I'm going diving next month off the coast of Rinco Puerto Rico and desecheo island. Theres been some big Tiger Sharks sightings around there which is pretty common as there was recently an attack on a young woman swimming after dark which was dumb since the sharks are most active at dawn and dusk. She was very lucky to survive a tiger shark attack at dusk! I plan on doing my diving during the day so I can al least come home with all my limbs.
I once tried to swim up on a relatively harmless White tip reef shark (a la 02:50 ) and it turned right around with its mouth open, anxious and unsettled. Snappy, even. I thought: note to self: "do not pursue sharks for any reason"
@stonerboy1988 its called a symbiotic relationship, which is kinds like a "win win" situation, because the fish get to eat the bacteria and scum growing on him, and the shark gets to get a free bath. its really cool! turtles do it too
@kmkfiction2 ..makes you wonder what the shark thinks..maybe he's grateful for the company..but I doubt it ; )..maybe they help him sense danger.."We got yer back, Shark-Boy. " ; )
its just amazing with the effects of shadow and contrast. you can see them one min in a odd area then they appear in another area closer to you. its weird
Indianapolis ring any bells? i would have hated to be on that ship :X this shark is the reason youre fucked if your plane crashes in the middle of an ocean
I've seen close up pictures of white tips; they don't even look scary - they have an almost dumb, absent minded appearance to them. They were not likely to win leading role in the film 'Jaws' since they hardly look the part :D but if I was ever stranded in the middle of the ocean and one of these see me, I'd start writing a will and stick it in a bottle.
When I saw first saw this video footage, it is obviously live footage 'shootingscubasteve' took. He didn't add any music or dialogue to the footage; I think the sound of the SCUBA apparatus made the footage scary. It kind of gives the shark an appearance of power, in it own territory and 'shootingscubasteve' is just a guest there :D
White tips are the most dangerous shark to man next to the tiger shark, and they don't even look it do they? They are a known danger to pilots of downed fighter aircraft at sea.
They are one of species of shark that don't back off even when you punch them on the snout or eyes, most other types of sharks can be scared off by such an action, but whitetips get pissed off and attack.

@stonerboy1988 ..I thought it was because the fish get the left-overs after the shark makes a kill, like hyenas trailing a lion..

You are correct. Pilot fish eat scraps and do not confer a benefit on the Oceanic Whitetip.

That is correct! More than Great White however, these Sharks mainly attacked us in the World War one and two.
