The video was shared by Arturo Islas Allende, who claims the company involved had not complied with safety regulations.
In a statement posted to its Facebook page, Nautilus Dive Adventures said:"There was an incident with a great white shark repeatedly charging one of our cages at Guadalupe Island in October towards the end of our 2019 season. We were horrified, very sad, upset and worried for both the shark and our divers. We stage approximately 50,000 white shark dives every year and have been running these trips since 2003.
"Our cages are in full compliance with all Mexican regulations. Never in all our experience have we seen a shark exhibit this behaviour. We own this. When the incident happened, we immediately notified the authorities, sent them video of the event and launched an immediate review and root cause analysis."
The company said their cages are"being modified to do our best to prevent this from ever happening again." Nautilus also said it is encouraging other tour operators with shark boats"to to learn from this terrible incident and modify their cages as well." CONANP also confirmed the"incident" in a statement on December 7. It said the 11-foot shark became trapped between the bars of the cage. The organization said sharks gather at Guadalupe between July and December every year. In this case, the shark collided with one of the cages and got stuck, they said. CONANP added the spacing between bars of cages must not exceed 13.7 inches and that apparatus must be modified accordingly.
"CONAN .... reiterates its commitment that the activity of white shark observation is carried out with good practices and in accordance with the principles of sustainable tourism, for the benefit of ecosystems, species and society," the statement said.Representative image showing a great white shark.
