My SCUBA instructor has encountered Great Whites while diving. He said that they are generally not aggressive towards divers in their natural habitat. There are theories that most attacks happen near the surface because the sharks mistake surfers or swimmers for seals. That's why most people survive attacks and don't get eaten, because the shark bites and swims away.
Everyone is saying ohh you could've gotten eatin, but these guys are trained and they know what they are doing. They went to a place where they could find a great white without having to use chum. Sharks are beautiful creatures that we need to respect and people need to get the word out. Too many sharks are being killed for there fins for shark fin soup. It's horrible and people should feel bad that they are killing there incredible creatures. Please respect them like a human being!
I just did a dive on a wreck about 8 miles off of the coast of Myrtle Beach and I swear I saw a Tiger Shark in the distance, just it's silhouette which made it scarier but it was awesome. Very surprised by the visibility, I suggest the dive, it's called the Sherman an old Civil War Wreck about 56 ft. down at the deepest and 28 ft. at the shallowest. I dove with Coastal Scuba which is probably your best bet. It's a fairly easy dive, you can just swim around freely and there are a bunch of fish.
sharks are amazing and powerful creatures we need to do more to protect them without them the ocean will go to shit protecting these creatures should be a goal for all of us
this is not depressing music. its rather... magical and it creates a great atmosphere that makes you go beyond the music and really feel the water....... and the sea... :) guy almost got bitten! D:
Actually, to be honest that would be sweet to see one... but absolutely terrorizing. But I don't think human's should worry, I think we're too small for them to be interested. They'd probably go after whales or giant squids down deep in the ocean, like blue whales do ^^.
Great video. But as you see, the conditions here were that the divers were *under* the sharks until they made their way to the boat. Had they been splashing around carelessly at the surface, the video would have went from serene to horrifying very quickly.
@vowwarlord I hate to say this, but I think the reason people hurt (and kill) sharks is because of a certain 1975 film (and its sequels) that depicted sharks as deadly man-eaters when they clearly are not, as this video shows. I saw a commercial earlier and it said something like in 10 years, sharks could become extinct if something isn't done to stop man from slaughtering sharks. Scary thought, isn't it?
The divers were filming at the bottom between the plants as camouflage. Hence the reason why shark wasn't harmful. YET... they left right on time after he took 1 good look at one of them. Sharks always tend to swim around you before they decide to taste you.
This is The most amazing video ive ever seen! The beutifle backround and the wonderful fish. I love the calming music too. Im not a critic but 5/5. I have one question for you though. can you send me the music for this? if you cant, i understand.
One of the most impressive film stocks i've ever seen. The scene at 6:08 is interesting ... it looks dangerous (and most probably is) but at the same time the great white seems to be extremely cautious ... and full of curiosity - neither nervous nor hostile.
And the way the shark moves away in the next second ... the way he moves just takes my breath away ... beautiful. I wouldn't try to swim with white sharks. But seeing these pictures inspires me with awe of God's creation.
breathtaking video I'd love to do that!!! they interact knowing that your not the prey they feed on...very positive endorsement why we should protect these majestic creatures
That's fabulous! It shows how a white shark can behave when not provoked and teased. In my 2 encounters with white sharks their behaviour was consistent with this video, ie, much more interested in their natural food sources than humans. A gutsy video and well put together.
So beautiful and graceful, yet we kill them!
