4 - Sharks are feared predators the world over, so if you want to get up close with one while they are feeding, you need to take the necessary precautions. One of the most important is to acquire a good strong shark cage to protect you from these lethal killers. Gabe and Garrett did just that and headed out on a 5 day shark cruise. They dropped their cage in the water near Guadalupe Island, off the coast of Baja. With the cage and divers safely in place, they proceeded to chum the water around it with chunks of tuna. Not long after that, a Great White shark came to feed, and in its feeding frenzy it rammed the shark cage, breaking the bars, and eventually ended up inside the cage with its two shocked divers. Luckily the divers were able to escape while the shark was distred by how to escape itself.\r
