Question

How aggressive are tiger sharks in the wild?... im a certified scuba diver and im noit afaid to dive with them

Answer 1

They are in the top 5 of most aggressive sharks in the ocean but if you take the right precautions, there should be no reason for them to attack you.

Answer 2

Don't go in with any open cuts, stay away from un-clear waters (can't think of the word) and let's say one were to attack, they say the best thing to do is to punch it in the eye and bare the pain because you can't escape a shark in water. They are one of the most aggressive sharks but as long as you take good caution you should be perfectly fine.

Answer 3

I've not dove with Tiger Sharks, but my experiences with Black Tipped Reef Sharks, Hammerheads, and several others is that they are either not interested in humans or are actively trying to get away.

Just don't pretend to be a tuna fish sandwich or a seal and you should be okay  ;)

Answer 4

As long as you watch where they are, they should be ok ( when you turn your back sometimes they attack then. ) When you get food out, if you are going to feed them they can get aggressive.

A little tap on the nose is what most people do to tell them No, or stay away.
