SHIT!! Thats full on. You'd want to see it coming so your prepared. A few attacks in australia the survivers said they never saw the shark coming and just felt like they had been hit by a truck. One bloke had no idea what happened and thought he was in a cave or rock til he realised he was inside a GWS mouth. Only thing that stopped him being torn in half was the lead vest used by abalone divers. This bloke obviously knows what he is doing being that comfortable with the sharks.
Hey, take it easy, not doing spearfishing, the gun is only for moving it further away, or you want loaded, I personally know this man is Andre Hartman, a master of studying sharks and thus leads to limited experience. It is the first man to swim with these wonderful beings cage. It hase been doing for over 10 years. At risk is the danger of course, but not that of the overnight jump in the water with a gun in his hand thinking of doing this ... although his passion are the snakes...
Wrong, I have watched that very video, even have it featured on my channel.... and the video is entitled "Sharkman" (Discovery Channel, I believe) featuring Mike Rutzen ... yes, I am aware Hartman, and have seen his videos too.
You touch/caress the nose of shark (where all the sensors are), and they go into a state of immobility (state of tonic), especially if you can turn them over.
Remember you only have to protect the small water space infront and around you.. Sharks don't have arms (TG), dodge the jaws, and poke'm in the eye, if they are aggro, else punch the nose!!!
Cartilagenous fishes and a couple others (like sturgeon) have ampullae of Lorenzini which are electrical receptors on their head. When you touch them there, it's hypothesized that you create a kind of "short circuit" which puts them in a momentary trance. I think the first who described it (publicly anyway) were in Vanatu (UNESCO maybe, but I can't remember) and it is therefore called by some "The Vanatu trance".
Actually there are not one singel recorded event where a human being has been eaten alive by a shark! The people that shows up on the shark kill lists have usually been bit by a shark, confusing the human for a seal or something, and then blead to death on the beach. Did you know that more people die of having a Soda machine fall over them, than there are people killed by sharks?! You should all see the documentary "Shark Water", it really makes one think!
Maybe before you post something on the internet you should spend 5 minutes and actually do a google search. Start with "U.S.S. Indianapolis." Tell the survivors that they just mistook the people for seals.
If you really did your research you'd know that the sharks mainly took the dead or the guys who were just about dead. Those that reacted after being bumped by a shark were normally left alone. Sharks like an easy meal.
Yes it is real. His name is Andre Hartman and he is a South African. Search his name if you are interested in more videos with him. I know of only 2 other people besides Andre who do this kind of stuff but i cant remember their names
Awesome footage!! Loved the editing and music, it added to the incredibly uneasy feeling that you must feel when in the water with one of these beast!!
Good thing that shark came in nice and slow. With him being in shark alley it would be pretty hard to defend against those 30ish mph charges from the depths White Sharks do there.
The white sharks dont do those 30mph attackers in shark ally. The water is too shallow there. The footage of those attacks is off seal island which is in false bay. The water is hellish deep just off seal island which is how they get their speed up. That is why andre freedives with whites in the shallows of shark alley.
The footage is from "Sharkman" (Discovery Channel production).... you are like way out in left field... put your drug pipe down and get some fresh air.
andre hartman has got the most balls in the world, and if you are freediving from shore how are you suppose to get the great white to go away so you can swim in?
A shark is like a friend. You never enter his place without asking and you never try to hurt him. Your friend is just as likely to hurt you as a shark.
The people that voted thumbs down didn't get to 1:59. I was bored til then too, but holy crap!!! I've hunted with reef sharks, but this is crazy!
