It was in Egypt, diving in Egypt and the shark came out of nowhere and I was like, but then once that fear went down, I went, my God,
they're beautiful they're so beautiful so since then we've sort of tried to tailor our diving in order to see specific species and i'm slightly obsessed with just the beauty and shape of of hammerheads and i always wanted to see a hammerhead and um the first time i saw i turned around i was on a dive in mexico and there was one behind me and i just burst into tears in my mask yeah
Well, the biggest one that we had was, it was quite funny.
We were on a dive at a cleaning station where there were sharks being cleaned by little fish.
And we were watching these sharks and we were like, these are beautiful.
They were Galapagos sharks and black tips.
And all of a sudden, my friend turned around.
And if you've ever wondered whether it's possible to hear somebody scream underwater, I can tell you it is.
Because going right behind us, obviously just looking at all of our backsides as we were facing the other way, it was an enormous tiger shark.
Cracking ass.
Cracking ass.
As in they do attack if they're hungry.
Well, they are less fussy about what they eat, should we say.
Okay.
Yeah, so they will be a little bit more opportunistic.
Yeah, yeah.
But it was just clearly going past all of our bums going, not that one, not that one.
That's got a bit of meat on it.
Or indeed save sharks.
So obviously there's lots of sharks in the ocean with hooks affecting them and they're strapped in their mouths and there have been divers that have learnt how to calm them down and remove the hooks.
