Massive Mako Shark Surprises Diver and Blue Marlin!

While on a Guy Harvey Expedition off Cat Island in the Bahamas, diver and shark expert Jim Abernethy was filming a blue marlin underwater when he got a surprise visit from a 10ft. long, 600 lb. mako. Out of nowhere, the massive shark shoots past Jim like a missile, passing within feet of the unsuspecting diver and turning a quiet, peaceful dive into an explosion of bubbles and shouts!

DUDE sharks wont do anything unless you are on period.

Shit that's why we don't see mermaids anymore.

Bluewater diving is scary.

[ssgtsaddam]

Actually no. Period blood is de-oxygenated, therefore sharks cannot pick up the smell. That's why it's safe for women to dive year round.

Yeah had to catch myself & correct it...I noticed that Youtube doesn't have an 'edit your comments' feature.

Actually it is 'heterocercal' when the two lobes are different sizes. eg a longer top portion of the caudal fin than the bottom portion, although not by much in the mako-- the marlin on the other hand has a symmetrical (homocercal) caudal fin

Those divers are lucky they kept their feet and ultimately their life. You should have a spotter while filming in areas where there could be potential sharks and you are completely unaware of your surroundings. Always use a spotter to watch your back and not the fish on the line.

its just a shark get over it

[AM5TERDAMNED]

you obviously have zero experience with makos

[Nick Mitsialis]

Jeeze...The correct term is : homocercal tail.

[Nick Mitsialis]

Well I don't see a reef anywhere...and it sure ain't skinny like a blue. But the real clincher is that it has a hemicerical tail-IE: top & bottom of the tail are symmetrical. That's a standard 'Isurid' feature.

that shark is not mako..is reef or blue shark..if i am not wrong...dude..
