Those guys kept pretty cool. 
I think I would have blasted away through that gill plate.  :smt012

Yeah buddy...note the accelerated breathing on the diver's recording.  They handled it well.

talk about a close encounter.in not as brave as those guys i wouldve shot it and swam for the boat.than i would go see my doctor so he can pull my balls out of my stomach
My biggest worry is that my wife(when I'm dead)will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it

saw this on the other thread. Impressive.

NOT shooting it AND keeping their heads saved one or both of them from injury.

I'm imagining myself in the water with that shark...at what point do I decide that when it turns in my direction that it is going into bite mode and pull my trigger to shoot it in the eye and try and get it to go the F away....

I agree Sean that they played it 100% right...but if the shark had moved into bite and they hadn't got a shot off than maybe I would think different?

Having two of them there together definitely helped as well!!
