Fancy a swim???

Family on holiday in Australia for a week and a half when husband, wife and their 15 year old son decided to go scoober diving. The husband is in the navy and has had some scoober experience.
His son wanted a pic of his mum and dad in all their gear so got the under water camera on the go. When it came to taking the pic the dad realized that the son look like he was panicking as he took it and gave the "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. When they 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" and the 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 laptop and this is what they saw.
(Try and tell me you wouldn't have emptied your entire digestive system right at the point you saw it)

is that real!?

that has got to be photoshopped!!!

I'm skeptical, if there was a shark that size behind you, you would 'feel' its presence. Also, why didn't the son just point at the shark and warn his parents?

this is photoshopped....you dont see any movement of the shark in the water and you would've.

I'd say its photoshopped too.
The size of the shark would be felt at that closeness and no sharks I've ever seen are that big.

Would be pretty scary if it was true though.

I think it's a great pic even if it's not real, I know for a fact I would have bubbles coming out of every orifice if that was me taking the pic..

P.s, Bubbles = gas / air release and not the monkey MJ used to own, now that would just be wrong

as long as they were only scoober diving and not scuba diving they were ok from that presence,

no way they would have been hit by it, its so close, and they would have known it was there, but the son still gave the ok and took a pic, swam fast away, and it never was curious as all the splashing around when he was getting on the boat....... sorry...... hoax

Yep, no way thats real. You'd have felt the presense.

And here's their son some time earlier...

Yes I would say its very much a photoshop fake. The other half got this in an email and I just had to share.
