[starttext]A 2 ton, 15 foot Great White shark attack into the cage and brakes through the bars. This videos was filmed on November 4th somewhere in Mexico by Patrick Walsh, one of few divers that utilized the emergency escape hatch and somehow managed to film the entire incident that was pretty darned exciting. Divers could learned something from this and take appropriate measures to prevent this from happening again.
The video show us how the shark, accidentally ran into one of the main cages on the Searcher then came up nearly vertical about 20 feet away from the diving cage and grabbed one of the hang baits, which he is known to do on a regular basis. However, on this particular day he swam right into the portside cage's viewing window. As the shark took the bait he instinctively rolled his eyes back, couldn't see where he was going and accidentally swam directly into the viewing window.
The sharks entire head went inside the cage and he was stopped just short of his pectoral fins. Well, we all know that white sharks have no reverse and its was too far in to turn around. He tried to turn, but he could not quite get his snout to clear the corner. He rolled on his side and began to thrash up and down trying to free himself. Being a rather large white shark he just ended up making the opening bigger by simply removing the front of the cage so he could get out of the cage.
What was even more amazing was that there were 2 divers in the cage at the time and they thought that this was the coolest thing they had ever experienced and walked away completely unscathed. The divers also said that the shark was just fine too!
No one was injured. Its very important for divers listened to the safety briefing prior to diving and followed the instructions and evacuated the cage when the shark attack incident occurred.
