Allegedly a true story - An Australian, his wife and their 15 year old son were on holiday. The Father was a keen scuba diver, as was his wife, and the son wanted to get an "action shot" of them both in their scuba gear. They all entered the water from a support boat, the son armed with an underwater camera to capture the picture. Just as the son was framing the shot, Dad noticed his son panicking, and swimming rapidly to the surface. Worried that he was in trouble, Dad and Mum followed him, and broke surface to see him scrambling into the boat in a state of sheer terror! It transpired that as the son was framing the shot, he noticed a shark coming up behind Mum and Dad. Nothing further was said, but later that evening, they uploaded the picture from the camera onto their laptop, and this is what they saw!!

Probably the best laxative in the world!!

Enlarge the picture for best results!

if this is a true story they were really lucky they were not bitten and eaten by that shark. Is it true ?

Now is this picture really real ?????? the shark looks strangely BIG too big actually and the other strange thing is that the shark must have been really full not to even toutch them beeing so close to them. My opinion ...

Oranos, no sir, I am not a vet. I was a pilot for many years, and as I'm now retired that makes me a veteran - hence sky and vet!

I can't vouch for whether this is trick photography or not (which is why I put "allegedly" at the start of the text) but it was sent to me from a very reliable source.

You're far more likely to get hit by a bull or tiger shark than a great white. They're far more aggressive and will eat anything. If this shark saw them as prey, one of them would've been hit as great whites are known to go after fast moving prey like tuna and dolphins.

That said, any time you get away alive from a situation like that, you should consider that you may have fewer than 9 lives left...
