Anita Ong in the midst found in a dive with friends of more than 200 sharks again. What would be for others a nightmare that was for you, but pure fascination.
Anita Ong wanted to dive two weeks ago with friends after a so-called “shark school” – a large group of sharks that moved in a pack to continue. Her husband Nick had watched as the animals a day before, as they swam in front of the North Stradbroke Island near Brisbane around. “To see something like that is very rare. In the eleven years since I started diving, I’ve seen it in Australia before,” says Anita of the newspaper “Daily Mail”. “We wanted to try to find the sharks again and went for a dive. We found a huge school,” she says.
Of sharks surrounded
Her husband Nick had just exposed to a buoy for marking the surface, and Anita wanted to show up, as the sharks appeared. “One, two, ten, 20, 50, 100. Everywhere were sharks!”, Anita Ong, Australian media says. You have looked around, in order to give your friends a sign, but had not looked in their direction. In the hope that they would see but, have you started to film the spectacle, while she gave the hand sign. Her husband also filmed the Events. The video recording shared Anita on Vimeo. The title translates to “wall of black sharks”.
“As I made a 360 degree turn around, I saw that there were sharks in every direction around me, above and below me have,” she told the Daily Mail. You have known your friends from your remote, but this opportunity was so unique, that you want to follow them don’t have.
Pure Fascination
So the 38 was found-Year-old alone of sharks surrounded in 20 meters depth. They have, however, had at no time fear, she reveals the Daily Mail. “I was happy because I knew what a rare experience this was.” The Schwarzhaie are normally very shy and would let the air bubbles of the oxygen tanks quickly distribute. The sharks were gentle and curious. Some would also come to see who or what it was, “but they are easily frightened by loud noises or sudden movements,” explains Anita.
It is suspected that the size of the group gave the animals courage and peace, so that you would have them scared, no fear. Estimated it had been at least 200 sharks around you. Your friends would not have seen them all, because they swam above. “The sharks remained the whole time with me,” says Anita, “even as I appeared up to twelve meters, the sharks are still there.”
An appeal to common sense
In Australia, this year there were seven deaths caused by shark attacks, and a number of wounded. Anita Ong says in an interview with the Daily Mail that they believe the attacks could be reduced by more education of the population to the eating habits of sharks. She was against the violence and moderate the sea, Expel the inhabitants and calls for more “common sense”. “The people should not go out at dawn into the water, or in the dawn surf,” she says. “Or go for a swim, when a large bait is in the water, or when the whales are in the area because sharks will follow you.”
It is very dangerous to stop the periods referred to in the water. “We should teach the people, so that sharks and humans can coexist in the same space.” Most sharks are completely harmless and difficult to reach, she says. “I’m more afraid of jellyfish than sharks, but you can’t catch me anyway, as I swim in the Morning or evening twilight, on the surface.”
