A family were on holiday in Australia for a week and a half when husband, wife and their 15 year old son decided to go scuba diving. The husband is in the navy and has had some scuba experience. His son wanted a picture of his mum and dad in all their gear so he got the under water camera ready to go. When it came to taking the picture the dad realized that the son looked like he was panicking as he took it and gave the ‘OK’ hand sign to see if he was all right.

The son took the picture 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. When they got back to him he was scrambling onto the boat and
absolutely panicking. When the parents asked why, he said ‘there
was a shark behind you.’ The dad thought he was joking but the skipper of the boat said it was true but they wouldn’t believe him.

As soon as they got back to the hotel they loaded the picture onto the laptop and that was what they saw.


You think this is real? I don't because there is no way the son and the mom and dad could surface that quickly without feeling ill effects of decompression sickness..

Fake.

Decompression only happens below a certain depth.

The son could be certified to dive as he's 15 and requirements are 10 and 12 for NAUI and PADI. Dunno what other countries' requirements are, but it just looks fake in the picture.

google says 2 seconds to debunk.

It's fake. That link Equal posted has the original, unedited version of the shark.

It was merely placed behind an innocent underwater picture of a couple for a contest and someone decided to put a story behind it.
