Very frustrating that the camera kept going red and the footage would have been so much better without the red. Thanks to advice from Afogg im going to reformat my SD card and GoPro, being the awesome company that they are told me to send the camera in for a replacement so i plan on doing that next week
amazing! I agree with oneof the other replies…he wouldnt have seen me due to the large circle of brown I was surrounded by:smiley: lol…thanks for sharing the video!

Last years shark week showed guys diving on a wreck at night and the docile-by-day sand tigers were into the Dr Jekel sauce and were fast, agitated and aggressive once the sun went down.
They actually can move pretty fast when they want to. I have a friend on the west coast who works in an aquarium who swears they saw one eat a small blacktip. They kept losing blacktips, not knowing what was going on until someone finally saw it happen.
There used to be a lot more off of Folly from 30 ft. down to max. safe depth on live-bottom and wrecks/reefs but some have caught and killed them for some stupid reason.
There used to be a “calving ground” s.e. of the harbor but it was “fished out” when the “numbers” leaked out.
They serve no purpose as a sport fish. I wouldn’t want to dress-out one! As a diver–they’re basically big, fearsome-looking ***** cats. Those huge spike-like teeth are used for grabbing crabs and their favorite----stingrays. It is not uncommon to see them with a barb or two still in the jaw. In the “good sense of the word” they are basically “bottom feeders.” Carcharius taurus is a species of high conservation concern due to their low reproductive rate and their exploitation. Enjoy them and leave them alone. Look at them from underwater not from above.
I have feed sand tigers on several occasions and had to follow them around to get my shaft back and it has never crossed my mind to kill one. Just don’t let them fool you they can be fast and very aggressive. That being said I usually run them off the wreck by grabbing thier tail.

Originally posted by FishnBarrelsSkinne I am going to do my best to find a great white in december- the wreck where that sand tiger was is the stopping point for many sharks and i think the odds are good around that area- my spearfishing idol Mark Healey is a pro at riding the great whites so i hope to at least see one sometime- i guy saw one diving 170ft live bottom off central florida in July- you can find the video on youtube
I thought I was your Spearfishing Idol? 
I dove with Mark Healey once… Your better than that guy. He should stick to riding the surf.
When you get your boat back up and running, Ill be able to film you shooting grouper at your normal depth of 30m. Not sure if I can keep up with you on the deep Hogfish and bug catchin.

Yes, that is how the circle revovles. When can I take more video and photos of you freediving to 100ft for gags and Pompano? Id like to get a front page and spread shot for a magazine.

Good point. They have one of the most interesting conception/gestation/birth cycles in the natural world. One or two pups per year, for each adult female. Never more, and there is a good reason for that. Only the strong survive, and that is INSIDE of the womb.
