Great White breaching...

I watched a doc on these guys. Amazing stuff. They drag a seal dummy behind the boat to encourage the animals to breach. Worked in California, South Africa, and Australia.

Yes, the dummy seal.

You see, the photographers knew sharks in South Africa breached frequently, but in other parts of the world it was far less common behavior. They wanted to see if the sharks in California and Australia are capable of the same behavior when presented the seal. It worked every time, like a charm.

As long as you don't look like a seal, you're fine.
