| [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. |
| [02:16.31] |
