Michael Maier, 53, who captured the video on an expedition with Nautilus Explorer, said Deep Blue was 'very calm' during the chilling encounter. Sharks are not very interested in people, said Hueter, noting there have been very few encounters leading to injuries in Canada. Weighing an enormous 2.5 tonnes, the 50-year-old predator dwarfed the divers as they reached out to interact with the beast. "You have to think like a shark, and you have to remember that the ocean is a wild place, not a swimming pool," he said. While there is need for care, there is not a great deal of need for concern about sharks, said Hueter. "The shark came by, had a look at them, disappeared out of visibility, and then 20 or 30 seconds later came back for another look and another look." Staying safe "They had several encounters with, likely, the same shark," said Harvey-Clark. There was another encounter earlier this week, this time involving a charter boat with a dozen divers in the water. "The shark came in from deep water, had a look at her, she threw up her arms, and it turned around and hightailed it out of there," he said. Earlier this month a solo diver saw one in St. Scarring and other markings can also aid in identification.Īnd Harvey-Clark isn't the only one spotting sharks off the South Shore. Individual sharks can be identified by unique markings on their pelvic fins. Harvey-Clark will be using the pictures he took to develop a tool for identifying individual sharks. Halifax-based shark researcher, diver and veterinarian at Dalhousie University Chris Harvey-Clark is hearing about more great white shark sightings.
