Meanwhile On the shark's YouTube channel: "When a 5ft feet hotdog thinks you are her friend"

[CJGfarm]

Best friends don't have to be redirected away from you.

NEVER get complacent around wild animals and think you have some 'special' relationship with them. They are programmed for survival. She's been lucky so far.

I too have to push my best friends nose away to prevent them from biting my face off.

When your best friend is a 15ft tiger shark, Trust me when I say it’s a one way friendship…

I'm sure Vladimir Popovs Dad would agree how Tiger sharks are misunderstood. Thinking how beautiful & friendly they are - as he hears his son crying out "help Papa" ! That video of poor Vladimir was heartbreaking, I understand sharks aren't the mindless killers shown in "Jaws" but neither are they harmless as kittens & perfectly safe to swim with. I agree we should learn about sharks & they must be protected
But don't give them pet names & teach kids it's fun to play with sharks

The grizzly guy in Alaska thought the bears were his friends too

This diver seems to believe her safety is due to her skill and actions. I lived 25 years on Maui and was an avid free diver and spear fisherman during that time, so have some firsthand experience with sharks to speak from.

If the sharks were actually acting aggressively there’s not a single thing she could do except make a beeline for the boat. They would be arching and torquing their bodies, bolting through the water, changing direction rapidly and covering distance very quickly, and would be acting frantically and very unpredictably. You don’t want to be in the water with an aggroing shark, it’s a frightening and humbling experience because it quickly becomes apparent that there is very little you can do should they decide to come at you. I don’t think most people appreciate just how fast and agile sharks are when agitated, you’d not be able to ”redirect” them, and I honestly don’t even know what the point is she’s attempting to communicate in narrating the video as such. That you are responsible for them not attacking? No, they are not attacking you because they are not attacking you, not because you’re pushing their snouts away or swimming underneath them. These sharks aren’t remotely predatory in their behavior, they’re simply cruising and curious. She’d be shark food if they hit the switch, and any attempt to redirect would be futile and end badly for her. Honestly this reminds me of Timothy Treadwell saying no cozy, cute cuddly bear would attack him because he spoke to them with a baby voice and had given them names.

These videos with people acting as if they are responsible for their safety and demonstrating such a lack of respect and reverence for these animals are frustrating to watch. This diver is not in control. The sharks are, she is in their home, and she’s safe only by their allowances.

Disclaimer - This is not my comment, it is a comment from another video. I tried to find the original comment, so that I could add his name and video. I am not trying to take credit for his comment. This comment is so well written that it should be posted on every shark re direct video. If anybody can find the original comment please let me know. I am surprised Ocean has not turned comments off or deleted this comment yet, its ok I have a copy.

Final point. I think this lady understands sharks better than most people, otherwise she would have been injured or killed by now. In saying that the redirecting thing is a load of rubbish. She should just say you can push a non aggressive shark away if its not attacking you.

Until that best friend shows up hungry

[TheMikester]

Every time I see, a tiger shark video instantly reminds me of that guy screaming for his Papa as he was eating alive. Absolutely heartbreaking

[Vix]

If you have to redirect your best friend every time he/she comes near you to not feel you with its teeth, it's most likely a one way friendship..

[barbaragreles]

I wish you would show these at actual speed. The slow motion makes it look so much calmer and gentler than it must be.

[yanniszaxaro]

that tiger shark is so brave!! met a human and got to tell the story

[Daveyboy_RS]

Ocean Ramsey is the only person in this world who regularly swims with great white sharks. She'll even take a ride on there dorsal fin. Unfortunately, I believe that one day I'm going to turn my phone on and it'll be all over the news that she was taken. I'm dreading that day, and pray it never happens but All it takes is one GW that has been hurt and can't hunt and is starving and she's done. These are situations that are out of her control, no matter how calm she remains, no matter how educated she is on how to behave and conduct herself in their presence, it just takes one.

I understand that there's nothing more that she enjoys, and she feels a true connection with these animals, but she's made it this far, she's worth over 3 million, so she doesn't need to continue doing this for monetary reasons. I say it's time to pull back a bit. She's already gone much farther than anyone has in this particular field.

[Arkie-Sparkle]

This woman is incredible, this is her life work! 🦈🦈🦈
I have so much RESPECT for her, I wouldn't do it for all the money in the world!!!

[royneumannpiano]

Thanks for sharing, this is beautiful !

[justwannalivefree]

I can relate. I have to redirect my best friends away from me so I don't get my face bit off too.

[justin-tixo]

Until that first disagreement. Then boom friendships over. Forever.
