On November 4th we had an incident that was pretty darned exciting. CC,
or Cut Caudal, one of our regular sharks, accidentally ran into one of
the main cages on the Searcher. CC came up nearly vertical about 20
feet away from the cage and grabbed one of the hang baits, which he is
known to do on a regular basis. However, on this particular day he swam
right into the portside cage's viewing window. As CC took the bait he
instinctively rolled his eyes back, couldn't see where he was going and
accidentally swam directly into the viewing window. CC's entire head
went inside the cage and he was stopped just short of his pectoral
fins. Well, we all know that white sharks have no reverse and CC was
too far in to turn around. He tried to turn, but he could not quite get
his snout to clear the corner. He rolled on his side and began to
thrash up and down trying to free himself. Being a rather large white
shark he just ended up making the opening bigger by simply removing the
front of the cage so he could get out of the cage. CC literally removed
all the lower front vertical bars and the horizontal bar that connects
all of the vertical bars to the main frame of the front cage panel and
then swam away. What was amazing is that it took only about 10 seconds
to do this. What was even more amazing was that there were 2 divers in
the cage at the time and they thought that this was the coolest thing
they had ever experienced and walked away completely unscathed. The
divers also said that CC was just fine too!
We were all very
relieved that no one was injured. We were also pleased that our divers
listened to the safety briefing prior to diving and followed the
instructions and evacuated the cage when this incident occurred. One
diver utilized the emergency escape hatch and somehow managed to film
the entire event. We learned something from this and we will take
appropriate measures to prevent this from happening again.
When we said, "You can get face-to-face with the ultimate predator" this is not what we had in mind!
The
Searcher's cages are 6 years old now and we have learned a great deal
since we first built them. We are going to take this opportunity to
design and build new state-of-the-art cages that will be safer and
stronger. We will unveil the new cages in spring 2008." Great White

I love how people like to think these animals are so dangerous. Here is
a fun fact for all of you scared of sharks, did you know that, to
sharks, we are very untasty? It's true. Also a shark doesn't attack on
purpose, it's just an accident. They see someone on a surf board and
their feet paddling, which looks like fins from below, and they think
it's a seal so they attack.? Shark are not monsters like the movies
make them out to be.
