Return of the Megalodon?

Generally speaking, GWS get to approx 6m/20' and don't get much longer, just wider. Stories of mini-buses underwater are not uncommon from those that do the cage dive trips.

Whoa, wait a mo'. No one told me nothing about minibuses. Do you know how many people those things kill? They're bloody dangerous! I'm staying out of the water until that minibus has been caught. No WAY am I diving with one of those in the water.

That's right. Mini-buses with highly advanced prey detection systems

I'm going diving with GWS snacks on Monday (seals). You can be sure my shark shield will be pinging away!Ile Des Phoques - Island Ocean Charters

Well, if you're going to disguise yourself as a seal and hang around feeding zones, not a bad idea.

Not much point to one round my way, despite what the press think. We always get a few Big 'n Biteys hanging around the whale migration, but sightings around dive sites are extremely rare. Plenty of bull-sharks in the rivers, though.

I've never seriously worried about GWS diving in Tassie, but I think the bull sharks in QLD would be of more concern! While GWS are considered to be the biggest 'threat' to humans, anecdotally, bulls are probably responsible for more hits.
