You would be if you were the 1 HUMAN ;-)

Yeah not too many of those in Lough Neagh, and you don't get a many of these either!!

Blueys Beach is North of you though !
Here's a great pic taken there on Sunday while the kids were in surf school.
Estimated 3 metre white pointer.

A buddy of mine who surfs most days pointed out that at any given time they reckon there is a shark never farther than 200m away from you. Keeps you humble :-)

As a dad and a diver it will keep me regular - did they suspend the surf school?

Twinset

No, they did not !

Former professional surfer Gary Hughes, who runs Gary Hughes Surface School of Surf and Surf Consultancy, said he was aware of the shark and had been monitoring it.

"I did not tell the students because they just would have worried," Mr Hughes, 50, said.

"It was just having a cruise, it wasn't showing attack behaviour."

If that was the UK, there would be a public enquiry.......3m great white is a juvenile so no sweat....

Chimes with another story I saw about 16 juveniles observed of North Oz coast...over couple of hours!

Think they are mainly fish eaters at that size. Gonna have to go see them to desensitize: would prefer my first encounter to be with a cage wrapped round me!!

There are thousands of Bullsharks in the Brisbane river and all round the SEQ coast.

They have always been there and they are dangerous.

Seems like the media are having a field day with this one

G

Yeah the bulls pups chase the mullet up river and then grow to bloody big sharks.... I heard of 2 bulls attacking a horse in the brisbane

For a spectacular experience you can go diving in a grey nurse shark breeding ground off Nelsons Bay. Absolutely amazing. BTW they are harmless. In Sydney there are heaps of Wobbygongs which you can see snorkling.

Man-called-horse u might get a few in newry canal lmao or that love rostrevor shore line lol.That looked so like my mother in law u caught same big mouth and pointy nose lmao

Yes....and this is why the sharks are so angry.....

I have to say I think these diving with shark experiences, whether scuba or in a tank is possibly one of the stupidest things ever imagined. The sharks obviously get used to the fact that they will get food in these situations so they are encouraged to give people a thrill. Therefore people = food and they start coming closer and closer and the general public are not there with food, they become the food.

Rostrevor!! Love the place

Which reminds me of a funny story.

My Aussie GF grew up in the suburb of Carlingford in Sydney, and when my brother got married last year he had the reception in Four Seasons in Carlingford in Co. Louth.

I never told her until we arrived a few days before the wedding to deliver wine to the hotel of which I said welcome to the 'real' Carlingford.

Got a great pic too.

Hope it wasn't man_called_Horse

No food is given to the sharks on this dive. They are just around the area. To get there you have to go on a boat for 45 mins and it is not somewhere non divers tend to go. Grey nurse sharks do not attack people and the philosophy of the dive is to look at a distance and do not touch. That goes for the other sea life as well. When I went the sea was too rough around the breeding ground but they were swimming around the sheltered part of the island. To see one of these magnificent creatures swimming above you is something else.
