After seeing Jaws, I wouldn’t even go swimming with sharks from inside a shark cage. Let alone without the cage. But some people are braver / stupider than I am.
A guy filmed his buddy diving into the ocean so he could touch what he thought was a basking shark. They are massive, but only eat plankton and don’t attack people.
Upon hitting the water, the guy immediately regrets his decision, shouting, “That was a bad idea!”
After accidentally touching the shark and making his way back to the boat, both the diver and his friend start to wonder if it’s actually a basking shark after all. “That’s not a basking shark, dude.”
Great whites and basking sharks are often mistaken for each other. Regardless of the species, it was definitely a bad idea, dude.
