Great clip Tom271 brought back many memories of my diving days. In 1997 a whale watching group witnessed a Killer Whale (Orca) flipping a great white shark over on its back. This seemed to put the great white into a state of sleep known as tonic immobility. Needless to say the Orca proceeded to dine on the great white.  Since then I’ve seen documentaries of biologists tagging sharks for remote satellite sensing using this same technique…fascinating stuff really.

As for the music, one of my all time favorites growing up and one of the sweetest Spanish classics; “Malaguena Salerosa”. This is a newer and beautiful rendition they play but this is the why I remember it...enjoy.
