It seems pretty unlikely to me, given that he said he’s lost multiple friends to great white sharks while he lived on the west coast. There are maybe 2-3 shark attack deaths per decade on the west coast, spread across a huge area. I have a hard time believing he was friends with multiple of them, and was in the described plane crash, and was gobbled by a whale.
