I read that the other day. Amazing!

Yea, a modern day Jonah! Although, IMO, anyone who dives for lobsters off the cape with all the great whites there these days is nuts.

Saw that on the news the other day. Pictures or it didn’t happen. LOL!
Everyone knows a Go-Pro camera is mandatory when you go swimming in whale infested waters!

If you like stories of whales swallowing you with no video to prove it, then how about this... Lobster diver almost gets head decapitated by GREATWHITE shark!

If I had the ability to dive for lobster dinners sharks and whales wouldn't stop me.

When I lived in the Boston area, my wife and I went whale-watching several times out of Boston and several times out of Gloucester. Humpbacks are large, but I'm not sure they could swallow a man. I think this guy was in his mouth, not his belly!

I think my alpha yellowtail damsel was a great white shark in a previous life. He's always trying to tear a chunk off me anytime I stick my hand in the tank

It wasn't a feeding attack. Just a bump to find out what it was. Still scary. I'm not sure he even seen the shark after the bump.
