Nautilus Liveaboards runs a very safe and very fun trip. From the first moment I stepped foot in a shark cage, I was comfortable and relaxed.

An even larger female came and hung around after “Lucy” left. Everyone was amazed by her sheer size and confidence cruising slowly and attempting to get the bait and keeping the wranglers on their toes.

Once again we had action non-stop all day long. At one point you could see 6 sharks in the same frame, but we had at least 10 different sharks throughout the day.

Deep Scratches and Fresh Wounds on a Female Great White Shark

  • Post author By Nautilus Staff
  • Post date 2007-10-02
By Nautilus Staff on October 2nd, 2007 in Archive, Captain Mike, Guadalupe

Great white sharks are considered to have “adaptive intelligence” and learn lessons as they try out new behaviour – a trait which is presumably very useful to an apex predator. Adaptive intelligence seemed to be at work here as this white shark learned that he could “sneak up” on the throw lines without the wranglers on the back deck seeing him. That is, until he brushed up against a sacrificial zinc on the hull of the Nautilus and scratched himself, which in turn seemed to end his experimentation with this new type of behaviour.
