I would hypothetically like to swim with a great white shark

Don't swim with maneaters?

And shark's won't attack unprovoked but they will nibble if they're curious. Unfortunately a big shark's nibble is more than enough to kill a man.

Anyway thrill seekers have swum alongside Great Whites just fine. There doesn't seem to be any extreme danger but if the shark comes towards you you're completely fucked.

I'd love to swim with some too. I just think sharks are cute. For some reason

>Does it attack unprovoked?
I depends on the shark
i remember seeing this documentary where this guy wanted to swim with sharks but had to test how they reacted touching their snout. depending on their reaction he could say if it was safe to swim with them

Look I get that it's a cool and dangerous, edgy thing to do, and that it would be super gnarly to tell all your friends (probably repeatedly) that you 'swam with a great white' but unless you're in a cage I strongly suggest you dont. They tend to eat large food-looking items. Just watch a James Bond movie if you want to feel cool for a couple hours.

How old are you?

How young are you? James Bond is awesome. No matter how young/old you are. Unless you're under 18. Or female.

Go shark-watching in a cage. It's no use someone on the internet telling you that on average, sharks attack after 3.47 minutes of human company and the best indicator is a 20% increase in the lateral movement of the tail fin and a tendency to swim counter-clockwise. Even if there was enough data to have a good estimate, do you think you could read the body language of something as alien as a shark through several feet of water? Do you trust that you won't meet a shark that is exceptionally hungry or already agitated due to some other reason? If you do spot the 'tell' that means it's about to attack, how do you plan on out-swimming an oceanic apex predator? Sharks don't seem strongly motivated to deliberately prey on humans and hunt them down, but neither are they shy, intelligent and gentle creatures that would never harm a human without being provoked. There will always be a risk.

Why the fuck can't you just go shark cage diving like a normal person?
