Note to self: Don't try to film a Great White while in a chicken-wire shark cage.

When you enter the ocean, you leave your position at the top of the food chain.

The water around me would have gotten warmer.

I'm not a diver.

Is the shark supposed to be in the cage with the diver like that? That was a pretty big shark to try to fit in such a small cage. There's just no way you're going to fit both the shark and the diver in there at the same time like that. That's just poor planning if you ask me.

Next time they need to bop them on the head a little before they bait the cage, that way they are still alive and fresh, but not quite so lively enough to get out of the cage.

I'd prefer a cage like this.

This bait is good for two uses. You witnessed the first successful use, but the second use will have to be by your method.

That looks like a homemade cage compared to most of the ones I've seen before.

See Wikipedia for instance

sharks don't have very good manners about coming in uninvited.

Get a real cage and I'd do it.

I'm pretty sure that's not how it's supposed to be done.

I'd be disappointed if you didn't.

As I typed it, I heard him saying it. It was off memory, not sure if I got it right.

IIRC, sharks are attracted to the scent of urine in the water.

In that case, every shark within 30 miles would be trying to get me.

when I showed up to the dock and they were loading up a hog wire "shark cage" with a 3 foot wide "window" in it
I think I would just turn right around

shark cage I got in was as actual cage and even had plexi inside the aluminum frame to keep you from feeding the sharks toes and fingers

Swim with sharks they said, once in a lifetime opportunity....better thrill ride than a roller coaster. I paid WHAT for this?

What was that final shot in the video-- looked like the shark got one of the divers by the foot? It didn't look like it was from the same location as the rest of the video.

The follow up video says they removed part of the cage for better viewing. When the shark grabbed the bait they had in the water, he tried to swim off with it blindly, and wedged himself in the cage.

I don't think he was trying to eat the people in the cage, but I would have definitely need a change of drawers!

That's a FANTASTIC shark trap. What are they going to do with it now? But it seems like the little escape hatches for the bait could operate more smoothly.Unless the bait is expendable, a consumable. Maybe losing some bait now and then is just the way it goes in shark trapping. I'm not a shark trapper so I don't really know. Is the bait considered a consumable in shark trapping?

Needed screaming and a gallon or two of blood. Just wasn't realistic.

I went to Australia earlier this year and did the cage great white shark dive. It was fun, not like that video, but then again, sharks can't swim backwards.

They were not attracted to my red hair at all.
