Scuba diving in Australia
« on: 16 June 2008, 07:06:25 »

YOU HAVE TO READ THIS FIRST BEFORE LOOKING AT PICTURE.

Family on holiday in Australia for a week and a half when husband, wife and their 15 year old son decided to go scuba diving. The husband is in the navy and has had some scuba experience. His son wanted a picture of his mum and dad in all their gear so he got the under water camera ready to go. When it came to taking the picture the dad realized that the son looked like he was panicking as he took it and gave the 'OK' hand sign to see if he was all right.

The son took the picture and swam to the surface and back to the boat as quick as he could so the mum and dad followed to see if he was OK. When they got back to him he was scrambling onto the boat and absolutely panicking. When the parents asked why he said 'there was a shark behind you. The dad thought he was joking but the skipper of the boat said it was true but they wouldn't believe him. As soon as they got back to the hotel they loaded the picture onto the laptop and this is what they saw.

(Try and tell me you wouldn't have emptied your
Entire digestive system right at the point you saw it)

Would you have stayed to take the picture??

Maybe what saved there ass was that the shark wasn't hungry, they were in the water not on the surface, and there was no fear coming from them - only because they were not aware. Probably better that the kid didn't point for them to look behind them.

Actually, I thought the same, how could it turn and swim away with the parents having no knowledge. Also, if the shark is moving forwards, then it has to pass right by them.

Yeah totally...thing is its so huge it wouldn't be able to move without sending them flying. ;D

Good photoshop though..... ;D

Closet ive come too leaving my brekkie behind while swimming was having a sea snake pass right by me......frantic splashing and trying to exit the sea asap wasn't funny esp as the wife was standing on the beach screaming to get out of the water.

Oddly enough she found it amusing afterwards and went back out swimming/diving....whilst i sat on the beach trying to calm down. ;D
