So in the infrequent chance, you encounter a tiger shark in the ocean, and you are lucky enough to have one like Kalihi come to investigate you with this kind of intensity, the hand on the nose with a locked elbow needs be modified. 1st off, there are less than 30,000 tiger sharks estimated to be left in our oceans, and I have only met a couple like Kalihi that will lift you out of the water when the hand goes on to the nose. If a shark ever did this to you, the second-hand must be under the jaw to keep it closed and push away from it because as the weight of the shark comes down, you don't want to be under the nose next to the mouth. The best situation is to just go underneath but as safety diver guiding people in water I have keep this shark away from people with less experience. Most of the tiger sharks I have encountered 2 decades of shark diving are very shy, cautious, and calculated; Kalihi is a rarity. Something about Sub adults like her finding how much power they have and deciding to use it finally. Even sweet tiger sharks like Queen Nikki were rambunctious when they were younger, and as they gained experience, they slow down a bit and save their strengths for the right moment
