@@randyjax09 The shark encountered me while I was motionless and swam away when I nearly kicked it in the head. Literally a masterclass in observational awareness and reaction speed.
From the 360 video, when i'm in the editing software, it looks like it's swimming directly toward my bright aqua tipped fins! Also it may have detected the electrical signal of the camera being turned on. Because it comes in within seconds of me powering it up!
You are swimming in the ocean and encounter a shark, what do you do: A: stay still whilst trying to make eye contact with the shark B: dive under water C: splash around and make as much noise as possible
@@SlytherSnake when you encounter this particular shark, you explode with power as it comes within striking distance. There's even video evidence that it works.
@@RogerEssigArtist yeah now you mention, easy to judge from the sideline I would've probably panicked as well but hey I'm a CZcams commenter and we're all experts here!
@@nicholasjordan3217 me being stationary is what attracted it. When I reacted incredibly fast within 2 seconds, i scared it away. There's even video proof!
@@RogerEssigArtist Didn’t mean to come across or sound overly critical of you here! But you made my heart skip a beat! You really had me sweatin through the rest of that video! Glad you made it out brother!! I wasn’t able to catch it, but what kind of shark was that anyway?
its a bit of a dilemma.....see the shark & get the hell out of there when in fact he might just be curious; on the other hand are u triggering his hunter instinct by "running" like prey would, which by the way u may have been
There's literally video evidence my response was utterly brilliant. My shear fast reflexes startled the fish as it realized i was too powerful to attempt to bite.
Hard to say. Maybe 300 metres? It took me 10 minutes to paddle back to shore, (no waves came) but I was a bit flustered, so didn't navigate the rips very efficiently.
You get into their environment, and then crap yourself when one shows up. I’m just surprised that it wasn’t subsequently hunted and killed for threatening you like that.
A masterclass in what not to do when you encounter a shark.

From a sitting duck to a trolling bait.
geez that was close....glad your safe Roger
Yea, if u see a shark tho the opposite of what he just did PLEASE !!!
My extremely fast reaction discouraged the sevengill from investigating further. There's even video evidence.
The shark probably was attracted to all the squeaks you made while adjusting the camera. It would give off vibes like a struggling fish underwater.

@RogerEssigArtist they're just curious mate. They are much more surprised to see you believe me.
@@latchie8893 they test their curiosity with their mouths
@@RogerEssigArtist true. Thankfully you don't taste nice to sharks. However by the time the shark realises that you're usual in 3 or 4 pieces
that was a giant tadpole
@@roleplayingpain4349 that sounds way more terrifying than a shark.

So that’s what you do when you see a shark? Way to tempt fate guy! Glad your alright!! 👍

@@robertfunk2796 and that all has to be decided within 2 seconds. That's the exact amount of time I had from noticing it to potential bite.
@@RogerEssigArtist just happy u got out of there; I'd be flipping out if I saw that in the water
When you realize that you're on the menu..
@@kenamaro3942 The deep instinct I felt of being hunted was because of its approach angle.
So… you saw the shark and decided to ring the dinner bell?
@@sdarms111doug9 The video literally proves what I did was incredible. My superior fast reaction time scared the shark away. 😎
@@RogerEssigArtist 😎
@@RogerEssigArtist I would literally have sent out a cloud of brown "ink" to confuse it.
Wow, perfect response....every expert will agree ...no they wouldn't.....
There's literally video evidence my response was utterly brilliant. My shear fast reflexes startled the fish as it realized i was too powerful to attempt to bite.
@@RogerEssigArtist lol tbh the wake you created was enough to push all ocean life away lol
@@leeg713 🤣
paying gunna a visit again this week, out of curiosity - how far out from shore were you?
Hard to say. Maybe 300 metres? It took me 10 minutes to paddle back to shore, (no waves came) but I was a bit flustered, so didn't navigate the rips very efficiently.
@@RogerEssigArtist gotcha, wow that would’ve been so gnarly I can’t even imagine haha - glad you live to tell the story mate :)
Finally on camera
What surprises me is how these people are always surprised to see a shark
Every shark in the universe is currently outside your room.
lol, I would love see your reaction if it happens to you mate
Oh my lordy
Where was this?
Glade you are fine btw
Gunnamatta, Victoria Australia.

@@Bobster1755 do you say that to seals too!?
Lul
هذا تصرف خاطىء تماما
الفيديو يثبت أنه كان سلوكًا مثاليًا
If you look closely you can see a brown trail in the water as he is swimming away,lol
@@equalizer7775 i didn't scare the shark that much!
