Science - Fisheries / article about sharks
French term or phrase: capuchon (du plongeur)
The photo shows a shark trying to grab something near the diver's head but (despite googling) I am not too sure what it is:

Cette jeune femelle peau bleue cherche à mordre le capuchon du plongeur, qui l’écartera doucement de la main en la touchant au niveau des branchies. Aucune panique dans le regard du plongeur, habitué à leurs « frasques ».

  -> Thanks Sandra&Kenneth.
agree  Catharine Cellier-Smart: as a diver, I confirm, though it would normally be a "capuche" in French // Reunion where I live and dive has one of the highest shark attack rates in the world! (but they don't attack divers).

  -> Thanks Catherine. Now I'll only be able to think of you in affinity with blue sharks.
agree  Didier Fourcot: C'est la capuche de la combi, rien à voir avec un capuchon de vis du détendeur
