Return to Tedverse the FCC coming up at 435 right after emails on our question. What happened to make it a day you'll always remember or never forget.

206-803 Rock, we head to Nova Scotia Canada. Oh, hello. A diver had quite a story to share and show when he came back to Maine after a dip in the ocean off the coast of Nova Scotia.

John Brooks and his wife Luann were vacationing with her neighbors in late

August. Now while there, John signed up to do some scuba diving with torpedo rays. My initial plan was to

go there and just work on buoyancy for the most part. Well, a few minutes into a third dive off of

a Fox Point Beach, things got interesting.

We're about 18 to 20 feet down in the water. As I'm sitting there, lying there, actually,

my buddy, my instructor gives me a tug on my vest, my B, CD. He starts pointing, and I look

around to where it is, it's gray matter, whatever. Next thing I know, I see an incredibly huge shark.

Now, that big shark was cut on camera by their companion, Kirk Yang, but it was very interested

in John and his diving partner.

Again, he grabs me by the vest and we're kicking back, so we're both kicking back,

and this shark is just circling us,

coming in and out of the gray, in and out of the darkness.

At one time he comes over us and you can see his jaws wide open.

You can see his teeth.

I'm thinking, whoa, this is bad.

Whoa.

And yet, John, and the entire diving crew remain calm. What are you going to do? Hope you're faster than the guy next to you. That's all you can do, yeah. John said he learned from another instructor during a dive a few years back. You should stay low if you encounter a shark. And that's what they did this time. Stay low like how? What, like down toward the bottom? All right. You tend to want to kick up, and as you're kicking up, you're making noise and moving water, and that tends to get their attention quicker. Now, if you're low, from what I understand, they don't bother you. But if you go up, they tend to like to attack from below. Yes. So this is what I've been told.

Not that I'm positive on this, but I've been told that. We're going to try out that experiment to find out one way or the other, though, and swim up. John and his instructor put their arms together, facing opposite directions to keep an eye on the circling shark as they swam back to shore. As for the relaxing getaway with his wife, Luann was waiting on the shore, having seen the shark fin circling them. She was freaking

out, I guess. She was quite concerned. It's a dive. They say John Waltz suit, forget, keeping things

calm and collected in the face of an apex predator. Whatever I think about it, I do still have
