Date: 2022-01-29

Great white sharks have long been considered man-eating sharks for their occasional attacks on humans. The international shark attack file, however, estimates that worldwide, sharks kill between 5 and 6 humans annually. In this episode, the shark panel dives into the world of great white shark and human interactions. 

The panel reviewed three famous video clips filmed by SCUba divers and free divers that highlight interactions (of varying levels of aggression) between great white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) and human skin divers and SCUBA divers. What is the nature of these interactions, what does the shark and humans reveal in their behavior, and what is the true level of danger faced by these humans.
