[magnum50pi]

BAAAALS OF STEEL!

[Jankunas]

Whale shark? WTF?

[robloxJDC1z]

FISHYZ! =3

[h2omanz]

Haole shark

[machiavelli1980]

@elmato9 female white sharks are bigger than males but it is also thought that they do come to breed or mate (not necessarily give birth) near hawaiian waters and the area between cali and hawaii

[surferjosh98]

hes just lucky megladons are extinct

[TheLeCarlos]

dam that was a big mother fukn shark, and wot a crazy fucker going in a swimming with it lololol bigups

[MissOceanGirl]

i wonder if she was pregnant, she was alot larger in the middle

[shadowwolf1991]

Go jimmy that must have been very very fun.

[rabasu2003]

Jimmy is great.

[Shelleycat999]

Good for him. Thats what i like to see. Not attacks and stuff. I like seeing people interacting with sharks :)

[Vinnieback1]

@MrChochenator

no i think its called a great white because it has a white underside

[oderov]

May 9th, 2007 will be remembered as a very sad day.

Adventurer Jimmy Hall was killed in a tragic accident north of the Arctic Circle. Jimmy was in a very remote area near Sam Fjord on Baffin Island in Canada filming a documentary on the region that included base jumping from the incredibly harsh mountains. Jimmy died during one of those base jumps. The area is so remote, it's only accessible by plane, snowmobile, and then dogsled

[926531]

hes gonna die some day if he keeps this up

[twilightari21]

this guys got serious balls.

[gamefreak1000000]

Most shark attacks are unprovoked rather than provoked, so confronting a shark will avoid an attack unless of course you stark provoking it.

[jcougarfootball21]

what island was this off of?

[wooders1000]

Is that the same shark that ate Magnum PI ?

[MrPonolicious]

great whites are rare in Hawai'i. cuz great whites like real low temperature waters and around our islands the water is warmer.

[xenitelis1]

@MrPonolicious yeah, i just moved from Oahu, and everybody ask's if i swam or saw an sharks... Only at coconut island!! gosh...

r.i.p

[walk4trot2canter3]

@grindmaggots666 If what you're saying is true, I'm so sad. But he had the coolest lifestyle in the world, doing this kind of stuff! How rich he was in experiences, apparently. The whole great white shark story is certainly impressive. I loved when he grabbed the tiger shark's dorsal fin! And the whale shark encounter. Lucky guy! I guess he wasn't that lucky, though, in the end. What fish tales he was able to tell!!! Thank God for cam corders!

[Victor1970s]

@grindmaggots666 I can't believe it! Jimmy Hall survives close encounters with a Great White Shark and a Tiger Shark, but, dies on a remote area in the arctic?Go figure.

[KellMusic1]

How do people no tlike this

[bambooman36]

to bad jimmy hall died short after parashooting.

[SheenaBeena08]

i had a dream about sumthing like this werid!!!

[ApneaHunter]

That is a seriously fat, pregnant-looking GWS. I thought they gave birth along the CA coast. Maybe they head out to Hawaii to give birth as well? Very cool footage.

[ELMATO9]

@ApneaHunter isn't just that the females tend to be bigger than males in this species?

[angelsrose26]

i woulda fucking passed out

[BubzBaby00]

i agree with rikotistic! sharks are amazing creatures. people mistake them for these crazy,wild, man-eating machines. its acually rare for a great white or any other shark to attach a human.sharks have a lateral line system. this picks up very weak electronic signals produced by the muscles of living things in the water. bul sharks are most common to attack. they live in coastal areas. they are common near flordia coasts. they swim in shallow water..

[combatCommohooah]

Makes me never want to goto North Shore again.. lol, I bring my song to Pupukea all the time..

[dabosanstudy]

that was awesome man!!!

[onblock7]

GOOD LORD HE IS BRAVE! He is a little crazy but brave.

[itzLeo]

How does jimmy fit his huge balls in that boat

[rambo7149]

@itzLeo he has a second boat behind the boat XD

[Rikotistic]

Beautiful creatures. Not the feared monsters of fiction.

[hosenweimer987]

Sharks attack humans when they're hungry or threatened. This rule applies throughout the animal kingdom. It's really sad when innocence like the humble Great White Shark to become someone's snack. Plus, they clean up the ocean by eating the trash we dump like cans and boots. But it's really sad when a Whale Shark is killed, you should see the photos!

[totaldiva123456]

i love sharks...they would probably be more gentle if people were more gentle to them! they are just following the food chain by eating whatever they can!!!!

[bigtrouble0037]

I'd like to know how it feels to swim with one before I die....

[gdj064]

uh, you know what....i'm so glad that mega toothed fish didn't make Jimmy a Jimmy Dean Sausage.

[lfcandpo]

i would never do that!!! hes got guts like :)

[MrHappyTruth]

1:09 says it all.

[jimboslice1994]

THAT SHARK WAS AN AMAKUA. ALOHA BRADDAH JIMMY U GOT BIG OLO'S BRAH. UP HERE ONLY GET SALMON. HAWAIIAN

[jennaysthashizz]

Wow. Never have I ever seen such a calm shark not looking for human flesh.

[CampingsCrap]

great!

[Randy1337]

aww i wanna hug this cute little thing

[terence671]

Jimmy Hall (rest in peace) that's was my high school teacher Ms. Tatreau's son back in Guam. She assigned sharks to me for my marine biology project. She made me use the pictures he took of the great white shark in this video for my project. Pretty awesome I would say.

[astronomY233]

--he says great white shark is rare in hawaii they are not rare in hawaii

[xmicfernzx]

aaahhh fuk that! i aint gonna swim with great white shark! those species are one of the deadliest

[hate420breed]

Jimmy is the man

[CyberChick2011]

I'm fascinated by sharks! I'd love to go cage diving one day. It'd be amazing! Sharks are fantastic creatures, if only we learn to respect them, and not judge or pass them off as vicious man eaters. True, Great Whites are responsible for some fatal attacks unprovoked, but most of these attacks are "test-bites". Sharks are known for liking warmer waters, which is why many people on the costlines see them often.

[magrilla69]

holey cow! a great white! ive gotta get outta this PROTECTIVE cage to swim with it! hey, what could go wrong?

[Mermaidromy]

there quite cute :))

[FootBallisMyLife4]

bsyouherb you are stupid that shark will *** you before you can stab him

[desjaraah]

what a fat motherfucker shark!

[hayleymorgan555]

I love sharks!!!

[GOT2BFASTER]

Sharks just want to be loved... :)

[XOhavefaithOX]

that is pretty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[XOhavefaithOX]

that is soooooooooo pretty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jasonloden]

He's crazy wearing bright colors lol

[boyzinyourclub]

my favorite creatures the water is their lair and they have the right to defend it

[FuneralFragz]

huge balls....

[JungllJr]

People go on about the few rare cases of death sharks are responsible for each year.

But they ignore the fact that we're responsible for the slaughter of millions and millions of sharks for shark fin soup.

[sapherequeen]

Sharks are so misunderstood; so many people make them look like these monstrous creatures with no conscience; just a constant need to kill. Sharks usually don't try to eat humans, they only bite when they're curious as to what you are, feel the need to defend him/herself, or become territorial and want you out of their space.

[cjanna9]

I don't like that he touched the sharks. I don't think marine life should be touched like that, it's like breaking a barrier that shouldn't be broken, in my opinion. If you're lucky enough to have an encounter with one of these animals I think you should respect its space, I don't like having random people walk up and touch me so what makes people think animals are any different?

[ShaunDavidCarter]

american steve irwin?

[burntdog88]

damn straight they're scary

[bthielen99]

Cool video

Does anyone believe there could be a megalodon out there? I do

[telswood]

i would literally shit myself.

[nibs784]

Great whites don't look after their young, on their own at birth

[kimmage129]

that shark is so so big it is really rare that a shark did not attack

[CyndiLauperRules]

I'm fascinated by sharks and i think that they're so cool! But, not to be a wimp or anything, when they get sharks on camera and they're like swimming toward it, it kinda scares me... lol

[aleks8811]

GamingGenius : you would be scared of a shark if you would be near it ... like actually in the water ...

[blowtorchacurlyfry1]

Beautiful. Another thing we can thank Hollywood for screwing with the public image. Most people wouldn't give a fuck if these animals died off. We must respect all living things, sharks included.

[RunescapeNetworkVids]

Wow this is so awesome!

[robmad87]

RIP Jimmy.  Aloha!

[ForeverDisneyKid]

Hawayyyyyy. wrong way to say it buddy.

[jediskunk67]

That's one brave diver.

[ssgtakeo]

Big and beautiful

[alal22000]

What a beautiful shark she is? This was an amazing story!

[Dobsta45]

did he died?

[TheBigViewer1]

does that shark have an american accent???

[Respectisfun]

anyone seen sharkwater. that is some depressing stuff :( cant believe people would kill em just for fins. drink machines kill more people than sharks

[yhr001]

Oooeeyy... scary.

[scubatrout08]

You are one crazy dude! I've done shark diving...actually was a bit disappointed in it...however, I would NEVER get out of the cage...crazy!!! Luck runs out at some point.

[busicka]

omg how that be possible ..?

[odemarkenson]

Lucky man.

The great white probably already had its lunch and wasn`t in the mood for dessert.

[Romi260986]

sharks are badass

[DarkHeartedMusician]

Wow, she's pretty hefty. She must either be pregnant, or just ate a large meal...

How big do you think she is? My guess would be about 17-18 ft easily. Maybe even bigger...

[7trackstar11]

hahaha i went on that thing and saw dis guy last summmer lol he said you're reallly unlikely to see great whites anymore

[MissDucky117]

I wantto swim 1 v 1 with a great whitebin the middle of the open ocean. (:

[combatCommohooah]

Wtf, They saw these in the north shore?

[jjt59]

thats awsome =)

[mimon121]

great white was not a "killing machine" hahaha bla bla bla . It will be , if she had bit your ass :) after lunch perhaps! this man have GREAT LUCK ...to not lose some limb

[mxriderHassy]

BALLS OF STEEL!

[Vampiregrl02]

Wow

[xMarucsFenixX]

That´s so cool that he dove outside the cage close to a White shark. I would be too scared to do that.

[aghHero]

rip jimmy hall

[dashboardforfire]

i've been on plenty of scuba dives where i've seen plenty of sharks. whenever you get close to them they just swim away scared. even on night dives i have no problem swimming with them.

its just a matter of understanding and telling yourself that their not really what their made out to be

[Sealy1986]

that female shark is a mind less killing machine when she having here pms days lol.

[kmp3000]

I never seen him get out of the cage...

[goatboyful]

nah, dont believe you Rock the Ocean. a newborn Great White Shark is 3-4ft long predator in it's own right. it does not hang around it's mother to be fed or protected, it just swim's off and is on it's own. where did this mythical encounter take place, how big was the 'baby' ,how close was it to it's 'mother', tell us all what happened!

[antonio030562]

how can anyone like sharks they,re scary i couldnt stand being in the water with one

[geektar03]

He's lucky she wasn't hungry.

[OBLIVERATION13]

i love all kinds of marine life but i sadly am afraid of water

[AlwaysBonpoint]

Awesome creatures but cage or not neither love nor money would get me in the water with them.

[RyanBunnell]

White sharks are coming back to the Hawaiian islands, because of the recent population rise of monk seals.

[2skatersshow]

im TERRIFIED by sharks, but that's pretty cool!

[Cheapskate1883]

I really like sharks, we had Shark week on discovery channel...unfortunately I didn't get to watch it until yesterday (which was the last day), but I think sharks are truly amazing and absolutely beautiful.

[J0n4th4nJu]

These things are EVERYWHERE where i live.

There's so much that surfing is suicide.....in some areas.

[HaruVLC]

well maybe the shark came from south africa need to get a break n head off to hawaii for vacation :D

[gregorytknudson]

I have not been back in the water since 1975...the movie ruin;ed it for me "JAWS" i can't even go watersking in freshwater...in a stupid lake...thinking that some crazy MF'er dumped a greatwhite shark in there????

[ludicrouslife67]

I've seen a website about the biggest sharks ever seen and this one was on it. It was 18 feet, the only one that big ever caught on film. There was also a 21 footer photographed dead (it looked as big as a truck) and that's the corroborated record for a great white.

[caribbeancognac]

TERRIFYING!!

[Aperny]

Sharks are actually really pretty!  I love them but if i saw one i would freak out still

[RockTheOcean4me]

I saw one white shark in all my dives. It came from the back and it was a meter away orso, then out of sight it turned and came straight towards me and my buddy with that grin. Max 10 m before us it took a 90 degree turn and disappeared. That was...uhm, impressive at the least.

The shark was followed by a baby so she could have done more to protect her kid but she didn't. I rather be under water then on the surface. Forget the teeth, if this 5m shark hits me, all my bones are broken.

[goatboyful]

i'm sorry, but what happened? you and a dive partner had a close encounter with a GWS and it's baby? i did'nt misread that did i ? nah, dont believe you! when born a GWS is an 3-4ft long predator in it's own right. it does'nt need to hang around mummy and get shown thing's or to be protected. it just swims off on it's own and that's it. so NO, i dont believe you. where did this mythical encounter take place, how big was the 'baby', how close was it swimming to it's 'mother' . tell us now!please.

[xMarucsFenixX]

Yeah I would rather dive so I see the shark than to be swimming on the surface or surfing cause then I won´t see the shark but I wouldn´t want to be where there are white sharks.

[NaturalBornHedonist]

You need to be under water that's for sure...however Sharks are quite predictable creatures..so when you are able to read the sign-language of a shark you are pretty safe...

[kmkfiction2]

Given that White sharks (like all sharks), render ZERO paternal care (and sometimes eat their own young), your claim to have seen a 5m White shark "followed by" her baby...well, I will leave it at that.

[fortunechild1000]

this video is incredible.

[bsyouherb]

I'm not afraid of sharks. If a great white tried some shit I'd fuck his shit up...

[NichQ]

@bsyouherb

HAHAHAHAHHA

[josmcg]

Hilarious.

[46Pokemonfan]

@bsyouherb

Sure, while your in his stomach.

[ChristinaWatkinson]

lol. right. ok.

[zzJerryShufflezz]

Sure ....

[markrstill1]

@bsyouherb

the force of it hitting you head on would almost knock you out so how could you fuck his shit up???????

[MsRLV]

@bsyouherb thats really arrogant!!! that shark would rip ANYONE to shreds

[aaronseese]

ya rite he would get 2 u b4 you could scream and go cry to your mommy

[icegodx1]

You'd be saying that now, Once a shark gets in your face, You'd shit your pants.

[meann85]

lol if you saw a great white in the water you would literally shit yourself so easy to say your not afraid on a comp try the water...

[diviengi]

id love to see you swim with bullsharks.

[crazypeopleeverywear]

@bsyouherb  AHAHAHA this made my day

[Isabelle287]

@bsyouherb I'd like to see you try.

[GamingGenius]

Aren't the waters off Hawaii actually pretty warm? I always thought Great Whites prefered colder waters.

[PTD01]

They do prefer colder waters thats what makes it so rare to see one in hawaii - especially one that big too lol x

[burbscinates]

yea...that's why this video is so rare! tiger sharks are the more common predators of warm water like this.

[shalmont]

@GamingGenius and thats why this was so rare it made the news..........

[gorgeousaur]

@GamingGenius That's why they said several times in the video that seeing a Great White in the waters near Hawaii is rare.

[marypeacefaith]

Wow! I was so amazed!

[mitchhewerislushx]

this is magnificent! i have been reading about articles of shark attacks and i think it's selfish when people go ahead killing sharks! we should respect that we are in there environment and they need to eat... just like us! so if you are going to swim i think you should think over the risks? sharks are beautiful creatures even though i am PETRIFIED though fascinated... one day i want to go in a cage to overcome my fear..... r.i.p to all victims! and man, you have guts! i would never do such!

[Endomagic86]

I would love to swim with one without a cage. That would be a rush = )

[ELMATO9]

@mitchhewerislushx myself included but think great whites cruise along the bottom of the sea floor then race up and kill with a huge first hit, this technique is used on 400 lbs elephant seals! so if a human got hit with a force like that you'd die in seconds, + all recorded shark victems are mostly quickly released cause the shark doesn't no wot something tastes like until it has mouthed it, love sharks and wildlife!!..

[FoamyDaSkwirrel]

I bet his marine bio parent was so proud!

I know I would be. Ya know. If I was old and had kids. I want to instill a sense of appreciation and love for sharks in my kids.

[threatetor]

sharks are awesome creatures, but i just can't stand 0.5 seconds in the water with one. i probably have whater shark-phobia is really called. i LOVE sharks, but im just scared of them...ALOT!

[Cla900]

thanks to 'jaws' lol

my mum said to me the other night, after i told her i wanted to go great white shark diving and wanted her 2 as well, she said 'omg no! i love them but i watched jaws when i was younger....it's scarred me for life'

ugh i hate that movie.

[MCshlthead]

@threatetor the horror of being eaten by a shark is just to morbid to imagine. im never getting in the drink with a shark and thats final

[ubercoolist]

@threatetor me too

[gundammon]

@threatetor galeophobia

[HeyImHollie]

Even though they are damn scary. He's right, they aren't just mindless killers (or something like what he said). I think they are beautiful and kinda cute?

[sesame135]

cute?! are we looking at the same thing here

[JustinNyland]

so cool

[goatboyful]

classy, well done!

[Sammo878787]

awesome man

[peppy4674]

that was so amazing i wish i had the guts to do that id go in the cage tho sharks are amazing love them but that doesnt mean im not scared of them lol if i was out in the middle of the ocean and there was a shark coming toward me id be freakin scared

[AnimalCrossingRules]

when sharks do kill just think we kill chickens wats the diffrence?

[JennnaaKay]

im scared to death of sharks.

he must have balls made of steel.

RIP.

[burreburry1]

HER SIZE WAS HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[burreburry1]

WHAT WAS THE WEBSITE???

[gystracing]

My grandfather died on May 9, 2007, same as Jimmy Hall. Coincidence much?

[bobrox15]

I wish I could do that. It'd be so amazing to swim with a great white OUTSIDE the cage. Usually they chum the waters to attract sharks and this makes them tend to act more aggressively. I think they key was waiting to see how the shark behaved and he got out of the cage after seeing the shark was not going to act aggressively. Also note, Sharks do not have hands, most shark bites are them trying to determine what something is.

[pringlestar]

Save the sharks, don't eat Shark fin soup!

[BombinStat]

wow man that is mad is cool. 1:20 is also nice man just floating there with all them sharks around. amazing.

[fashionguru94]

did you know, you have more chance of being killed by a vending machine,than you do getting eaten by a shark.

:)

[B00be4r321]

i saw a great white while scuba diving. They really dont bother you . They are quite neat.

[Jllucky8]

I went diving with sharks before, it is incredible. Most of them between 6 and 9 feet long but nothing like a great white...

[lBlueFishl]

sharks only kill surfboards o.0 humans get in the way

[nflati123]

I think the moview Jaws scarred me as a child. I live in Hawaii, and yet you almost have to pay me to go out in the ocean. It's such a shame...but I'm almost petrified of what could be out there. :o( Makes it worst when my husband spears and stuff and there I am on the shore...sissy! lol

[Gzone51]

@ nflati123 hey when i read ur comment for some reasion i aint afraid of going out swimming in the ocean now.

[kiera2friends]

WOA! thats amazing!

[risky41]

hes got balls

[stysogre]

CRAZY

[0440512097]

i am fucking scared sharks i have seen them kill people

[milkmandan77]

that looks relatively close to ali'i beach park, one of my favorite surf spots.

fucksake.

[hopplacowboy]

amazing footage R.I.P Jimmy

[atenco01]

Dude...move to Vegas and start gambling...that is what you did outiside the cage...You got good luck!

[klauwn17]

i can't see gambling here. the shark didn't even bump the cage. there are quite some people who are swimming with sharks, also with great whites. one of the most popular is probably andre hartman

[Aonien]

This guy has brass balls to do this.

[JayReptile]

thats gotta be one hell of an experiance, i doubt many other people can say "hey iv swam witha great white" What i do find funny though is all the vids on youube of so called "shark attacks" where the person gets away alive. If it was an actual attack youd be dead regardless of who you are. The ones where people get away are just sharks wondering wtf is that :S and obviously they have no hands so have to inspect with their mouthes. Why have i put that here :S ah well point still stands :D
