a lazy Susan.

“You know what I just remembered I had a sandwich earlier so Ima go in a bit later”

I think after experiencing this I seek out some new interests.
U
On that note, here’s a fun fact: you know those reinforced cages that they study sharks in? Yeah, the guy who invented those got bitten nearly in half by a great white, decided to respond to this by engaging it in a fistfight, somehow won, floated back to the surface, inexplicably managed to get sewn back together before he bled to death, and then decided “damn, you know what I should do? Invent a way to get closer to sharks.”
F
The way this comment is written, I’m picturing a guy whose lower body is dangling from his torso by like a thread, then he gets sewn back together, then bleeds to death, then wakes back up and invents the cage.

This Jesus origin story remake is wild

Well, seems an unfair fight since sharks don’t have fists /s
A
he should have armed himself if he’s going to decorate his teeth with my innards.
S
I mean, what did he really invent? Cage technology has existed for a long time.
J
We weren’t quite in-tune with Atlantean cage technology at this time. The thought of an underwater cage was crazy and outlandish.
F
But this cage is underwater
H
Keep going …

The NPR show Radiolab did a whole episode about great whites and interviewed that guy. It was fascinating. You can listen [here](http://www.wnycstudios.org/story/the-cage/)
G
I mean, what are the odds of it happening twice on one day?
F
If you don’t wait a couple minutes before trying again, I say pretty high odds.
S
> day today was shark day
P
Yeah I’m gonna grab a beer, take me back to shore.
T
> thats a clear signal to just take ~~the day off from diving~~ NEVER EVER DIVE AGAIN!!

Pleae
P
Damn, what kind of human is born fully grown in a scuba suit?
T
Shark was like: “Yo beware there are a lot of sharks that will bite you like this. Have a good dive ma’am.”
G
“Humans are friends, not food.”
S
If not food, why in floating Snackle Box?
C
It didn’t even use it’s teeth.

He was waiting for the meal 😭

A succulent, human meal?

Get your fins off my gills!!
I
I see you know your Judo whale
C
And you, Shark, are you waiting to receive my limp gills?
T
Username checks out
G
And you sir? Are you here to receive my limp mackerel?
B
Kanye?!
A
> Get your fins off my ~~gills~~ claspers (what sharks have instead of penises, and yes males have two)
N
thats possibly my favorite meme. and that you got to perfectly time it right here, makes me just a little bit envious
Q
Not a shark biologist but from what I remember this is basically the shark equivalent of a dog putting it’s nose right up to something to get a good sniff. It’s basically trying to figure out what she is. That isn’t to say it isn’t dangerous, if it did get a bite in she’d probably need first aid to prevent bleeding and infection but it would not be trying to kill her and would not use the full force of it’s jaw muscles.
T
Once she’s underwater she’s probably safer. Sharks almost never attack scuba divers, I assume because it’s easy to tell they’re not shark prey with a proper look at them. Even when sharks do attack divers it’s usually in murky water or the sharks were being baited with blood in the water.
U
It doesn’t really matter when that invsitigation is fatal.
C
Are you sure you’re not a shark biologist?
S
trained to come up to boats cause they are probably chumming the waters.
