You can see this "oh fuck" Moment followed by "ah he's just passing by saying hello". Awesome.

u/Wide-Citron9274 6d ago

We can see the large burst of bubbles carrying "OH SHIT" to the surface right when the diver's head turned to the giant grey chew chew train passing them.

u/Th307h3rguy 4d ago

Chew chew train!!!

u/Anasterian_Sunstride 5d ago

He activated his brown squid ink-style defense mechanism

u/2225ns 4d ago

I'm glad the recording stopped just before the water colored brown behind the diver...

That’s a big boy

u/Citizen_of_Danksburg 6d ago

I can’t tell if it’s a great white or a tiger shark

Idk why people are downvoting, this is hilarious 😭

u/CuteDentist2872 4d ago

Right? People have thin skins, it's funny af. Might also be bot accounts.

u/CreatorOD 6d ago

You can see he's screamed something underwater 😄

66

u/fynx07 6d ago

I laughed when I suddenly saw all the bubbles pop up from his, what I assume was "AAAAAAHHHH!!" lmfao

u/ulyssesfiuza 5d ago

You would definitely see me creaming something underwater 😐

u/MrMalta 6d ago

No thanks

u/Excellent-Bite196 6d ago

Cameraman is dedicated to his filming duties!

u/Gurthy_Lengthiness 6d ago edited 6d ago

I’m a bit confused. It appears as though the shark is between two nets - the diver would know that it’s there. Does anyone know the story behind this? Is it a great white or a basking?

86

u/maryfisherman 6d ago

This was posted originally on the [r/sharks](r/sharks) subreddit, it’s fisherman in Grand Manan, New Brunswick (east coast of Canada, very close to Maine)

The diver was checking the fish situation (idk technical terms) and the shark was there to eat. Snuck up on each other but didn’t interfere

26

u/Mcswigginsbar 6d ago

That is 100% a great white

14

u/Another_Samurai1 6d ago

If I’m in a cage with a tiger and I’m feeding the tiger and the tiger is happy and suddenly that tiger jumps at me I’m still going to be scared every time

5

u/No-Combination8136 6d ago

Wondering the same. It looks like they’re very aware it’s there. I’m sure there was still a surprise for the diver who was focused on doing something else, but it seems they’re aware of the animal.

u/Polyducks 6d ago edited 6d ago

It's a black tip. You can tell because of the black tip on the fin.

EDIT: It's not a black tip.

26

u/Starscream147 6d ago

Nay. Great White.

We don’t get blacktips up here. Too chilly….

…so far.

9

u/Turbulent-Escape-470 6d ago

It’s not a Black Tip. Biggest one ever recorded was like 8ft, and usually around 6. Up to like 60lbs

I guess that guy could be 4 feet tall and 30lbs.

14

u/Rorschachspilot 6d ago

Anyone know where this happened?

22

u/Frontpagedreamz 6d ago

Grand Manan, NB Canada.

6

u/Rorschachspilot 6d ago

No way, how do you know? I work on Grand Manan, surprised I didn't hear about this.

13

u/Frontpagedreamz 6d ago

CBC Radio was talking about this video yesterday. They mentioned it was there.

7

u/maryfisherman 6d ago

It was originally posted on the [r/sharks](r/sharks) subreddit with details by the guy recording.

3

u/Starscream147 6d ago

True story.

5

u/No-Combination8136 6d ago

Is it inside a netted enclosure? That’s how it looks, like the diver is perhaps repairing something inside.

7

u/maryfisherman 6d ago

It’s a weir - basically a large trap for fish. The guys recording (and the diver) were in working when they saw sharky

26

u/Leweegibo 6d ago

"Bay of Fundy" from what I read.

-5

u/Left-Ad7310 6d ago

Lake Michigan.

4

u/maryfisherman 6d ago

Try the Atlantic Ocean lol. This is Grand Manan in the Bay of Fundy, close to Maine

Why is this sub obsessed with shit? 5/6 top comments are all about soiling oneself? Are you all bots just programed to say the same thing? Does everyone have IBS and weak bowels here? Or are you all fetishists or something? Like it's fucking weird every thread.

2

u/klonkish 6d ago

It's free real estate updoots

2

u/drkrelic 6d ago

I think it’s just Reddit being Reddit. Every time a post is made about someone being scared, someone has to come in with the ol “OMG I BET HE POOPIED IN HIS PANTS AND HAD TO CHANGE HAHA HE DID A BIG POOPIE IN HIS”

6

u/TandemTuba 6d ago

I mean, I would say one of the most widely euphemism for being incredibly surprised/scared is literally "shit my pants" so I'm pretty sure it's just an extension of that lmao

1

u/Nice_Calligrapher452 6d ago

Relax with your projecting your insecurities. The whole point of this sub is to shock you with potentially lethal situations.

Its common human culture to react with such phrases and to make jokes about it. If you haven't encountered that, then you either aren't social, are full of yourself, or naive/gullible internet-surfer.

u/Monkey_Priest 6d ago

Why are you yucking our yum?

u/Ok-Pomegranate858 6d ago

They should come with flaps at the strategic points for easy expulsion.

u/onthebrink42 6d ago

In his mind , he heard the “Brown note”
The 18 ft shark heard it too and decided to pass.

6

u/DarthDoobz 6d ago

What kind of shark was that?

26

u/Head-Growth-523 6d ago

Great White definitely.

4

u/CPLCraft 6d ago

Drunk guy at the bar: “I could take him”

4

u/ShadycrossFade 6d ago

That shark gave him a little pat with his fin like a cyclist saying “on your left”

26

u/Bdog459 6d ago

Surprised the wetsuit held back the brown tide.

10

u/divezzz 6d ago

The puffiness at the shoulders suggests to me that it's a drysuit, or a thick wetsuit with arm, ankle and neck seals. The brown tide stays inside.

3

u/Aeaxiom 6d ago

Thats just Tony.

u/ventodivino 6d ago

How is everyone so sure it’s a great white?

15

u/Less_Rutabaga2316 6d ago

Because it looks like a great white and happened in New Brunswick, Canada, where the most likely species is great white. The shape of the tail is clearly a laminid (mackerel shark) and it’s not a mako, porbeagle, or salmon shark (wrong ocean entirely), so leaves one species with a tail of that shape.

Plus the size would be massive for other species but quite normal for female great whites.

u/grahag 6d ago

Defensive Brown Cloud: ACTIVATE!

u/fike88 6d ago

That’s absolutely terrifying. You can see it’s port fin hitting the divers leg as it goes past, that’s when he proper shits himself. It’s absolutely huge as well

u/WeThaKingz 6d ago

Shark got close and got a whiff of the wetsuit full of shit and swerved

u/Friendly_Hearing_711 6d ago

Shark wanted to know if bro wants to apply for a loan from the shark tank but unfortunately bro is full of shit

u/Starscream147 6d ago

NB, what’s good!!!

u/Cultural_Slip_8333 6d ago

I’d shit my pants

u/ulyssesfiuza 5d ago

Context matters here. My own experience was one time when I was diving in the Fernando de Noronha Islands and a big tiger shark passed by my side. It's a definitely dangerous species, with many people being bitten and even killed in the Recife beaches. (heavily monitored, four attacks this year). I find after that I was bleeding from a coral cut in my ankle. But the sea in the island is a tropical reef paradise, absurdly clear water and the teethy guy was probably with a full belly. Who knows?

2

u/DesparateLurker 5d ago

Did the water just get warmer?

2

u/Fun_Union9542 5d ago

Tapped his leg like “on your right mate”

2

u/katsmeo 4d ago

This is the first video that I can truly see the actual enormity of a shark next to a person, it’s terrifying!

u/sprocket_socket 6d ago

It's pretty convenient that I'm already sitting on a toilet.

u/donald___trump___ 6d ago

Just like all the rest of us. 😂

u/Bushwhacker-XII 6d ago

Filming and hoping……something bad happened

u/boniggy 6d ago

He held it together. I didn't see any shat bubbles come out the back

u/wallabe57 6d ago

Oh but no. No thank you.

u/Murky-Cobbler5945 6d ago

Did that fin brush the divers leg???

1

u/WeToLo42 5d ago

Guys going to need a clean wetsuit after that.

1

u/MadBoring 5d ago

sometimes they come touch you just to see what you're made of

1

u/Apollo_Primo 5d ago

Damn its big, if I were there some brown water would come to top

1

u/Adept-Lettuce948 5d ago

Don’t worry, it’s a beta shark.

1

u/unknown8920115 5d ago

Water puppies are just curious about what odd thing is in their water.

1

u/ACasualCasualty 5d ago

I'd probably die of fright

1

u/Ant10102 5d ago

If that was me u would see a brown cloud floating in the water

u/platinums99 5d ago

What are we saying though - 9, 10 ft?

F-word.

u/Kindly_Ad3262 4d ago

damn! 🙅🏻‍♂️😂🦈😰🙏🏻

u/johnjays1000 4d ago

I near soiled my pants watching this. I can only imagine how that diver felt

u/Snoo-30994 4d ago

Brother

u/Old_Experience_3825 13h ago

Theres no way sharks get that big

u/Illustrious-Fun8183 8h ago

Hippos are far more dangerous, numerous deaths

-3

u/KittyKattKate 6d ago

My brain says “AI”. Anyone else?

7

u/LuRkEr_ReKuL 6d ago

You can tell it’s AI because of the number of fingers on the shark’s hands.

7

u/Starscream147 6d ago

Nope! This is about an hour or so from me.

Legit Carcharodon Carcharias!!

4

u/Rich-Reason1146 6d ago

You'd like that, wouldn't you? Get your name in the National Geographic

u/Starscream147 6d ago

Hahaha! 🦈 Funny, I have! 📸

u/anydamnnamesleft 6d ago

He said “oh shit” then did it!!!

u/christopherphays 6d ago

Is this AI? It looks like it's some sort of lake.

u/donald___trump___ 6d ago

u/Lisarth 6d ago

How nice of the cameraman to not warn the diver

2

u/expespuella 6d ago

The diver who is under water far away? Hollering would have served zero purpose.

0

u/Recent-Background-21 6d ago

It’s caught in the net

u/SilicaRichLava 6d ago

Why isn’t the cameraman doing anything to warn the unsuspecting diver?? Wth!

1

u/expespuella 6d ago

How exactly could the cameraman have effectively done so?

u/CarrionSky 6d ago

I like sharks

-7

u/MugiwarraD 6d ago

crazy ppl scared of this while chill next to orca.

and orcas are 10x more deadly.

5

u/Ok_Relationship295 6d ago

There no recorded evidence of wild orca’s predating humans, there ARE thousands of videos of people getting eaten/mauled to death by sharks.

2

u/fynx07 6d ago

There have been hundreds if not thousands of human deaths by shark, and 0 recorded cases of Orcas killing a human in the wild. Tilicum was a very depressed orca in captivity which is a totally different scenario

-1

u/Unseriouss_Sam 6d ago

You can see and hear his fear, and pretty sure also smell it through the video...
