Maybe some instructions on how to build one of those get-close-machines should appear in the DYI projects section...

i think Tin Tin beat him to it years earlier :-). There are also similar exploits on National Geographic / discovery channel.

Hmmm Fabien should go on MTV instead.

Lots of people have had very close encounters with great whites outside the cage. Beyond Fear by Ralf Kiefner is now a Discovery or Nat Geo program. Mark Marks and others are in it without cage. I've done it too. They come right up to you to look at you like a grandma with bad eyesight and just ignore you. Had 2 10 min encounters with them in South Africa, which I think is probably the only place on earth you could get away with diving with them without a cage.

Scubadru, did you mean you swam outside cage or actually posed as a fellow shark? That wouldbe way cool, we want to see the footage!
