Diver Has Close Encounter With Tiger Shark in the Bahamas
Underwater photographer and videographer Szilard Janko captured video of diver Nikki Brady’s close encounter with a tiger shark in the Bahamas on February 4.
The video shows the tiger shark approaching Brady, and her reacting by gently touching the shark’s nose to direct it away from her.
Janko told Storyful it is important for divers to make eye contact and remain calm when a shark swims too close to them.
“Tiger sharks can get curious, but they are not out to eat people, as the movies and media have made them seem,” Janko said. “Having said that, don’t attempt to try this without professional shark divers or a proper shark diving eco-tourism company.” Credit: Szilard Janko via Storyful
