This is absolutely disgusting.
Shark Diving International aka Great Whites Adventures has a history of shark cage breaches at this site while still making claims on their website to have “100% safety record”.
I am sure the divers in this cage had no idea how lucky they are.

Looks like both shark and divers left the scene unscathed. It looks like the cage actually ended up protecting the shark that rammed the cage. Had the cage not broken away, the shark might have suffered damages. And what a wild ride for those two divers!!! They’ll have a great fish story to tell for some time to come.
