I'm sure she knows when siesta time is for the sharks. The reef sharks are pretty mellow during the day. Also if you lift the tail it paralyzes them.

Her technique reminds me of handling my bulldogs in drive. The gentle strokes to calm them, the way you handle items that they want to eat, letting them get one end as you steer the head past you before you let go, the little nudges and pokes to steer and distract them at the right time so they don't get focused on the wrong thing. It's quite the ballet, she's very good.
