Great White Shark Bursts Through African Waters
September 16, 2009 11:48AM

I can still clearly see a number of the breaches in my mind. For these events you just have to be looking in the right spot at the right time. Very often we will hear someone shout out in amazement and we will know that we have missed something pretty spectacular. They only breach once, so lucky for those that see it. Now the bad thing is as that these natural breaches tend to happen close to the boat there is a real possibility of a shark landing in the boat with us. This would probably be a fatal event for the shark and a good possibility of terrible injuries for us on board.
On one of our trips in July a 4 meter male did a full breach a meter from our boat and landed against the side of it. Very fortunately, the shark landed back in the water but it gave us all a big scare. We have had a guest spend the whole month with us and he was the one who was eye-ball to eye-ball with the shark…I did not see him spending too much time sitting on the gunnels of the boat after that!
