Tiger Shark Yanks Camera Rig from Diver’s Hands

Tiger sharks are developing a reputation as the camera thieves of the ocean. One was photographed stealing a camera back in 2010, and another was filmed stealing a $15,000 camera rig in 2012. Now another one has struck: the 1-minute video above shows a tiger shark snatching an underwater photographer’s camera and swimming off with it… as the photographer holds onto the camera for an impressive amount of time before letting go.

The radio show Paul and Young Ron writes that this latest theft happened during a dive off the coast of the Bahamas.
