no way if that shark had been hungry would he have lasted longer than 30 seconds.

Still hungry or not just the fact that in 1 split second that shark could snap and shred his ass with those teeth is enough to make most people terrified of being in the water with them.

Or maybe most people dont understand that sharks arent very agressive creatures and its not unusual for people to swim with them.
Medias mostly created the misconception that theyre all blood thirsty.
Guys still a badass though.

yeah and he was fucking with him when he swam at him and he pushed his nose up... it kind of reminded me of playing with a really big dog.
i bet they forgot to put the segment in where he gets thrashed by the shark

The nose of a shark is so jammed full of sensory organs and receptors that if you touch it and push away, like the dude did, the shark wants nothing to do with that pressure and tries to get away. That's why a widespread deterrent to a shark attack is to start pounding the nose of the beast if it gets too close, because it won't like that one bit. The shark was going pretty slow, so it had to ark off to get away from the dude's hand, knowing that a shark can't stop swimming or backtrack.
also, if you've ever seen a shark get put upside down, it goes into a trance like state, so all of this may contribute to the "sedated effect".
Really, this dude knows exactly what he's doing. Like, when that one shark got a bit too nosy, he goes right at it, no wavering, to show the shark he means business. If you swim away and otherwise act like prey would, you'd have been "taste tested" right there, but the guy holds and the shark doesn't test his luck in case the guy attacked himself. The shark doesn't know what to make of this thing in the water, so for all it knows he could be competition.
