Emma - Tiger Shark Supermodel

Comment by John Natoli on November 28, 2009 at 7:41am

Majestic Emma ... I sat down with a short black coffee to watch this ... which turned into a long black ... which then became 'Hey guys come and watch this' and so I watched it a second time with the family around me.

Mesmorising ... I had to pick up my jaw off the keyboard as I sat and watched this awesome video. BTW, love the music. Chris, thanks for sharing.

PS... My wife is a little peeved 'cause she reckons this was my 'hard sell' attempt to justify a trip to the Bahamas ...lol.

Thanks John.
I can't wait myself to go back myself.
Hopefully next year.
I will post another video that summarizes a week on the Shear Water with Jim.
Hopefully you can sell her into going with you....

By the way downloaded the iphone app.
Looking great
Just waiting for Vimeo to update.

Wow... What a fanatstic video. What a beautiful tiger, she seems as keen to see all of you as you guys are to see her. She keeps coming back for more after and ever pass.

Emma is truly amazing ! She comes in so close !...

As Jim often mentions it is hard sometimes to keep in mind that she is a predator ( some have felt the urge to hug her, I hear... Not a good idea...)

She does however have a life changing effect on people, mainly because her demeanor is so opposite from most preconceptions people have of a tiger shark of her size.

We saw a few 'tanks' during the time in south Africa last year too. They certainly are impressive animals, especially the bigger girls. Many a time we would see hand prints on the top of their heads as this seemed to be the best way to change the glide ratio between diver and shark. Bear in mind we were hovering for the duration of the dive between 5 and 10m over about 30m of water. Easier to get out of the way I imagine. Cheers.
