For the most part, they're not interested in humans, as you can tell in the vid.. he literally swam 3 feet away from me and kept on chugging.. I'd agree its a weird feeling the first couple of times swimming or diving with them... I remember standing in the boat in Bora Bora with Blacktips circling the boat and the guy telling me to jump in.. kinda weird.. and you definitely look around you for a while, but soon get comfortable with them..
Nowadays I jump in and I look for them.. Hopefully I can get back to following them soon.. I did shoot another vid of this shark where I tried to follow for a bit, but soon realized it wasn't gonna happen.. I'll post that one soon..
Also shot some cool dolphin vids on the last dive of the trip - they put on quite a display for us out in the wild..
Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
