Open Post: Hosted By A Great White Shark Busting Into A Diver’s Cage
I never wanted to take scuba diving lessons for two reasons. The first is my prediction that I would never be able to master that very necessary “breathe in through your mouth/out through your nose” maneuver. I’d end up drowning myself while learning to scuba dive (I can’t walk and chew gum either). The second is the video you’re about to watch below from Mashable.
A Great White shark merely wanted some of that tuna bait the guys on the boat put out. I assume it was to draw sharks near for underwater photography. Well, I guess the bait needs to be kept at a distance, cause the shark went for the bait and got into the cage… WITH THE DIVER INSIDE. No thank you to being in an enclosed space underwater using an artificial breathing apparatus alongside a doll-eyed killing machine. That’s not fun.
As often happens because humans are composed of dumb luck, the only one injured was the poor shark. It looks like he’ll be ok, though. I’m sure he swam away nursing his wounds and thinking “stupid ass humans.”
