(comments of all views are allowed but curse words are filtered and the comment deleted, so if you want your comment shown, no foul words). The crew knew someone was in the cage, it's the passengers who were on the second deck asking because they weren't paying attention prior, please read description below. The shark was fine and the boat operators keep shark poachers away thus saving countless great whites from shark fin soup. I agree, the cages could use better engineering.
As seen on Shark Week!

This became one of the biggest viral videos of 2016.
This is not our usual kids content and Gabe and Garrett did not go on this trip, this video is from my trip to Guadalupe Island (I'm their dad).
On a recent great white shark cage diving trip we experienced a very rare horrifying shark encounter event, a shark breaching the side of the cage. What might appear to be an aggressive great white shark trying to attack the cage, this is not the case. These awesome sharks are biting at large chunks of tuna tied to a rope. When a great white shark lunges and bites something, it is temporarily blinded. They also cannot swim backwards. So this shark lunged at the bait, accidentally hit the side of the cage, was most likely confused and not able to swim backwards, it thrust forward and broke the metal rail of the cage. There was a single diver inside the cage. He ended up outside the bottom of the cage, looking down on two great white sharks. The diver is a very experienced dive instructor, remained calm, and when the shark thrashed back outside the cage, the diver calmly swam back up and climbed out completely uninjured. The boat crew did an outstanding job, lifting the top of the cage, analyzing the frenzied situation, and the shark was out after a few long seconds. Everyone on the boat returned to the cages the next day, realizing this was a very rare event. The boat owner, captain, and crew are to be commended for making what could've been a tragic event into a happy ending. I'm sure God and luck had a bit to do with it too!
I want to return next year for another great white shark adventure!
FYI, being a kids channel, bad language in the comments gets caught in the filter.
Update based on comments:
1. Crew knows there's a diver in the cage, it's passengers asking if anyone is in there.
2. Shark had very minor injury and is confirmed okay.
3. These tour operators work with the gov't, non-profit agencies, sanctuaries, marine biologists for the good of the sharks.
4. Cage design and bait techniques are being reviewed and changes made if necessary to ensure safety for sharks and divers.
5. 'Leave the sharks alone' got them on the endangered species list because poachers won't leave them alone.
6. No video footage from diver.
7. If you want your post read, don't cuss because it will be auto-filtered.

0:18 "oh this is serious, better take my cap off"
ArtMorte Lmaooo
LOL oh man
he was thinking about trying to jump in to help, but he changed his mind
val johnson youre right
The same standard in games, when you took the cap off, or turn it to the other side (like Stallone in 'Over The Top') :-)
I love how the staff was saying "are you hurt?" when in reality they mean PLEASE DON'T SUE US
I'm sure they signed a waiver.
it says in the comment that the man diving was an instructor.
I imagine someone will sue the inventor of the cage at the least
but the shark was hurt
I don't think they were worried about a lawsuit so much as just glad he wasn't dead.
Am I the only one actually happy that the guy is alive? Everybody is worried about the shark, but come on, this is not going to be the next Harambe. Sure, the shark was injured, but I'm sure it's still alive. Please, for one, out yourself in the guys shoes. He almost effing died, have some respect.
The shark didn't even get injured, the blood was from the tuna that they soaked it in. Sharks are attracted to blood, hence them soaking it in blood. And also, I agree with you, I'm not trying not to hate. Hope that helped. :)
ForTheLoveOfGabbie shame really, he could've ended up on bestgore
are you kidding? animals typically die of injuries.. the blood did not look like it will stop any time soon... the guy meanwhile was "meddling in affairs that ought not to be meddled with"
Agreed. Plus, the shark wasn't even injured. The blood was from blood soaked tuna, used as a lure, filtering through it's gills.
***** How can you know for sure the shark was not injured? Wait, you cant...
What is amazing to me, is that they still make the opening in the cage big enough for a shark that size or even half that size to be able to get into the cage. It is harmful to the shark and no one needs to that close to danger to get an adrenaline boost. If that is what you want get out of the cage and give the shark a chance ti see YOU up close.
I always wondered why they do that!
For real. I never understood the big openings
No that’s stupid logic. If you want to be in a safety cage, to see a shark, that’s totally fine. And the idea of it being harmful to the shark is dumb too. I’m thinking about the humans there. But I’m also not a self loathing person. Now I do agree with you though on the cage size holes. Super stupid. Never understood that either.
@@LadellTurner It so that a human can get out if something does get in and also so they can get out if the cage were to fall all the way to the bottom of the ocean
I hope the cage is ok.
-luke cage
HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHA
looks broken poor cage
I know that poor cage..lol
bagi365 Dude the cage was in the middle of it all
Long Live The Chief!
I hope all the money from this video went to the shark
Nathan Hardy Yeah send him to school to get a degree and build him a house.
shark lives matter
me to
Next Recovery right
Poop
Shark get in the cage where was one man-diver.
Then shark trying to get out of the cage like scared pussy cat.
WHO IS THAT MAN??? o.O
Tai ger chuck Norris
A Weed my thoughts exactly
Tai ger
Tai ger
coyote Peterson
someone reply please and tell me what you think do you think the shark should be put down because I don't know.I don't no how the man was still alive WOW I houp the shark it ok
My goodness. He could have been shark lunch. He is one lucky guy, remind me never to go into a shark cage ever.
Always remember, never go into a shark cage ever.
💁🏽♂️
I assure you, once the shark found itself confined in the cage, the last thing on it's mind was eating a human. The diver was at far greater risk of being crushed or bludgeoned by the shark thrashing around trying to get free.
Is there someone In the cage??//???/? You have to be kidding.. They had to ask?.. No way.
That is the spectators you can hear asking.
That was a passenger, not the crew. The crew was very aware of what was going on, who was in there and for how long.
You sir, are a delightful idiot.
Im glad to hear that. I thought the same thing when I heard ther person speak is there someone there. I saw the crews worry though. Great video! TY very fun and exciting.
“ahh there’s a human in there”
ahhh my lover in here
Selena Barrera yeah theirs alot of great whites out there 😚😙😙😙😙😙
Sergio Zayasbazan lol took me a minute to get it
Now that shark definitely developed a PTSD and would be needing a lot of therapy sessions.
We are busy worrying whether or not the shark was harmed. I'm more concerned about the cage. Will it live? #cagelivesmatter
Forget the cage, is the water ok?
I always forget about the most abundant resource on earth!!
Legend has it that this shark was trained by Houdini
i always wanted to do that be now im not sure...
Chloe Whitehead ikr
Chloe Whitehead
yea?
yea?
Go if you want these kind of things don't happen to often
Shark: oh no, a human is trapped in there, don't worry, I'll free you little buddy.
The cage is invented in order to keep sharks away
Meanwhile the shark in the cage:
The first thing they asked him was "where you in the cage?"
Shark was just checking if the man was okay being put in a cage like that.
Straya
Lize F at 1:14 there is a Mexican flag
Now u definitely wont see me n a cage
Explains how the Brown Sea came to be named
The fact that the guys are standing on the platform by the water, terrifies me. They do it like nothing. I'm over here about to faint.
水溜りボンドさんから来ました。これやばいやつ。怖い。
水溜りボンドから来た人👋
I’m gonna tell my kids this was a scene from the 2018 film “Crazy Rich Asians”
水溜りボンドから来た人!
6 /feb/23 .Ahora entiendo porque al fin han prohibido hagan esta práctica ( según de estudios), fue muy doloroso ver cómo estaba de herido !
Diving with these adrenaline junkies you're bound to get hurt for sure.
The only redeeming feature was the one guy who opened the upper cage door.
Seems like it's not the first time.
I thought they sais nobody was in the cage. Wow how did he manage to get out alive
I guess that's why they call this a shark cage.
“Was there anybody in there?” Yup.
but was the shark ok? It looked injured
I know he thought he was done! I can hear him praying underwater!
"Nobody's in the cage" not anymore they're not
No sharks were hurt in this video !!
I hope the shark and the diver were both okay 😭♥️
Me too 😢
I hope Harambe wasnt in there
It would have been more interesting if he was.
What you think that ball of meat on the stick was? #harambechum
"there's nobody in the cage"
Yeah, I won't ever be using that company for dives.
"Well, not anymore..."
The one who said "Nobody is in the cage" is probably not the guide nor the boat operator, and they corrected themselves later on with "somebody's in the cage". So.
The crew looked like they knew there was someone inside. The moment they incident happened, they were getting ready to go in and when the shark escaped, they grabbed their goggles but they saw the diver surfacing.
What you heard was one of the passengers, not the crew. The crew knows exactly who is in each cage, and for how long, they monitor the cage divers closely. They can tell you to the second how long they've been down and which air hose goes to which diver.
I mean... The description states pretty explicitly that, for his own safety, the diver exited the cage, and returned to it only after the shark had left. So, there seriously was nobody in the cage when the guy said "There's nobody in the cage." No lies, no mistakes.
Hope the shark is ok.
0.25 Pretty sure I saw blood...
Oliver What? What is my second name? it's either the shark's blood or the tuna.
That shark is dead. It's right pectoral fin was ripped and it had blood gushing from it's gills. All of that thrashing around in the cage would have given the animal other serious injuries.
R.I.P Shark :(
Sad. This kind of thing should be banned, no research going on here whatsoever, just throwing "chum" into the water to attract sharks, and some tuna on a rope to guide the shark near the cage. Also conditions shark to see boats as a food source, potentially causing human deaths.
I know this is nothing compared to the thousands of sharks killed each year for their fins, but still, two wrongs don't make a right.
The blood pouring from the gills is nothing unusual. Bodily fluid pours out when it’s stressed in a confined space. The same thing happens to me when I’m in a cage with a shark.
😂
😂😂
😂
Underrated comment
😂😂😂
Some common misconceptions I'm seeing in the comments:
1. The people asking if there's anyone in the cage are the passengers, not the crew. The cages hold up to four people each, they have it listed on each air hose who is in the cage and exactly how they long they've been in the water. The passengers on the deck come and go and some happened on this scene from above and are asking out loud, please don't confuse that with the crew diligently trying to get the diver out in the safest way possible.
2. There was blood spotted from the sharks gills, this was only noticed on the video afterwards, at the frenzied moment, which happened so quick, they didn't notice and at the time a diver was still in/under the cage, which was their focus. Please don't take this as them not caring about any injuries to the shark. These people absolutely love sharks, a marine biologist was on board, they want to provide awareness of these amazing great white sharks and have people experience them and understand they are to be protected and not feared in the "Jaws" sense. They usually swim around the cages, curiously, and do not attack the divers or cages. The blood could be from thrashing in the metal cage, possibly the tuna, but it was evaluated by a biologist and determined to be a minor wound and the shark was spotted the next day totally fine. Sharks can be very aggressive with each other and fight, and even the large prey they attack is a very physical thing, so they are quite tough and often get scraped and gouged and bloodied and it's just another day for them.
3. It is understandable that some people feel differently, and that's fine and worthy of discussion, but these boat operators love these sharks and their overall mission is to bring awareness and protection to them. Often the best way to make positive changes in awareness and protection is experiencing the subject to be protected. These are amazing creatures, they are awesome to see in person, they will not attack and eat you, they are fearless and curious,, they are at the top of the food chain but humans are not part of that chain. They are listed as an endangered species, so awareness and protection are vital to their survival and experiencing them brings awe and appreciation. This video does not show a shark attack, it shows an extremely rare accident and the shark unintentionally hit the cage, has no capability to reverse, so instead of turning sideways it thrust through the cage. The power shown is incredible. The diver was experienced and although you can't plan for this kind of event, did the right thing, did not panic, and the crew made all the right decisions, opening the top, checking to see if they should attempt to pull the diver by the rope or give the shark a moment to free itself up out of the cage and then evaluate the best way to bring up the diver. They knew who the diver was, that he was there, from the video perspective you couldn't see bottom of the cage but they could, the water was clear, and they helped bring him out safely. Could it have been worse? Of course, horrible accidents happen, flocks of birds get struck in jet airplane engines, but landing safely takes skill, experience, and a certain amount of luck.
4. The cage diving operators, who work with the government and the marine sanctuary there are collectively reviewing and making appropriate changes to cage design and bait techniques. They want this to be as safe as possible for divers and for sharks. The goal is shark awareness and preservation through experience. These people sincerely have the best interest of the sharks in mind and work with non-profit organizations and agencies and sanctuaries to best make this a positive thing for the sharks. The sharks are not "fed". The sharks are there naturally at Guadalupe Island in big numbers in the summer and fall to feed on the seals and elephant seals that congregate there. That is their main prey. The chunks of tuna are tied to a rope to lure them even closer to the cages. The sharks come to the cages out of curiosity regardless, but this assures more frequency as the divers rotate in and out of the cages. The bait is yanked away when the shark goes to bite it because they don't want them just there to find an easy way to get tuna meat. At times they do grab the meat, but not substantially enough to make it any kind of food source.
5. Lots of comments on "just leave the sharks alone". And that's a debatable position to take, no doubt. But the "leaving them alone" strategy has ended up with the great white sharks on the endangered species list. A huge danger to these sharks is illegal culling for their fins. Having several cage dive boats in this area where the sharks are heavily populated keeps out poachers and protects them. The parks and governments don't have the budgets to keep patrol boats there 24/7/365. And the experience the divers get form these operators brings awareness to the sharks and a thrilling adventure. These are all shark lovers. Doing nothing - sharks may disappear. Having operations like this, a strong argument can be made that it's an effective way to protect the species.
6. The diver had a camera with him and took lots of video and photos, but unfortunately not during the 'event', so there's no underwater video of this from his perspective.
7. On a different note, all viewpoints are allowed equally in the comments, if your comment doesn't show up it's because we have a filter for foul language that's pretty strict as our core subscribers are family friendly kids content viewers, and we want parents of young kids, and the kids themselves, to read comments without bad language. There's no deleting of various view points, just the language itself. I see some very good points being made from both sides but some key words keep them from going public, so if you want to make a good point please do so without bad language. Thank you.
thats a lot of text
Gabe and Garrett hi
Gabe and Garrett We get it, you reddit 😘
Hi!
Yes, it's clarification only for those who want to know more of the story, the haters gonna hate on either side regardless, but for those who really want to know more, there it is!
This is probably the most hated video of shark tourist companies. Any time you show a tourist a shark cage and assure them it's safe - this video will come out.
What kind of morons build a cage where a big dangerous fish can just slide through. If one guy didn't have the quick mind to open the cage top the guy in there would have been smashed to death.
hopfully, cuz it could finally stop the cage diving, which is so dangerous for the sharks
On the contrary, these irresponsible companies will promote this video to fool hardy thrill seeking tourist.
With 4k video and many professionally competent scientific organizations who study sharks posting videos on social media why are these magnificent creatures being abused in their matual habitat?
@@patweb1109 and people wonder why sharks attack. Humans if we aren’t killing them for an out dated status symbol for soup we’re teasing them with food for tourists. These animals have survived Millions of years and if we’re not careful these magnificent creatures will be gone forever. I live white sharks , but I wouldn’t go diving near one as I respect our seas
@@pearls4875 Thank you. You’re absolutely right.
Bet that guy's wetsuit got a little wetter on the inside...
Smith Jones maybe the person was on their period. That's with all the blood
Probably the shark got injured itself with all the panicky thrashing within the metal bars
poor shark
why?
cry me a river
How did they not know if there was someone in the cage or not........???
+JoshaHoudt The crew knew, some onlooking passengers weren't sure. You're hearing passengers saying that from the upper deck.
Gabe and Garrett Do you have any footage from the camera that the dude in the cage had?
JoshaHoudt Ikr smh
Eric Douglas he replied above that he was not recording at the time.
cos there was originally no one in the cage . the dude rode in on the shark and it dropped him off.
The poor Water :(
BassBoosted when u try to get likes
Firezzzz i just Feel bad for the water:(
BassBoosted when u try to be funny
chill fire
when you steal someone else's joke
This is just careless. There is no excuse for putting a cage in the water without the "Do Not Enter" sign on it!!!
Best comment in a long, long time!
....bwahahahaha...i can't...i can't....hahahahahahahaha.....best comment ever....hahahaha...
ptrinch Lol! 😂
ptrinch HAHAHA
ptrinch, you mean don't put the bait too close to the cage when your attempting to film a Great White
Is the water okay?
Samy Hadera I don't think so man. Look how the shark beat the crap out of him.
The water? Yeah it seems to be.. phew that was close..Still sparkling blue baby!!!!!!
Of het water goed is???
Het water van de oceaan zal hierdoor wel niet veel veranderd zijn ;)
If the shark allright is .. that is an other question.
It deed bleed.
He is ok, the water around him is a bit brown though. Jokes apart, he did good to stay calm.
is the cage okay
Where is the footage from the guy in the cage??
now thats footage id like to see
Thats the first thing i thought too
he replied above that he was not recording at the time.
The only door is at the top of the cage. It is open for a quick exit. This is a fairlyrics small great white and pushed through the gap.
if the only door is at the top of the cage, how did it get in?
You guys need to start issuing some DCMA takedown notices. This video is blowing up. So many websites are stealing this and re-uploading it on their own servers. Do a google search and start filing copyright complaints. You deserve to make a lot of money from this vid.
Don't let people profit from your material.
This is gonna be 5 mill+ in a day or two.
lol you don't know things work
I think you don't know how the internet works
money !! WTF....
Still they don't knows how the internets work
Where is the divers video??
happens at 0:52
Yeah, he's asking where that video is...
OGMav3rick whoops hahaha
good
OMG ×(
Poor guy. He cut up his gills on the way in. hope he's ok
No, I don't think he did he just had a huge piece of bloody meat in his mouth which came through his gills.
1010Tj1010 Lol
shut up
No he got attacked and eaten by a turtle a couple of hours later, R.I.P the great caged white shark
+Mulinaster Humans are a terrible stain to this planet, you prove that point. Without us it would be a much better place,don't think that somehow nature needs us.
What a story this man will be able to tell.
Yea I bet I went like this: "for the record, cages are super dangerous, I don't advise it. I'm done"
Yeah, I’m an idiot who paid to almost get eaten by a shark . Brilliant.
😱💬ahhhhhhh ahhhhh ahhhh
Nobody is in the cage. What a company
THE SHARK WILL HAVE A STORY TO TELL TOO!!
show us the inside cage footage
Description says the diver slipped out the bottom of the cage and swam back up when the shark left
+Brockers01 Last name :P He still should have looked up and gotten some good footage
+Paul Garcia he was probably thinking more about his own life then some good footage
Fajri Nurdiansyah What friends
NismoFury there wasn't any cuz the diver didn't turn his camera on because he has his bloody priorities right
a few secs in, the shark realized its in a cage with the most dangerous and cruel species on earth and panicked.
Syrales lol sadly true. At least the shark got away relatively unharmed
katnissandpeeta if a shark tries breaking into a cage and harms itself in doing so how is anyone to blame but the shark ?
katnissandpeeta love your name
he didn't try to break in the cage though. it was an accident after it tried to get the tuna.
people get so butthurt over these jokes.................. but it Is the sad truth..... you're more likely to be killed by your SOFA then that GREAT WHITE SHARK
made in china shark cage
Lel XD
Quint: Cage goes in the water, you go in the water. Shark's in the water. Our shark.

So the shark cage served no purpose. Aren't they supposed to keep them OUT.
the guy survived, the cage served its purpose
I'm never buying a shark cage from you, Dubb RS
Still probably safer to be in a cage for a while with a mad shark rather than outside of the cage. Harder for it to maneuver/see in closed quarters like that. You might end up with some bruises but hopefully no bites.
I think the shark took some damage getting in though it seemed to have blood and cuts on its side.
Well the shark got stuck in a tight spot and no doubt started flopping around desperately in confusion. You're not going to be bitten at least
I can't wait to see the video footage from inside the cage!!
That's what I'm waiting on . Freaking awesome experience
Your profile picture is so Klite :) !
Same, we need to see the footage soon!
He wasn't recording at the time, they said so in an earlier comment :(
pity would have been very interesting. Good nobody got hurt
There's no one in the cage, there's no one in the cage........out pops someone from the cage......did the shark just poop a person ??
Hahahaa nice one
LOL
theres no juan in the cage.
No body in the cage :)
+atyscrc you are stupid, wait and see de vídeo complet
Amazing how none of them even knows if there is someone inside. Everybody just conveniently "forgot" all of a sudden.
Legit like wtf. All of them claiming no one was in cage, and then “bloop bloop bloop”.. I genuinely don’t understand how no one knew whether someone was in the cage or not. Never take me on that boat
Indeed, what a bunch of idiots.
So an inside job 🤔
Because humans can fit thru the cage bars. He went under and outside the cage when the shark went in.
Well there's noone in the cage .. now 😬
"'It'll be FUN!" they said! "Totally safe!" they said..."
haha 😂 this made me laugh
Dont worry, the shark cant get in the cage
I mean... that actually looked fun, so...
well, you wanted to be up close and personal to a predator, careful what you wishf or lol
Whiskiz Yo should have made it fish for
Ali Wahab i like my point better, than making a sea pun :p
You're an idiot. Humans are the predators out of these 2 species.
Only commenting because I want nofitcations about this comment
Nyan Kitty
So the shark starts outside of the "cage" at first then ends up coming out of the top of the "cage"? Uhhhhhh best magic trick EVER!
JDM crew top comment 💯
JDM crew Beats pulling a rabbit out of a hat!
he also made a human appear in the cage since the guy says there was no one in the cage, shark exits cage and there is now a human in the cage that is a pretty good magic trick lol
JDM crew 100th like
dragonhatcher12 lol you understood wrong. the shark broke in the cage and then came out of the top. and the passengers who didnt know the guy was in there was there cuz they are only passengers and possible has been lookin at there for a shorter time
Big respect to the man that opened the cage ... he was the only one who knew what the hell was goin on
No disrespect to all who "dive" with a cage!
We're about to have another Harambe situation...

😂😂😂
r.i.p sharkambe :(
***** was that you Harambe?
***** Our lord and saviour has been reborn
that's one hungry cage...good the shark and the man got away....
Paul Mathew omg lol. You are very creative.
Zeva Doggy it's called the ganja magic ;)
+Zeva Doggy Youre right i died of that comment 😂
they're so lucky, hungry cages can be really vicious
my brain hurts after reading that, lol
"Nah man, trust me, it's totally safe in the cage!". - your friends
Hahaha
priceless
this video proves that these types of business ventures are NOT 'non-invasive' and 'neutral' to the sharks' natural habitat, and that their business practices DO essentially impact the marine biology and wildlife with potentially dangerous methods employed solely for profitability ... you can argue all you want ... this exercise wasn't conducted for research purposes and the continuance thereof is overall detrimental to sharks in many other aspects too!!
what would you suggest in replacement. all very well saying dont do something without having a alternative
I don't think the issue is so cut and dry. I think they need to tighten up the rules, and there should be way more pressure not to let the animals get too worked up, and into a frenzy, which is when they get hurt, or they kill each other. But there is way worse stuff going on, how about the fishing, lets put an end to sport fishing sharks for fun, and even worse, do something to save the ecosytems which are being destroyed super fast by drag net fishing, which destroys every living thing on the bottom, the are destroying every square part of the ocean floor, and other types of net commercial or huge line fishing is just killing everything fast. That is really what we need to stop, this is only seeming bad because we get to see it, the worse stuff is happening without anyone filming it with a go pro. This lets people get to see the animals, and that always helps conservation. Stopping this will mean people will ignore the fact that they are getting killed by fishing, etc. Even all the cetaceans are being killed now because of sonar oil and gas exploration. They are setting off sonar explosions that make the animals beach themselves to escape it. Those mf from the fossil fuel industry are basically killing all the remaining whales because of this. Watch Sonic Sea, and how they find these dolphins,whales, etc beached with their inside of their eardrums melted, and also the part of their brain that is attached is also liquefied from these explosions that are being set off every few seconds over the length of time of weeks, and systematically sweeping the entire ocean as well. Basically it would be like having the stereo so loud your ears are bleeding, and your brain is liquefying and you cannot escape, so the whales then beach themselves to commit suicide. That is where we need outrage. Yes some sharks are hurt here, but that that is ok if it means we put people in touch with the oceans in a real and emotional way... I don't like seeing the sharks hurt either, but they just need to get better at not letting them get frenzied, and being more careful how they use the bait, etc.
O.o - why should there HAVE be an alternative!? If a similar, more non-invasive method could be applied for scientific research purposes, then i could possibly endorse that; but considering how much research has already been conducted - what can there possibly be to research more, which would essentially necessitate these intrusive methods ... they are obsolete and redundant in my view, and rarely serve any purpose other than spectator value and profitability ... why not just leave the sharks be?
+Leon Coetzee Because right now most people think great white and see Jaws, Jaws II, Jaws III, Deep Blue Sea, etc, and then don't care if these animals get wiped out. As I have said this is not the thing that is not killing them off, it is the fishing, etc, so if you show them swimming gently beside people in cages, and it helps change the image people have, so they will support passing laws and giving money to protect them. They did a study awhile ago where they compared the chances of an endangered animal coming back against the publics perception of them, and there is a direct correlation to the publics perception of liking them, vs not to whether they will be saved.
In fact they showed in that study that more then how much money was put into scientific study, etc, that the most important factor that dictates whether an endangered animal will survive is whether the public thinks they are either cute, or they like them. So we need the public to like Great White so they can relate to them, otherwise chances are they will eventually become endangered and there will not be enough done to help them. So while I share you sentiment that some of these yahoos are being ignorant in how they get the sharks riled up, etc, it is more important to let it continue in order to secure their survival...
still they eat humans
I don't think the shark understands how a shark cage works
TheGrandWhiteFox hi! I'm a subscriber! Keep it up! Everybody check it out this guy's page if you want to discover new music or you just want to jam out. 10/10
Wut?
TheGrandWhiteFox lmao
TheGrandWhiteFox lol
Haha
This company needs to be SHUT DOWN! the bait handler DIRECTED the shark into the cage and most people didn't even know they had somebody down there! the shark GOT HURT and was extremely stressed!!!!
Maria Jesus Valdes you are literally what's wrong with the Internet and life. You know about 10% of the facts and have formed a stupid opinion. The operators clearly knew someone was in the cage, the spectators were confused. The shark wasn't directed, just in case you can't read- sharks are momentarily blinded after lunging at bait. It panicked but got free. Sad that it's bleeding, but it was an accident. ACCIDENT.
The shark 'handlers' are actually experts, this is so rare that it's the first time this happened to them and they've been doing it for decades. No matter how you slice it, it's a risky thing. If these were giant goldfish swimming around, no one would be there.
Directed the shark into the cage? Haha wow.. Youre not a clever one.
no, they are professionals they know better than you, they just want to take some footage of the sharks and things goes wrong thats all, the blood probably from the shark struggling to get out from the cage
There is very little we can do about stupidity and common sense is just not so common. If you listened carefully and watched the operators, you will see that they got this and the fact the diver came unharmed was just great. When you go in the shark cage, there is a possibility that you might be eaten by a shark, even our families warn us when we decide on such experience, that is the reality of the experience otherwise go to the aquarium and you will enjoy the experience from behind the glass safely....
These magnificent apex creatures are not performance experiences for thrill seeking tourists. The GW was in considerably more danger than the person in the cage.
Obviously the shark penetrated the cage and finding itself confined it was frantic to get out. Fortunately one of the observers/boat hands opened the top of the cage and gave the GW a means of escape.
We can send someone to the moon and we can't build a cage that sharks cannot break into? That just doesn't seem right.
I agree they need better work on the cage, but it isn't easy. that is an incredible strong animal and is capable of bending those bars pretty easily when it is going full force against it. I do not think you can make the steal stronger without making it heavier, or paying a crazy amount for special steel, so it is just the reality. Maybe I am wrong, and someone way smarter needs to come up with a better, stronger system. But, still, i don't blame them for not being able to stop a 2000 pound animal from bending a steel bar, and that is just the average size, biggest females can weigh 4300 lbs when mature.
The cage would be made out of aluminium not steel, it's a lot lighter and doesn't corrode. One wouldn't expect a shark to batter it's way in.I suspect the food was to close to the bars or perhaps fell inside it and the shark went for it. Might be wrong tho.
Dead hamster is the only passenger you can send to the moon, dude. There are only 2 countries which have functional manned spacecrafts at this time. I suppose you're not form one of them.
Yea, you are no doubt right about the aluminum. I should know that. I grew up on the coast and aluminum was used for everything on boats because of its strength-weight ratio, and because it doesn't rust...
I just looked up a link here...
www.popularmechanics.com/adventure/outdoors/a16400/the-secret-strength-of-shark-cages-is-aluminum/
Scanning quickly, they did make one out of steel, that is for the really big sharks, but it is a 100,000 dollar cage...
Ha, it says the sharks would not hurt the cage... I wonder if that was on of their cages... Anyway, yea aluminum you are right....
I think this is exactly a place where they should use special steel, not some cheap one.
I hope the water is ok
I'm not sure, all that splashing could have a detrimental effect on it's wellbeing and could cause problems in the future.
Poor phytoplanktons ; (
ruft noot OMFG😂😂😂

ruft noot
Um okay is the shark okay?
So its okay?
The video uploaders replied to another similar comment and said they'd seen the same shark a few hours later chasing tuna so it's okay!
Don't know, go jump in and ask him.
Emma L the shark is perfectly fine. It just ate a huge piece of blood soaked tuna (used to lure the shark close to the cage) and since the gills are directly connected to the sharks mouth the tuna blood came out of the sharks gills giving the appearance that it was bleeding from its gills.
That poor shark! When are we going to stop treating these animals like a Disney attraction?
The Dummyblondes Your username says it all......
Mars Boy They lure them with tuna and blood..
Ok, yes they lure the animal to the boat with tuna and what not but they didn't do anything else to the shark. Its probably better to have people see sharks in their natural habitat then an aquarium. People can actually see the full power and beauty of these creatures and get more awareness of shark endangerment.
@Mars Boy are you retarded lol... that shark is probably dead now because of these dumb people
Sounds like jobs nowadays, poor tortured population.
Is the shark OK? He was bloody. Hope he's OK.
Jason Troy he is. Spotted the day after unharmed
Yes, the shark was spotted a day later and it is fine.
bro.... a shark always bleeds
Jason Troy the blood comes from the gills
+Konrad Kammerer (RikiRack) do they really? i didnt know that. Why do they bleed?
the guy in the orange so: so glad this isnt going to be a lawsuit !
B Ray u mad me day thank hi hope trick run u
You would sign a waiver stating that your death or injury is not the fault of the company before doing this. So he would not be able to be sued.
Peter Beedle depends on the country too though. I'm not sure South African law is like that.
Besides the legal system here barely works as is
***** yeah the system WAS good, the laws still are some of the best in the world. However the ANC has really ruined this country, I mean the high courts are now being used to try and sideline the minister of finance so that Lord Dictator Zuma can steal even more from the country with his Gupta buddies
uhh. Yeah, I'd 100% still sue. they obviously need to change their policies.
Shark: Don't just stand there help me out!
Hope the shark didn't hurt himself too bad. Beautiful animal
It was definitely bleeding...looked like from the gills
Honestly.
Guy almost gets eaten and you're worried about the animal? I would've stabbed that shark into oblivion!
Ah yes, Stab it.. Stab an animal in its natural habitat because it was the SHARKs' fault obviously. OFCOURSE we're worried about the animal.
Josh B. The shark is within it's predatory rights. If you walk through a lion park in South Africa will you blame the lion for attacking you?
One-liner summary of my long post for those who prefer Tweet-sized sentences!
1. Crew knows there's a diver in the cage, it's passengers asking if anyone is in there.
2. Shark had very minor injury and is confirmed okay.
3. These tour operators work with the gov't, non-profit agencies, sanctuaries, marine biologists for the good of the sharks.
4. Cage design and bait techniques are being reviewed and changes made if necessary to ensure safety for sharks and divers.
5. 'Leave the sharks alone' got them on the endangered species list because poachers won't leave them alone.
6. No video footage from diver.
7. If you want your post read, don't cuss because it will be auto-filtered.
If you want those points filled out with more info, it's in my other post!
I wonder how they confirmed the shark was ok? Or did they just say that to appease people.
The shark was spotted later that day and several times the next day and was totally fine. There was also a marine biologist aboard the boat at the time. The boat operators know each shark by name, they can identify each individual. They have a binder on the boat with dozens of pages of the known sharks and their names.
Gabe and Garrett how in the world is your comment not liked to the top yet, so many confused people in comments.
אאאאאאאא_
Gabe and Garrett
Poor shark
Jaymez Laflare too bad the animal didn't win this one. No sympathy for morons like this
Poor dude
Poor water
poor bait
poor me
You can actually see the distressed look on it's face, I've never seen a shark look scared before
How can they be doubting if there was anyone in the cage??
The crew knew someone was in the cage, the passengers who happened onto the scene are the ones asking this question.
Swaf
SwafflesYT. did you see at the end a guy came out
Theres like a dozen people on board, and no one knew their homeboy was in the cage?!?! Nice friends you got. If he had gotten eaten, no one would have known!!
I felt bad for the shark, i hope the blood coming out of his gills wasnt life threatening.
They knew, but they kept quiet because if the guy is dead, in there, it is better not to let the passengers know. Great way of avoiding a lawsuit.
Thank G the guy with the orange T shirt was smart enough to quickly flip the top of the lid open ! Sharks are smart but still fish once it felt trapped all it wanted to do was leave!
He actually wanted to get Ming out, but this worked too :D
That shark was just trying to live its life and ended up confused and injured
That shark thought he had found dinner
I want to see the footage the diver shot.
ChilidogLance that's what I'm here for!
I've heard all you can see is brown water...
Probably PTSD for both of em.
the shark bleeding isnt actually because it was hurt, u can see the blood coming from the gills. this happens very often with when they find themselves in a confined space and they stress out. it happened to me twice while handling my koi fish from the pond and i've been koi keeping for the past 9 years.
usually when my koi fish was netted*
Dẻo hieu
kinda feel bad for the poor shark
Thanks, I was wondering about that.
Cool
Why would you have the bait so close to the cage - that was stupid... Poor shark, it was bleeding :(
poor human survived
The Shark was not bleeding. All of that red coloured stuff is simply the bait. It's specifically "blended" (and I use that term loosely) to be as bloody and tasty as possible to attract sharks. Sharkskin is incredibly tough. If it were to bleed from anywhere, it would have been either its main dorsal fin or the two side fins (that I forget the name of).
What you have here is a very confused shark and scared witless hoomon. (Because if I were in there, the water would be a distinct brown colour).
Just some further information. The blood coming from the gills. If anyone knows how fish breath... they take water in through their mouths and flush it through their gills. Guess where the blood goes. Also... how could it be bleeding from the gills and nowhere else?
Logic my friends. It will doom us all ;).
Right here you can see a dangerous animal. Right beside it is an innocent great white shark.
AllenTV wow so original
U mean the cage?😂
edgy
ugh
Degenerate.
You're gonna be in the cage.
Don't worry,it's absolutely safe...
be careful what you fish for when going diving with sharks.
"Careful what you fish for." Lol :D
Why was there blood coming out of the shark's gills?
Alixandah How do you know that?
He was probably cut and hurt with a broken rail or metallic part.
Do not worry for him, sharks have very strong immune systems, so no great risk of infection, it will be left with some scars.
No, the blood is from the SHARK, not the bait. It states clearly in other articles that the shark was injured when a metal bar from the cage was broken off and slashed the side of the shark while it was struggling. Also, it is highly illegal to bait the cage to lure sharks. It makes sharks associate people with food, causing more wildlife conflicts.
The diver was on her "sick girl time". Okay, hun? There's no need for you to worry about girl business. Now, run along and play with your Mindcraft!
**turns to Camera 1**
And that's how you handle *that* situation? **winks**
-Educator Extraordinaire Jessica Trentwood
the poor shark hurt itself with the metal bars
Cage goes in the water, you go in the water. Shark's in the water.
Farewell and adieu to you, fair Spanish ladies.
WHAT are you talking about?
Poor summer child, hath you no comprehension of the greatness that is JAWS?
No, I thought you were doing a Master of Disguise reference...
Here's to swimmin with bow-legged women.
Adieu is Catalan
Ummmmmmm wow there was someone in the cage
i would get in that cage for you if thats what it takes to wife you up
2 7
oh as you can see here we have a fascinating creature known as Aaron Mayorga but also referred to by scientists as the perverted person on the internetitus.
was it Richard Dreyfuss?
Aaron Mayorga creep
what is the point of the cage when entire shark body can get in to it?
You've got a point here
They normally can't.
And that's why you don't f*cking mess with nature
fletcho909 So you are not supposed to help animals?
special snowflake lmao
Pelix I meant we should just leave sharks alone. Every time someone goes shark diving they are entering their environment and people wonder why the sharks get agitated. If you go in be prepared for them to check you out
fletcho909 Yeah, I get what you meant. I meant my comment as a joke.
special snowflake Oh ok. That was hard to establish :)
Do we have the footage of the camera that the diver had in his hands at the time inside the cage?
Unfortunately it was obscured by a mysterious brown cloud in the water.
hope the sharks ok
u don't know if someone was in the cage. really safe being with you guys
It's the passengers asking that question, not the crew.
Exactly.. smh
loooooooool
Gabe and Garrett I’m pretty sure I heard you say it at one point in the video... sorry if I’m wrong! You did a great job getting him outta there!
The poor shark was bleeding ;-;
Tagz sup
Tagz
They're built like a brick shithouse, it was fine.
Lolita HoneyComb
Tagz it was BLEEDING!? I that he killed someone
