You were in danger once those two other sharks showed up. During my 40+ years of diving, I have had a fair amount of experiences with dozens of different types of sharks - Great Whites, Tigers, Lemons, Blues, Makos, Hammerheads, Thresher, Sand Tigers, Bill Sharks, etc. Have a couple suggestions for you and your buddies: 1. Use a longer stringer for the fish you shot so it puts a fair distance between you and the dead fish. In the one shot, it shows the dead fish hanging just above your ass. If a shark hits, your are literally running the risk of losing a butt cheek of two. 2. Carry a Shark Billy with you at all times. It is simply a 2-3 foot piece of dowling with at least a 16-penny nail on the end. Drive the nail in then cut the head off and grind or file it to a sharp point. I have had the same one for more than 20 years and it has served me well. Just push the sharks away when they get too close. Best to hit them in the tip of their nose (it doesn't hurt them as shark skin is very tough - in fact during Colonial times, American cabinetmakers used shark skin for sandpaper). That is a very sensitive area and I think it has something to do with their highly sensitive Ampullae of Lorenzini - the large jelly-filled pores that receive changes in electrical current generated by every living creature in the ocean. 3. You violated the first cardinal rule of diving when you stayed behind to film the sharks. NEVER dive alone. You literally need at least one (1) extra pair of eyes and ears in the water. When those two (2) other sharks showed up, you are very lucky you didn't get hit. You might never have ever seen the one that bit you. (4) As soon as you spear a fish, get it out of the water ASAP. Sharks can sense electrical impulses of a wounded/dying fish from miles away (Ampullae of Lorenzini). Hope that helps. One of my biggest dreams is to dive the Great Barrier Reef in Australia (my older brother lived in Darwin in the Northern Territories for a year and loved it and the real "Crocodile Dundee" Aussies) and dive with Orcas in New Zealand. Someday... Thanks for sharing and be safe out there.
Great pointers, I have my share of shark encounters too free diving. I have swam with white tip sharks, black tip sharks, Galapagos sharks, sand bar sharks, hammerheads, tiger sharks. I don’t have as much experience as you, but you gave great advice and I agree with you 100%. When I saw the guy by himself and swimming away from the sharks, I shook my head and said to myself all bad buddy 🙉, thanks for sharing your pointers with all of us. I couldn’t of said it better.
Best bit after it doesn't give 2 shizs was I don't think I was in any real danger they were big enough for a one bite bleed out oh and the subtitles for help I think that's prity universal
Didn’t know if you were in danger? Without the speargun, you were just a floating blob of meat that smelled like fish blood. That said, nice job surviving.
Sharks ALWAYS come out of nowhere, it’s like their thing, but also “nowhere” is pretty tempting to establish when you have limited visibility which incidentally more or less defines the ocean as such.
@@danielrhodesfolio Yeah they can be so damn sneaky. But I feel like many fish kind of have a sense of at what distance they’re on the edge of vision in different situations. In so many shark videos you see a shark circling, then apparently swimming away and then turning right on the edge and doing a straight approach. But I’ve seen garfish use the top 3 feet of seawater to hide in for a curious approach because a light clay silt in that layer it would disperse the sunlight and create a sort of haze which they would appear to use for cover. Whenever I hunt for pollock or cod there may be a school of small to medium ones visible, but the bigger more cautious ones will always be right over the edge of vision. They’ll be around for sure but only show themselves after a while, just like they’ll be the first to leave a spot if something seems out of whack. But I’ve had oceanic white tips sneak up on me while scubadiving in 40 metre viz as well. Tricksy.
You broke the most rudimentary rule for all. Never, ever swim alone. Number two. You decided to have a go at sharks alone in the ocean. Wow. You are lucky.
You were clearly in danger. The sharks looked very aggressive here. Fortunately you stood your ground long enough to get out of there- otherwise they have probably attacked.
@@danielrhodesfolio you actually did the right thing by continuing to film and face them, they don't like to attack from the front, if you had turned your back they probably would have had a go.
You definitely handled that situation better than I would've lol. I love swimming and being in the ocean but my fear of sharks is enough to get me out of a fresh water lake sometimes haha. It's a shame because I really want to take up spearfishing. Watching these sort of videos doesn't help either.
Chappy Bo Yeah I never had a fear of sharks as such... but after this I am much more cautious. This was not a common occurrence though. A spear usually helps when you go spearfishing too :p I hope you get a chance to give it a go one day :)
"Commence Operation Shit Yourself!" 🤣🤣🤣 Never a good sign when they turn their pectoral fins downward, arch their body and their buddies join in on the fun.
If no spearfishing had taken place none of this wouldve happenned. When your friend spearfished the blood and oil of the fishes got on you as well as he was nearby, so the sharks smell that from very far and so you were food for them because they smelled the fish oil and blood on you. Awesome video though!! People say its dangerous to surf because of the seal lookalike from a sharks point of view, but id say spearfishing is right up there. The only reason there arent as many attacks is because the spearfishers are in the water and expecting it unlike the surfers!
I think you have earned a narration role on a Discovery show. Priceless. Lol. Btw, there has been more (observational) research done that suggests that some shark species actually hunt in packs.
This video is now over 5 years old but it popped up on my screen so what the heck. I am sure by now you have had many diving adventures since this was made. Where I live we have bull sharks, lots of them. It is not uncommon to see one. I spearfish a lot and I usually dive alone bc we all take turns going down and shooting fish. Once I saw that first shark "Circling You" I knew more than likely that stinker was up to no good. Good job staying calm, it is not as easy as it looks for sure. I absolutely never go diving in my area without my speargun, ever. Bulls are pretty aggressive and extremely stubborn. I like the idea of carrying a Shark Billy as a backup just make sure you put a cork or something on the end of the nail so you do not accidentally pop yourself with it. Good vid man!
That was intense! Oh my goodness! Glad you made it back on the boat! You’re very brave. I don’t think I could spear fish like you in the ocean. Been watching way too many shark attack videos. Agreed! I love the narrating text, that was great!
I’ve always been perplexed why anyone would dangle a shark’s lunch from their waist while in the ocean. 🤷🏼♂️ I’ve only been diving a few times, but that seems like an obvious “no-no”. 🤔
Well, it is because of brave guys like you that mankind discovered a lot of things lurking in the deep, dark oceans. It it is because of guys like you that men statistically die early compared to women. Same medal, two sides ;-) BTW my own shark encounter: ruclips.net/video/C-GkEa-pBIo/видео.html
Wear and Tear. You are not wrong.. haha! Very beautiful little shark in your video. Every other time I saw sharks before this encounter, they would do the same thing your shark was doing in your video. Keeping their distance, not letting you get close etc. The octopus part was cool too. Thanks for showing me :)
Hey mate glad your still here to tell the story I’m planning a trip to gbr and want to know what’s the best island you think for fishing of a boat and diving have you explored there much
Sounds great! I usually just use a small boat and head to the miln/flynn reef area and fish off the flats etc. Using big poppers and stick baits we get heads of coral trout, red bass, flowery cod and big GT's. I'm not spear fisherman really, boats are what I prefer. Good luck bud 👍
I'd say you were in danger. These sharks were enforcers. The boss sent them to collect their cut of your take. I could see one shark signaling "yo, you fish on our turf and don't kick up to the boss?!?!"
I'm fluent in the shark language. Word for word, the shark said... "Hey, pal. If you're gonna fish on this block, you gotta kick up to the boss. You people know the rules. We get 30% of the take. So, you decide. You can hand over the fish, or we can do this the hard way. You don't wanna piss off the boss, do ya? It'll be hard to spear fish with one arm, buddy."
On one side, thank you for sharing this as it may serve to others .. on the other hand, you need to agree that an addition of mistakes like those may result in something not appropriate .. and not because of the sharks as they only act as natural animals. Please make sure you enjoy your dives and spearfishing session with more clarity ; ))) Enjoy the reefs.
Great stuff. You are very humble, since this encounter earns boasting rights in my land crab opinion. Also relieved there aren't any armchair shark experts in the comments. There's hope for humanity!
Why in the world would you choose to stay with no spear gun and it being a 5 minute swim back without a buddy ? I get why you would want to do everything you did but your pal being either your speargun or your actual buddy should stay or you leave. Not bitching, just saying ya know.....
I have encountered hundreds of sharks out on the reef but this was the first time around spear fishers. Usually the sharks are afraid and you can't even get close to them. The freshly speared fish made them act like this. I usually just dive to view the fish, not spearing. This was a new experience and a lesson for me :p
Diving in Australia dead fish attached to your waist no friends around, no speargun ...and the boat five minutes away? Farewell and adieu to you, fair Spanish ladies. ..
Bro. You're just like that one guy. "It's a beautiful shark!... I'm gonna touch it!" But Seriously! Glad you're okay, but I hope you learned your lesson.
The 3 sharks chased me in a line formation for 2 or 3 minutes, as I swam backwards kicking my fins... eventually the boat came and got me... was not much fun at all... haha
Just watch this video.too many mistakes starting with no buddy.And of course, the best action happened when camera off! Tipical ofcmr Macho man! Your lucky mate, it could have ended in a very different way.Hope u learned something.
The best way to tell if a shark is pissed is the way it's pectoral fins are pointed. If they're straight out, the animal's calm and just wants to tell you about our lord and savior, the megalodon; if they're getting close to 45 degrees downward, it's getting agitated. I don't *think* you were in that much danger, they were probably just curious, but at the end of the day, even the sharks who like to be pet and cuddled by humans are powerful killers and need to be approached with caution. Overall, I think you made the right choices by keeping calm, continuing to keep an eye on them, trying to get them to leave, and just trying to get out of the water.
Oh my gosh as soon as I saw the fish he caught on his arse I got nervous 🤭. Isn't their a way to keep them at a good distance in case you need to drop the fish and bail?
Jeez what a genius🧠, I'll stay and keep filming, oops I got no speargun, oops I just lost a flipper, oops perhaps I should have got rid of the lead weight belt, oops now there's more 🦈 🦈🦈 sharks, HELP!!!
Balls of steel just to go in the water ! When I was in Australia I swam with some pals on a beach not far from Perth must of needed my head tested ? I think I will stick with the good old River Thames at home.🤣
I guess next time you will spot when the first shark was agitated. Basically if you see their tail flapping they are going to be a handful. They can glide fast enough with their tails seemingly not moving. I doubt you were in a great deal of danger but there was scope for something to go wrong. What you did really well was to keep eyeballing the first shark. Fin kicking was not a good idea. I can say that without criticizing as I have also flapped hard enough in shark encounter to break a fin.
Yeah next time I won't be sticking around to film a shark when my mates are spearfishing anyway... haha. Sound like you have a lot more experience than me. I will take it on board. Cheers mate
@@danielrhodesfolio I think you did well mate. Eyeballing them was the way to go. TBH it was just bad luck. (99% sure their behaviour was territorial and not predatory. I have seen whalers act like that when a fish is shot where they were hunting. If they are like the whalers in NZ they might have rammed you, and would do that way before biting. Don't let it put you off. Territoriality also explains why there were a few around. Also, they get bolder when they outnumber you. See 3:22 what a ram looks like. Not interested in the fish just want to chase you off.
@@kiwibloke2000 Yeah you understand the situation a lot more than most. Most people just say... "It's your fault for having the fish on your belt" etc... I had no fish. It was the fact the sharks were stirred from others with fish. I think you are right, they were pretty much just muscling me out of there territory.
Love the shot of someone hanging fish inches from their ass in known large shark waters...Hats of to you my friend, I won't even go in salt water for fear of sharks.
"You, It's whats for dinner" is what the old American Beef commercial used to say. Those sharks had you on the menu! Did you have the fish still dragging between your legs or was that your friend? It looked like a bad placement of shark bait!
You look at it and it looks right back, and that's when the attack happens. Not from the front, but from the sides. From the other two raptors you didn't even know were there.
that was great gave me a good laugh honestly when the 1st shark kept persisting and swimming back n forth just in front of him I had a feeling that the other 2 were behind him and he didn't know it
Odd to be way out there and alone totally vulnerable without any form of defense or protection, a spear, club, something other than your fin......note to self if I ever take up spearfishing.
As its known for short time these sharks also hunting in a pack-they make friendships and stays for hunting together...but normally they should be no problem if not a stupid human handling starts!
You were in danger once those two other sharks showed up.

HAHAHAHAH
I would say you were definitely in some degree of danger there bud, glad to know you made it out safely.
Yeah, I am more cautious after that dive. Thanks mate
Based on?
No he wasn’t 👌🏽 he should have untie those fish
Didn’t know if you were in danger? Without the speargun, you were just a floating blob of meat that smelled like fish blood.

That was the first thing my SCUBA instructor taught me, was always drag dead fish along with you wherever you go.
Wow that was most certainley a close call. I am glad you lived to tell the tale and to show us the footage. Awesome.x
My pleasure. Thanks :)
you were in danger when the circling behavior began
Yeah found this out the hard way... haha
“I was swimming in Australia” well there’s your first mistake
Finally... a funny comment :)
Pretty crazy how those other 2 came out of nowhere. Glad you made it. I get freaked out enough having carp brush by me in the river.

I don't *think* you were in that much danger, they were probably just curious, but at the end of the day, even the sharks who like to be pet and cuddled by humans are powerful killers and need to be approached with caution. Overall, I think you made the right choices by keeping calm, continuing to keep an eye on them, trying to get them to leave, and just trying to get out of the water.
Oh my gosh as soon as I saw the fish he caught on his arse I got nervous 🤭. Isn't their a way to keep them at a good distance in case you need to drop the fish and bail?
I would have known you were an aussie just from the captions
Jeez what a genius🧠, I'll stay and keep filming, oops I got no speargun, oops I just lost a flipper, oops perhaps I should have got rid of the lead weight belt, oops now there's more 🦈 🦈🦈 sharks, HELP!!!
Hillarious! Respect
Nice to see someone seeing the lighter side of it... haha! Thanks :)
Now I'm alone, with no speargun - karma!
Balls of steel just to go in the water ! When I was in Australia I swam with some pals on a beach not far from Perth must of needed my head tested ?
I think I will stick with the good old River Thames at home.🤣
“Nice and close”...maybe these two words don’t go together?
Haha I think you may be right :P
What is your next adventure?….perhaps crossing the Serengeti on a bicycle?
I would have had those sharks for dinner
I guess next time you will spot when the first shark was agitated. Basically if you see their tail flapping they are going to be a handful. They can glide fast enough with their tails seemingly not moving. I doubt you were in a great deal of danger but there was scope for something to go wrong. What you did really well was to keep eyeballing the first shark. Fin kicking was not a good idea. I can say that without criticizing as I have also flapped hard enough in shark encounter to break a fin.
Yeah next time I won't be sticking around to film a shark when my mates are spearfishing anyway... haha. Sound like you have a lot more experience than me. I will take it on board. Cheers mate
@@danielrhodesfolio I think you did well mate. Eyeballing them was the way to go. TBH it was just bad luck. (99% sure their behaviour was territorial and not predatory. I have seen whalers act like that when a fish is shot where they were hunting. If they are like the whalers in NZ they might have rammed you, and would do that way before biting. Don't let it put you off. Territoriality also explains why there were a few around. Also, they get bolder when they outnumber you. See 3:22 what a ram looks like. Not interested in the fish just want to chase you off.
@@kiwibloke2000 Yeah you understand the situation a lot more than most. Most people just say... "It's your fault for having the fish on your belt" etc... I had no fish. It was the fact the sharks were stirred from others with fish. I think you are right, they were pretty much just muscling me out of there territory.
Love the shot of someone hanging fish inches from their ass in known large shark waters...Hats of to you my friend, I won't even go in salt water for fear of sharks.
Spear fishing in shark infested waters , and they call me stupid...
Commence operation shit yourself 😀😀😀😀
You just killed me
"You, It's whats for dinner" is what the old American Beef commercial used to say. Those sharks had you on the menu! Did you have the fish still dragging between your legs or was that your friend? It looked like a bad placement of shark bait!
The speargun with power head will be very handy in this case.
You are absolutely right there...
This dude doesn't look like he's in shape enough walk to the grocery store let alone spear fishing. Didn't know wet suits came in extra large.
Rude af
Trying to be a hero with your cam...you're damn lucky...
Not the brightest, oh look a shark, I'll stay in the water, my goal is to get my name in the books about shark attacks
I hope you achieve your goal someday bud :)
Great placement of the fish bear your crotch lol
*amazing*
So many take sharks lightly, too many in fact. Nothing funny here. Been around them and I ALWAYS immediately get back above water.
When I read the narration I imagine a hard Australian accent
The little brother of deep blue the giant sharck.
all i can say is. your a lucky man
You look at it and it looks right back, and that's when the attack happens. Not from the front, but from the sides. From the other two raptors you didn't even know were there.
Clever girl...
that was great gave me a good laugh honestly when the 1st shark kept persisting and swimming back n forth just in front of him I had a feeling that the other 2 were behind him and he didn't know it
@@MyFunnyVids888 yeah just like velociraptors!
Yeah, you were in danger!
they were sizing you up man, 100%
parfait exemple de tout ce qu'il ne faut pas faire en présence de requins. votre vidéo devrait servir comme cas d'ecole
Is this a white shark?
Odd to be way out there and alone totally vulnerable without any form of defense or protection, a spear, club, something other than your fin......note to self if I ever take up spearfishing.
That's why you don't stick around when you see sharks
As its known for short time these sharks also hunting in a pack-they make friendships and stays for hunting together...but normally they should be no problem if not a stupid human handling starts!
It’s all good, until your life is in danger.
sharks don't like noise. clap the surface of water with your hands. youre welcome.
Sweet looking juvenile sharks
