2 thoughts, First this guy, has guts. I have not seen a great white in the open ocean.

Second, if he was biten it is a shame the shark will be blamed. Animals are called wild for a reason. This diver must have spent a lot of time around Gw's and more power to him for it, he probly has a greater understanding of them, then the rest of the world.

But once on film every "jerk" diver will think he can do the same and the sharks will be at fault if someone gets killed. Are you thinking of Jack A** the Movie?

You only have to look at what was reported after Steve Erwin was killed by a stingray. Apparently the stingrays were caught and thier spikes were cut off. (of course I read this on the internet and realy haven't verified it)

On the other hand it is good to see positive footage of GW's in the open ocean.

As always this is just my rambilings....
