Close call with great white shark

YouTube Description:

Amazing footage of a close encounter with a great white shark of the coast of Western Australia has surfaced as two divers had to fend off the dangerous beast that came close enough to touch.

Scary as hell I'm sure, but 'only' a speargun?

"a spear gun each and a knife were all (...) they had"

huh... i'm pretty sure those things are enough to stop a shark of any kind.

But yeah, I'd still crap my wetsuit

Well technically, they said it was probably a white pointer, not great white.

But man, I'm damn impressed with how they handled that, very cool under pressure. Nice work boys.

@spoco2 "white pointer" = Australian for great white.

From what I've read/experienced, if you see the shark, you're generally ok. If it's going to attack you'll probably never see it coming.

Amazing creature though, and what a great experience. Glad they didn't kill it.

Huh, I stand corrected. I didn't know they were one in the same, but there you go.

jokingly says...

What is a meter...this thing has 3 of them, does that make them more deadly?

jqpublick jokingly says...

It's an exponential thing, so it's something like 45,565 times as deadly as a shark with only one meter.

(They keep them under their fins in case you didn't know.) >> ^GeeSussFreeK:
