Supposedly GWSs don't like the taste of humans and most "attacks" are actually mistakes on the shark's part. Wouldn't like to put that one to the test myself. Absolutely amazing shots though.
That's a pretty big fish.
It's got it's own Twitter account! Must be smarter than your average shark.
Nominative determinism alive and well (for the time being) with the diver.
awesome pictures 😀
That's beautiful. Wonder if that suit is patterned like that to avoid looking too much like a seal?
I'd estimate that she's a decent bit deeper than the shark in the 3rd photo. She's below the pectoral fins and is photographing the shark which she wouldn't be able to do if right next to it.
Everything about those photos is beautiful and she's a whole lot braver than I am. Great name too.
My friends freedive with Ocean Ramsey and Juan and sharks, here is their blog, some amazing photos too

Or just a BIG Avatar fan.
We're going to need a bigger boat...
Jaws was a tiddler.
small person or big shark?
I was going to post a pic of the Jaws 3 3d arm floating, but thought better of it.. 🥴🤮
Cheers for that. I'm going surfing next week. In Hawaii. That island, in fact..

If you’re in the water looking up all you see is the silhouette. Colour don’t mean to much to a shark. It’s all in the nose and the ampullae of Lorenzini.

Could you arrange an introduction?
Ouufffff. I reckon she could leave Dorito crumbs and spill Tizer in my bed and not get kicked out.
Preggers at 50! Well done shark.
It's got 4 eyes...

All the better to see you with my dear
The thought process was probably: "Well it hasn't scoffed me so I might as well take a few liberties and enjoy my 15 minutes of fame...."
Great images of the shark. Got to love a great white, got to be my favourite member of the animal fraternity. I would love to swim with them but it’s probably never going to happen.
Apparently among shark experts Great White's are considered among the least aggressive species and have been unfairly demonised due to films like Jaws.
Bull sharks and Tigers are actually much more dangerous.
Unless that is you are a surfer* as your silhouette makes you look like a seal which is the Great Whites favourite food.
*Except for Surf-Mat who killed a Great White with one punch to the nose then strapped it to the roof of his 335d and drove away
proper lolled at the teeth photoshop picture.
Nope, nope and no some more. Why would you?
some freedivers like the camo patterned ones as they reckon they blend in better which spook the fish less, I'm not convinced. Rich is right, especially bull sharks as they are proper scavengers; it's usually surfboards and swimmers at dawn or dusk that invoke the attacks rather than freedivers and scuba makes them swim off.
I agree with the pregnancy theory; I seem to remember reading about GWS' coming to the Mediterranean to pup, maybe the warmer water is the draw for this
I still wouldn't go in the water with a GWS though!
Could you arrange an introduction?
Well I keep meaning to go out and join them for a week or two. I think Ms Ramsey is happily engaged to Juan who takes the photos though 😉
Nope, nope and no some more. Why would you?
Erm, a different angle but yep, yep and yep some more.
Why wouldn’t you 🥴🥳🤠

As well as being very good at chess.
Bull sharks and Tigers are actually much more dangerous.
Along with oceanic white-tips, they’re pelagic open ocean sharks, part of the requiem shark family, they’re the most aggressive and dangerous to swimmers. Bull sharks, or Brown Whalers, can also tolerate brackish water, so can be found swimming into rivers, which can be a bit disturbing...
Fantastic photos, though, and that is a bloody big fish!
