Nice video. From my trip to the Red Sea diving with the Oceanic White Tip, Hammerheads, Grey Reef Shark and Silver Tips, I was told the following (most of these you mentioned already): 1. Stay vertical // 2. Stay in groups // 3. Always maintain eye contact with shark and chest should always face the shark // 4. Keep your arms below your armpits // 5. Breathe calmly // 6. No erratic movements. There are 4 phases before it gets dangerous: 1. The shark circles you from afar // 2. The shark circles you but closer this time // 3. The shark bumps into you to figure out what you are // 4. The shark bumps into you again... once that happens, it's time to end the dive as it could come to an incident. All in all, diving with sharks was the best diving experience I ever had.
it should be interesting how encounters with sea life will change with ccrs. as time passes with price and technology and more people use them. good point about shiny things it also pertains to snorkelling and barracudas.
0:41 if i am going on a diving trip and there's a probability of seeing sharks, my find are white in color, is it ok or I should rent/buy a black/dark fins for such dives?? Thanks in advance.
Stay aware! I read in Skin Diver magazine of a group of macro-photographers so entranced by their reef-wall subjects that they were unaware of a 13' tiger shark that swam nearly within arm's reach of each of them (as seen from above by a diver master).

1:40 as woody from Dive Talk says Respect the Animals home , your a guest they live there be mindful :)
Gear with low contrast is good, sharks are less scared. Otherwise, I highly recommend Neal Watson in the Bahamas, the best shark diving ever!
