You certainly wouldn’t use the word “cuddling” to describe a shark, seeing as how they are known to devour humans. But the story we will tell you today will definitely surprise you because it involves a shark and embracing.

His friendship with a Port Jackson shark is quite close. Our companion is a female shark with markings. With the use of these markers, Rick can identify his pal. To find his companion, the shark, Rick is forced to dive deeply into the ocean while holding an oxygen tank on his shoulder and a regulator in his mouth.


The shark, which may be found in the waters off the coast of Nobbys Beach in New South Wales, does not yet have a name. It appears that she is always aware of her human companion. Rick began to interact with her when she was only six inches long and began to play with her.
He cautiously approached the creature so she wouldn’t be startled, and then he touched her tenderly.


Making contact with us, Rick continued by saying, “Whenever I get the chance, I still give her a hug.” She is in excellent physical condition. Always delightful.”

After she became accustomed to him, he comforted her by holding her in his palm and blowing her into his regulator. Throughout her first season, Rick was consistent in doing this. She could identify and swim over to him for a cuddle and a pat. After some time, the shark got used to Rick and started approaching him in the water. She would tap his legs repeatedly until he hugged her.




There is a widespread misunderstanding that sharks wait patiently in the sea to gorge themselves on the flesh of humans. Rick also went diving with substantial white, tiger, bull, hammerhead, banjo, and grey nurse sharks. Even though he is terrified of these magnificent creatures, he admits to swimming with them.
