  • First mistake, should have stayed vertical instead of horizontal, and not let it swim this close. The shark was circling for a while and getting closer and closer each time. And the last mistake was letting it swim past without having eye contact. All this made the shark want to check if this was a prey or not, alas the bite. Guide should have informed them better of the sharks behaviours beforeha
