[00:00.14]Narration: The weather cleared up, but there was a new problem .
[00:04.30]Richard: A big tiger shark came in.
[00:07.82]From your perspective, I think you could see him more clearly than I.
[00:11.23]It was so poor visibility down there that I could just make it out,
[00:15.13]but I could see it was a pretty big one.
[00:17.71]Mark: Visibility's gone down to about five feet.
[00:20.12]That's just not safe enough to dive with these big tiger sharks.
[00:22.81]So we're gonna have to call off the dive team. Very disappointing.
[00:31.44]Narration: The poor underwater visibility didn't seem to stop the sharks
[00:35.25]from finding their prey, giving John some concerns .
[00:38.64]John: I've got very mixed feeling about this,
[00:42.22]because I don't really want to see the albatrosses eaten,
[00:45.11]but that's what I'm here to film.
[00:47.26]You can't help wishing the albatrosses will get away each time.
[00:49.48]I sort of cheer inside when they do. There's a shark, right in the shallows!
[00:56.89]Narration: John continued to film the action.
[00:58.42]But it was another three days
[01:03.51]before the visibility cleared sufficiently to make diving safe again.
[01:11.19]After days of practice,
[01:30.87]Richard was finally getting to the birds ahead of the sharks,
[01:36.31]yet, still no success .
[01:38.21]Woman: What did you see?
[01:39.29]Richard: The albatross gave us the run-around for a while,
[01:42.50]and then he finally decided he'd had enough of us and flew away.
[01:48.66]Narration: But why didn't the sharks take the bird?
[01:51.26]Were they now avoiding the divers ?
[01:54.01]Doug: Whatever senses they're using,
[01:55.43]they've shown us that they want to stay away from us.
[01:59.74]Narration: Over the next two days,
[02:00.93]Doug's theory was confirmed,
[02:02.81]and Richard realised he had little to fear.
[02:06.74]Richard: The sharks are not interested in us.
[02:08.95]They're only interested in a slightly oilier substance
[02:12.21]in the form of a nice, fat, juicy albatross.
