Sucks he had to kill that shark.

Very sad. Sharks don't reproduce the thousands(millions) of offspring like other fish. Slow to grow and mature sexually.

Agreed. The diver did not want to shoot the Tiger shark and was upset about it.

Bummer...I guess they had no choice.

Heres a link to quotes from the divers in the SWB incident.

Yeah a true shame that is a beautiful tigershark. I think GWS' are the most beautiful animals on this planet. If it came down to survival though I pick me over the shark. That's if I ever stood a chance against a shark. The diver felt bad he had no choice he helped the other guy live to tell a tale.
