I'm more than happy to watch Shark Week, but what happened to these divers off the coast of Guadalupe Island is utterly terrifying.
When scientists and divers descend into the ocean in cages, their philosophy is simple: you don't mess with us, we don't mess with you. Usually, sharks and other sea creatures go on about their business like the divers aren't even there. This up close and personal view of the ocean has taught researchers a great deal about marine life.
This female great white shark, however, was a little more curious than her friends. Disoriented by bubbles, she manages to get stuck in a cage containing three divers.
Fortunately, the crew was able to get the boat to shore safely. Rainer Schimpf, the boat's captain, gave an interview to MaxAnimal about the terrifying encounter
