Just in regards to some of the comments... You're actually safer underwater with these guys than swimming at the surface. Being at the bottom takes away their ability to sneak up under you. Maintaining eye contact also keeps them in check. They only test you when you're not looking. They also can't swim backwards, so if you just redirect them, they keep on moving. As far as the rolling goes, they do that entirely on their own. It's physically impossible for a human to flip over a 1, 500 lbs. animal with just a couple fingers. One last thing, once the bait is gone, they scatter and want nothing to do with us. And it's never nearly enough food or often enough to disrupt their normal behavior. Anyways, enjoy!

I wonder how they get back to the surface with those balls of steel they have...

*sharks* : just smile and wave boys, just smile and wave

Jesus Christ they're being treated like sea doggos.

People “sharks are monsters” divers “haha shark do big roll whoosh”

[patriarchmike]

They look so happy and playful. The hammer head looks like he's smiling. I love how there are different types of sharks all hanging out together.

Wow. Tiger trying to bite, casually roll it over and send it on its way! Understanding + skill = safety.

That was one of the best videos with people interacting with sharks I have ever seen. Amazing

1:54 shark must be like " i want your hand. NAH give me your hand! give it to me!!"
diver " only if you do a roll"
shark " mmmmkay"

I saw a video where a woman literally put her hand inside a shark mouth to get rid of a huge hook in its mouth. Despite the pain, the shark kept its mouth open and twisted and turned visibly in pain, yet it never closed its mouth during the entire process. It was like the shark knew what the woman was doing. I've never seen such a symbiotic relation between a human and a shark; it was a matter of total trust from both sides. 💖👍🦈

Hammerheads are some of the strangest looking creatures on the planet.

Edit: strange, yet beautiful. The way that they’ve evolved is fascinating.

I used to do this when I dove in the Sea of Cortez, and in the Gulf. Sharks are a great fish and deserve respect. Tigers are just like puppies when you pet and scratch them. They absolutely love it.

Hammer head:I will eat you!
Diver: let me just grab your hammer head and push it away...
Hammer head: How dare you

Damn these are magnificent and terrifying creatures at The same time. I love them and fear them. I think it's called respect. Something every human being should have for all the creatures cause they just like us.

Nurse sharks: bro I just want one fish please

[codyking]

I never realized how "toothy" hammerhead sharks were. Damn, looks like a meat grinder.

I feel weird saying that I get some sort of comfort watching theses graceful, yet dangerous, and beautiful, curios creatures in the water.
