Great White Sharks at Zinkwazi Beach
4.2m Great White Shark at Zinkwazi Beach
The last thing you want to hear about is the big Great White Shark caught in the shark nets at Zinkwazi Beach.
What makes it even more scary and not a freak thing is that they caught another one today of 2.8m!!
Just the view to make you want to go swim!!
Apparently these are female sharks, they caught and released the 4.2m one the day before but it returned and died in the nets yesturday. The second one was smaller only 2.8m ...it would have to bite mybe twice to swollow you!!
I think that the cold upwelling of water we have been experiencing has some hand in this freak occurrence. Not that we dont get Great White Sharks here, just not 2 in 2 days.
Not so happy to be dangeling my toes tomorrow morning!!

Gnarly. For someone who wants to get into spearfishing this isn't helping Chris.
Cheers
Note the increased frequency of whites being seen or encountered by divers, spearos and surfers - this increase in encounters will only rise as the juvenile whites increase in numbers - I fear that humans will be attacked more in years to come especially near areas where shark cage diving is practised as the sharks respomt to boat motors as dinner bells.
My sone is getting most excitred about spearfishing - the tragic part is he is only 5.5years old - by the time he is 18 - what will the white population be and how safe will it be to go diving?
It is a bit of a spooky thought!
Hi Chris
thanks for the pics and thats interesting- Zink`s seems to be a hotspot for them, dont know how many divers are aware that a lot of great whites frequent the Zinkwazi-Richards bay area, must be some sort of migration or territorial pattern that they are frequently found here and on Highpoints off Mtinzini and also there have been a few spearo encounters with them in this area over the years.

You are more likely to get killed by a car than get nabbed by one of these beauties. The thing is if you are a surfer or a diver you've been close to them in the water so many times but just didn't know it.
man-o-man these sharks are HUGE
