Playful encounter
This is probably one of the most amazing videos I’ve ever seen. A couple of warnings before you click, though:
1. It’s a shark encounter. Not the usual - this one is like watching someone play with an oversized puppy.
2. The audio starts automatically and is set to LOUD.
3. You may find it a time suck. I’ve watched it three times.
I’ve done a little diving in the waters around Hawaii. I’ve been down there with sharks a few times. It’s always been on night dives and my buddies know where the sharks like to hang out after dark in the caverns off of Makaha Surf Beach. I’ve admired them and kept my distance. I’ve never been frightened of them, but I’ve never done what you’re about to watch either. It’s a pretty safe bet that I never will. Enjoy! An, um … don’t try this at home!
I found the video while visiting over at my friends Briggs and Carol’s place. They’re local realtors and client’s, so if you take a look at their web site (a click away from their blog) you’ll probably see a place or two that I inspected for them. Nice folks. You should go say hello!

That is the craziest thing I’ve seen in a long time, I wouldn’t be anywhere near that thing!

Mahalo for stopping in on a non-GTS day, Kate. Yeah, that video is major cool. I just keep re-watching when I should be doing chores, lol!

I’m not interested in getting up close and personal either, Court, but it’s really amazing to watch.

That guy’s either really brave or really stupid.

Perhaps equal measure of each, Lisa!
