i feel like even if the sharks eat him he will still narrate the whole experience excitedly "I can feel the teeth SINKING into my THIGH! The strength of the bite is EXTRAORDINARY, Just look at them RIPPING my thigh apart with EASE!!! Truly, TRULY MAGNIFICENT CREATURE!!! To be at the receiving end of such a powerful force of nature, WHAT AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE OF A

Sharks: stop yelling your scaring our dinner!!!

I once jumped into the water in Florida from a boat and climbed back on and turned around & saw a 4 foot long bull shark just drift by. It followed us and I learned it was going for our bait but I didn’t feed it because I didn’t want the shark to associate people with food.

1:19 - "right now I have to say I wouldn't wanna be this turtle surrounded by animals that could well try to eat you" ... I wouldn't wanna be a guy being between such a turtle and a bull shark which in addion is circling my back without me having eye contact :D :D Maybe he's yelling loud enough to keep the bulls on distance :)

[Primalxbeast]

LoL
I wouldn't want to be this turtle right now, surrounded by animals that may want to eat it. It needs to breathe air and will be vulnerable when it returns to the surface.

Funny comments considering the fact that he's also surrounded by those animals and needs to breathe air.

I'm Australian. We're surrounded by things that are deadly.
But even we fear bull sharks. They happily swim into fresh water rivers, many kilometres from the coast, and attack...

Bull sharks are nice. They can bite extremely nicely, especially very big ones.

[hazelhuff]

I'm curious to hear the sharks commentary on this lardbutt

[BrickTamlandOfficial]

sharks are only dangerous when they are really hungry or they feel their territory is being threatened.

[bink]

Wow... What an amazing experience. Sharks are massively misunderstood creatures. Incredible!

[jing]

best video so far....really puts you on your toes

[Senaleb]

Probably the most dangerous shark alive because it can swim in fresh water where people do not expect it and these sharks are HIGHLY territorial and aggressive.

[willlexie]

I don’t think you should swim around that dangerous creature. Sharks, get away from it!
