Cookie Cutter Shark Big Island Hawaii Blackwater night dive.wmv

[dwdallam]

Why didn't you get closer----LOL

[Jackle61]

Great footage! I was diving in Belize and just happened to ask the dive master if there were any Cookie Cutters in these waters.(just making small talk) He looked at me like I had just insulted his mother. Later I heard some of them talking about cookie cutters and one guy was holding his junk,,, like maybe he had a close call?

So far I have only seen the bitemarks of Cookie Cutters on Minke Whales here in the Barrier Reef in Australia. Thanks for sharing!

[Hissanrach]

[brenck]

Man.... Not even animal planet have footage of this shark, you should sell this...

[starwarsboy9]

my friend went scuba diving and saw cookie cutters when he came back cookie shaped chunks were missing from his face! those sharks kiss rough

[vinod5800]

It would be historic if u were able to capture it somehow, but it was amazing to see such a rare shark in action..

[Carycomic]

Did anyone else notice that, once the spotlights were partially removed from it, it began to slightly glow on its own? I've heard of bioluminescent sharks. But, to actually see video footage of one is a rare treat, indeed!

Thanks for sharing this.

Ay these little blighters like to munch on bits of whales and dolphins.

[stix879]

It's small and cute but it could @#$%ing kill you.

[lilyaoifan]

a warship with a reenforced hull was traveling through waters that enhabited theses sharks, it was reported to have sunk because of severe damage o the hull caused by,you guessed it, the cookie cutter shark.

[david19893]

because its at night alot of deep sea animals come up at night

[MrmeatyJY]

what are you a pussy???

[ninja0984]

i cant beleive you would jump in the water at night in hawaii.

[WeWillLurk]

My friend got bit by one and had to get surgery

[rochelimit55555]

scary ...

[OrcaMan247]

That is so rare! Very, Very Lucky to see one! Great Video!

[SoddinNutter]

Those damned things are dangerous. They may look like oversized herrings, but if you're not careful they'll take a chunk out of you in an instant.

[mingreece]

You call that a shark a goldfish is bigger than that thing

[fadzy640]

a shark doesn't necessarily be BIG.

[QCBEC]

yeah ...but it can kill a lot of thing no matter the size because of his mouth we call it cookie because when he bile there is a hole with the form of a cookie witch cause an hemorphorage

[murvman]

piranha vs that thing who would win

[poobert]

1. Depends on the number of piranhas.

2. Depends on which of these two titans would be willing to switch salt to freshwater or fresh to salt water habitats.

I bet on a one on one situation... shark would win.

[ninjabreadman04]

shark ftw

[bluehollow94]

u got very lucky those things have sort of a cloak or glow-in-the-dark that hides them so in that case THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH too bad nobody has ever caught one eating out of its prey it leaves a very big hole in its prey

[EmilBalthzer]

wtf dude

[bosshonu]

I've dived with you folks a few times. Which site was this? Great Footage!

[BigIslandDivers]

Actually its 2 miles out at sea! I wish it was a mooring site, it would make the dive easier. Aloha

[bosshonu]

Got it. Mahalo. Aloha to Julie and Russ.

[shark2332]

WOW!! you are so lucky to see one there like almost impossiable to film. thanks for sharing this

[drawdy10]

nice work, aloha

[BBCWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing this video with us.

[hoakua]

Great footage, those Kona Blackwater dives are sure bring back some amazing photos and video.

[Crumbeyeolo]

WOW!  Amazing footage! What was your depth?

[BigIslandDivers]

Actually its was quite shallow. Of the 10 times he swam by(each time slower) we were at 35 to 50ft of depth. Although the last few frames I followed him past 100ft, as he went back into the depths. Mahalo Frank
