How mad is this??? read text then look at picture


YOU HAVE TO READ THIS FIRST BEFORE LOOKING AT THE PICTURE.

Family 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 alright.

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 this is what they saw.

I have always been scared of sharks - that's an astounding picture. as EmmaG says if it's genuine.

Hmmmm, I'm always sceptical about these sorts of things. Trick photography is sooo easy to do

Hmmmm - look at the sunlight ripples on the shark . . . there are none on the people which, being in such close proximity, there really should be. It could be some really clever photoshop work. But how seriously scary if it were genuine
