Did you see that shark?

READ THE TEXT BELOW BEFORE OPENING THE PIC.
Family on holiday in Australia for a week and a half when husband,
wifeand their 15 year old son decided to go scuba diving. The husband isinthe navy and has had some scuba experience.
His son wanted a pic of his mum and dad in all their gear so got the
underwater camera. When it came to taking the pic the dadrealized that the son look like he was panicking as he took it and gavethe "OK" hand sign to see if he was alright.

The son took the pic and swam to the surface and back to the boat as
quick as he could so the mum and dad followed to see if he was OK.Whenthey got back to him he was scrambling onto the boat and absolutely sh1tting himself.

When the parents asked why he said "there was a shark behind you"
andthe dad thought he was joking but the skipper of the boat said it was true and that they wouldn't believe him if he told them what it was.

As
soon as they got back to the hotel they put the pic onto the laptopandthis is what they saw.

It's probably on snopes, but it makes a great tale anyway!

Look at the lighting. The people are lit from the top/left/rear with an even light (as you can see in the reflections on her mask, back of his right hand. The light on the shark is mottled and straigt down from the top.

plus sharks can't hover so it would have swam past them if it was that close when the picture was taken
