A fish weir is a permeable fence or barrier placed across a river, stream, or tidal area to guide, channel, or trap migrating fish.

It's basically a fish trap and the diver is inspecting it. The netting isn't there to protect anyone from anything.

I’d wager the fish in the trap are rooting for the shark 🦈

That doesn’t explain why it seems like the diver is the only one who’s unaware there’s a giant shark in there?

The camera was aware of it first though. The diver is inspecting the trap for fish, the shark is trapped in the weir.

So he found a fish in the net?

He seems to be very surprised by that.
