I don’t know if any of you are divers, but this last weekend I did my second shark dive. The video is from a GoPro on my wrist. The fun doesn’t really start until around 6:30 in the video. The sharks are Caribbean Reef Sharks and ranged in size from about 5’ to 12’. If you are a diver, add this dive to your bucket list.

Looks like fun! I had the pleasure of bumping into a shark while SCUBA diving off Anacapa Island here in SoCal. I was hoping to find some in Hawaii but only got to dive with Turtles and Eels. I have never worn chain armor while diving. How much did it weigh?

Only the feeders and camera crew had the chain mail, the rest of us were just in wetsuits.

Man this is at the top of my bucket list. I wanted to do this when I was in the Bahamas, but didn't get the chance to. I will definitely be going back and doing it though. That's so awesome.

Looks amazing.

1.) What is the red tint on the lens?
2.) No HD quality?

The red tint is a red filter that is supposed to perform color correction when diving in blue water. The gopro is just the white edition. That was actually the first time I ever used a gopro.

Same here. My dad and I want to go cage diving with great whites off the coast of south africa.

OP, looks like a blast! I have wanted to do that for a long time, but haven't been able to. Gotta learn how to scuba dive first lol.
