  • I was on this shark dive in Fiji. The guy who almost lost his head is one of shark wranglers. They are the ones who feed the sharks, or prod them away with metal poles. They are the local Fijians. The customers are in a line behind a nice barrier of coral. You can actually see this group in the video as well. I was behind this barrier, stuck my head out to take a picture, which a bull shark spotte
