      It's a myth that they hate yellow. Sharks are actually color blind. White and yellow are simply the most visible at depth. Red, blue, green, all turn gray when you get about 10-15ft deep, but white and yellow are still visible when deep. I spearfish in FL and it's common knowledge.

They discussed that while sharks can't actually see the colour yellow itself, it does show up in such high contrast for them, so any object that's yellow really sticks out enough for them to see. It's such an interesting topic that I'd love to watch you discuss the topic.

    Another great video as always Kris. Tracking Sharks did a short of the tiger shark ramming the kayak and a 59 second video on the kid getting his hand bitten in the everglades. The shark in the everglades video looks like a lemon shark. It doesn't have the bulkiness of a bull shark. That does look like a spear gun or a spear pole on the bottom of the last clip. I remember Shannon saying the shark on the right missed him because the shark on the left got to him first. I think an episode on how sharks react to the color yellow would be very interesting. In an episode of Sharks Happen, Hal mentions experiments the navy did to see how sharks reacted to different colors, and of all the colors, the sharks reacted to yellow the most. So much so, they started calling it yum yum yellow. That'd be super cool to hear more about. 🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈

    The Everglades one was so scary just because I’ve never seen an attack like that like so quick, like dude, literally couldn’t reach his hand in the water for one second…. that just makes me think that they must be everywhere in there, snakes, sharks, and gators. I still remember the Everglades in the 90s, never a place you would wanna get in the water, but the Everglades have become a lot more dangerous over the years…. I remember when giant snakes in the Everglades used to not even be a thing.

I first read about it yesterday and from what I've read so far it seems that people still don't really know why the sharks come/came there (apparently it's very rare nowadays) and lay still on the bottom, and how they're doing it (at least those obligate ram ventilators like (I think) bull sharks (?)). I think it would be an interesting video because it would be a cool mix of a bit of history and some fascinating shark behaviours, like the video about the USS Indianapolis incident.

    I wonder if the two sharks that attacked Shannon were spooked by crashing into each other and if that's why no follow-up attack took place. As for the Everglades attack as others have mentioned it seems that was a Lemon shark not a Bull shark. Agnostic display or not the four species covered in this episode are the ones that us divers are taught to be most wary of.

    Back in the late 60's, early 70's it was determined that shark attacks on swimmers has something in common. They learned that the swimmers attacked all had what was termed "Burnt Orange" and "Yum Yum Yellow" bathing suits on. The Kayak is basically "Yum Yum Yellow" in color and it looked like he just pulled in a few a few minutes earlier and his feet were dangling over the edges. The combination likely made him look like a prey item with the right movement and coloration to be an injured fish on the surface. The shark hit is once and left once it realized that it wasn't prey.

      @@southpaw8040 It's not that they hate the color, it looks like a prey item to them in the water because it's visible at depth. Why do you think there are so many Chartreuse colored lures used in fishing? It's not just sharks and it's a proven fact. It looks like the flash of scales in the water which attracts their attention and when it's sitting on the surface and bobbing around it looks like a dead critter floating. Also point in fact in many cases a shark attack is a single bite to determine whether or not it's a food source or not. Once they make that initial bite, they know whether it's food or not. It might have been a different story of the shark bit his leg and he started bleeding into the water even though he was up on the kayak.

According to the U.S. Navy, who did extensive testing with coloured bouyancy vests in the 60's, sharks "love" the colour yellow, so much so that the Navy describe it as "Yummy Yellow", due to the abundance of bites that the yellow vests received from sharks.

      Yum yum yellow! They were trying out personal safety envelope things - like giant lemons - that could be deployed if someone went overboard in shark country, from what I recall. IIRC, they thought yellow would be optically invisible? Or wouldn't look like a seal? But they expected yellow to be safe, and it turned out to be the worst.

    So that white tip one you opened with. There was an investigation on it, there had been 13 shark attacks in that reason since 2009. And they actually did close the reef to diving and swimming because a fishery had been dumping their excess into the water. The left overs of the fish they had been throwing into the water, so there had been a slowly increasing number of white tips.

      Yeah if you watch the lower diver right before the shark goes for the other diver you can also see him expecting an attack and preparing. Both these freedivers seemed to me like they were very experienced in these particular waters as they didn't panic when the shark made it's charge and were just as calm afterwards too.

    Back in the 70's divers would refer to yellow as "yum yum yellow" just in general. I don't think there was anything but anecdotal evidence back then that it attracted sharks, but it was noted by those that spent a lot of time on the water.

    Why sharks hate yellow! Really curious about that now. Also, in the last attack the diver at the bottom of the screen appears to have a spear gun. So I'm thinking that is definitely a spear gun on the bottom. Last thing I would have dropped. As you said earlier, try to have something in your hand to keep between you & the shark. A spear gun extends your arm by its length to keep the shark even further away!

    Have they tried painting the undersides of surf boards in b & w stripes to see if sharks are less likely to do mistaken prey attacks, as it seems that most surf board attacks are this type, or has this not been tried ?
