Good thing someone wasn't hungry.
It also helps if you are fearless, experienced, and know your environment.

Fish On Fridays. "Shawn, I'd Like To Introduce You To Mr. Big Teeth" (Video)

Hello my friend, I'd like to play with you a bit.
I don't know how he managed to stay calm and continue filming. If it was me, I would have been screaming, "Mommy!" and possibly defecating in my pants. But then, I'm not a stud like Shawn.

Yes my friends, I know you're shocked. But there are things in the ocean that will eat you. 

The ocean is not a kiss the fish cartoon or a playful world of domesticated seals and dolphins. It's a wilderness. So please always be aware of the conditions, your abilities and the environment when heading out into the water.

Guess who's coming to dinner?
It seems that we have an unexpected guest dropping in tonight. I hope there's enough food.

Food for fish on Fridays?
Joe, Joe, Joe, why are you so negative? Sharks are misunderstood; they're gentle and playful. I think I'll jump in and swim with them. From the deepest reaches of my paleo brain something screams out to me and it doesn't say sharks are playful, more like hungry!

What's holding you back? Jump on in and swim with him. He's sweet, lovely and misunderstood.

I don't care how sweet, lovely and misunderstood sharks are, I'm not going to jump in the water and swim with them. You can call me a chicken, it won't phase me a bit.

No doubt about it, you're going to need gum surgery. You could have avoided it, if you had flossed.
