11 Shark Encounters When Cage Diving Went Wrong

Divers have to go through a lot of troubles underwater, but probably the scariest thing is meeting a shark face-to-face. And the scariest part is when a shark breaks through protection and gets right up to the diver in their own cage. Now you will see how it happens! In this episode I will show you the scariest moments when a shark managed to break into a diver's cage

One of those sharks died after getting caught up in the cage. I've seen footage of it sinking to the bottom. It's gills were torn to pieces. Clearly a new design of cage is required for the safety of both man and shark.

Why don't they put the bars closer together so the freaking shark cannot get in God they leave this gigantic Gap

The problem with cage diving to view sharks is really a huge problem once their curiosity is aroused and they swim at the cage and get partially in and that is the problem because sharks can't swim backwards so they try to go further forward and chaos ensues !!

Somebody help me to understand why the openings in the cages would be anywhere close to big enough to allow for a shark to get its head inside 🤔🤦‍♂️

You get what you deserve when you mess with nature

I feel really bad for the shark. I hope it survived.

The poor animal bleeding out trying to get out of the cage injuring itself 😢

One of these days the sharks will just gently swim up to the cages and casually open up the doors and slowly feast on the divers.

Injuries to these sharks is why Guadalupe just banned shark cage companies from doing this anymore. Which is good.

That statue of Jason Voorhees at the bottom of the lake is so clever & FUNNY that I will allow it to pass my radar, as it is being sneaked into a countdown of SHARK CAGE incidents!!🙂 I was full expecting there to be some cage tie-in, but maybe I missed it?
(My guess is that the narrator did not “get” the full scale of the joke, as Jason “lives” & resides at the bottom of Camp Crystal Lake!!🙂🙂)

When they have a steady stream of tourists and keep the waters chummed !. 🐋 🦈

Yes but in some of these instances, they're baiting the water. These people are presumably safe in the cage and want to see the sharks. Feed them ...them... they will come....

Sharks snarl to be warn you off then roar when they're about to attack. In fact they sound just like tyrannosaurus rex.
I saw it in Jaws 3.

I've been in the water a few times with alligators. Grew up in Florida, swimming and tubing in several rivers. They're typically going to leave people alone unless otherwise provoked. Still, the guy swimming right under that gator probably wasn't the best of ideas.

Cages are merely a deterrent and if they want you they will get you!

[Mike_Rottchburns]

You sound like FactsVerse from 2018 but less monotone. I like it.

[El_turco]

these sharks all died because they hurt their gills so it's just irresponsible of these people that they just designed these cages wrong. the shark gills are very sensitive, you can also see in the videos how the sharks bleed immediately from the gills, it is totally senseless death of these sharks the whole thing could have been avoided very well.

[acojankovic]

That first shark died from i injuries cage dive should be banned it’s dangerous for both . Same with chumming of the boats now sharks see any boat they go straight to expected food . Here is the bad news if you don’t have anything for the GW you’ll do just fine

Talk about living on the edge. And this is why I am not going down in a cage

I was vacationing in Ft. Laturdale 1979. We were ordered out of the water because a school black tips had come into the reef, which was only 100yds from the beach. I Romberg the black tips on the sure
