This week’s video shows a routine cleaning dive at one of the world’s largest aquariums turns into an unusually close encounter (starting at 5:03) with a shiver of otherwise-docile sand tiger sharks (Carcharias taurus). My buddy ended up shutting down my camera as sharks are sensitive to electric signals.

This clip was filmed using a GoPro Hero2 camera with native underwater housing mounted to an OTS Guardian full-face mask using a universal rail slide and a GoPro bicycle mount.
