| [00:00.18] |
Narration: Although experienced, |
| [00:01.37] |
cameraman Richard Woolocombe was understandably anxious. |
| [00:05.10] |
Richard: I have never dived with tiger sharks. |
| [00:07.97] |
And I'm incredibly excited on the one hand to see tiger sharks, |
| [00:13.05] |
but also somewhat reticent, |
| [00:14.83] |
knowing they have such a dangerous reputation |
| [00:17.71] |
Narration: So shark expert and photographer Doug Perrine was hired to watch his back. |
| [00:23.23] |
Doug: And then in one hand, |
| [00:24.73] |
I'll have an aluminium camera housing, |
| [00:26.14] |
and in another hand, |
| [00:27.86] |
I'll have this hi-tech shark billy. |
| [00:30.47] |
And then it's just a matter of giving them a little poke |
| [00:33.98] |
to let them know that you're alive and capable of defending yourself. |
| [00:38.43] |
Narration: The moment of truth had arrived. |
| [00:41.56] |
Mark: Bird on the water, |
| [00:43.81] |
80 yards to the right. |
| [00:45.62] |
Narration: It was time to swim with tiger sharks. |
| [00:55.28] |
Pulling the boat up at a respectful distance from the bird, |
| [00:59.19] |
the divers' final approach was from underwater. |
| [01:04.25] |
To stop any surprise attacks from a shark beneath them, |
| [01:07.81] |
they hugged the sea bed. |
| [01:12.79] |
But the bird was long gone. |
| [01:14.88] |
They waited back-to-back for a tiger shark to show. |
| [01:19.57] |
None did. But as they surfaced, a shark appeared |
| [01:29.00] |
Mark: Right behind you! Shark right behind you! |
| [01:31.65] |
Richard: It's a pretty intimidating sight to see a shark that big and that fat. |
| [01:39.53] |
it's a huge girth, absolutely incredible girth. |
| [01:41.95] |
