I have personally been cage diving in that exact location.
FUCK NO!! I have never seen so many sharks in one location, much less fucking HUGE ass Great Whites! It was awesome in the cage, but fuck being in open water at night!!! |

I swim laps and do 25 meters in 20 seconds leisurely.
In that situation I suspect id make a cool mil in roughly 10-15 seconds. Or die. |

My 50yrd freestyle with flip turn is something like 26 seconds.
Jumping off a boat means I clear the first 5 yards before I hit the water. I will be at the other boat in less then 12 seconds. So unless the fish finder is pinging hot I am going to be out of the water before the shark recognizes the splash. |

Knowing how rare shark attacks really are... And growing up around the ocean... I would do it... I’m not afraid of the ocean, and I’ve been in the water and up close with sharks before. So I agree with you, in most any other situation involving sharks....... But the OP’s example isn’t swimming a random patch of water at a random time. It’s about a place where large great whites congregate in large numbers for the express purpose of feeding on animals at the surface. That changes the game for me. I wouldn’t do it. |
