Narration The weather cleared up but there was a new problem
Richard A big tiger shark came in
From your perspective I think you could see him more clearly than I
It was so poor visibility down there that I could just make it out
But I could see it was a pretty big one
Mark Visibility's gone down to about five feet
That's just not safe enough to dive with these big tiger sharks
So we're gonna have to call off the dive team Very disappointing
Narration The poor underwater visibility didn't seem to stop the sharks
From finding their prey giving John some concerns
John I've got very mixed feeling about this
Because I don't really want to see the albatrosses eaten
But that's what I'm here to film
You can't help wishing the albatrosses will get away each time
I sort of cheer inside when they do There's a shark right in the shallows
Narration John continued to film the action
But it was another three days
Before the visibility cleared sufficiently to make diving safe again
After days of practice
Richard was finally getting to the birds ahead of the sharks
Yet still no success
Woman What did you see
Richard The albatross gave us the run-around for a while
And then he finally decided he'd had enough of us and flew away
Narration But why didn't the sharks take the bird
Were they now avoiding the divers
Doug Whatever senses they're using
They've shown us that they want to stay away from us
Narration Over the next two days
Doug's theory was confirmed
And Richard realised he had little to fear
Richard The sharks are not interested in us
They're only interested in a slightly oilier substance
In the form of a nice fat juicy albatross
