[infernalzen]

[zozlimits]

your videos are amazing quality and are very well shot i would love to use them to make a montage of different sharks for youtube

[DoPeZooLooo]

awesome looking shark! looks alot like the mako

[infernalzen]

@DoPeZooLooo

not sure i would like to be in the water with a mako though :o they can be abit naughty at times.

these threshers are so shy, i was realy lucky to get this close (after 4 seperate trips)

[MrxBuiscuitX]

@infernalzen Yes Makos are pretty unpredictable...

[BBboundgod]

This video and others like it are really awesome since the thresher is such a rare species to come across.

[VisionXray23]

He's getting cleaned by wrasse.

[dakuwanga]

beautiful shark - great video

[infernalzen]

@dakuwanga thanks :)

they are so shy, it was amazing that it came so close

[infernalzen]

@Vmn777 shark game?

i have plenty of shark vids. check them out :)

[momoericke]

i like the tail alooooot lol

[infernalzen]

@momoericke they are realy shy, nice animals

[momoericke]

@infernalzen that's a good thing i would think! haha i wish i could do that. i hate being afraid of sharks when i love them so much!

[infernalzen]

@momoericke the press want to make them out to be monsters.

if sharks realy wanted to bite us, thered be massive amount of attacks.

the threshers were realy gracefull.

i like seeing ordinary reef sharks too :D

[momoericke]

@infernalzen yeah people should not be afraid of any shark but the megalodan, if he even still exsists. otherwise, i mean would you be afraid of a kitten? no, but the life of that kitten could have been given to a shark instead, or even a person. idk, people are just scared of what they don't know.

[Directo13]

That's soooo coooolll!!!

[infernalzen]

@Directo13

theres this one place that sees the threshers every day :D

if you dont dive now, they do courses at this island too :)

[AzNbLoOd9012]

lol ahahahaha i love philipines dats were i came from n i think i was there wen i went diving wen da thresher shark came near us

[pletie69]

Wow, You were lucky that he stayed so long with You circeling around. I saw him just once gently passing by - last October on the same spot.

[HypnoticBootyShakin]

Haha it's hilarious when he eats the fish by his mouth at :36, so funny!

[infernalzen]

the fish is a cleaner wrasse. its the reason the sharks go there, to get all the parasites +dead skin? cleaned off bu the cleaner wrasse,

i dont think it swallowed it :o

[Topazella]

Wow! This is beautiful!! Can I use it in a video please ?

[infernalzen]

[infernalzen]

yeah, use the video to show how nice most sharks are :D

we were @20mr depth though.

abit deep for any snorkelers.

[ianam1983]

Gorgeous footage. I love the way the tail moves as the thresher swims.

[infernalzen]

we were told that they are realy shy.

if you swim towards them or exhale bubbles, they will go away. (no shark would swim into bubbles when theyre calm)

i was trying to exhale as it swam away.

&it came closer +closer :D

what a lovely animal. it was huge, but i felt no threat from it at all.

i felt pleasure, at it wanting to come closer.

[ianam1983]

Oh I would too. It's beautiful and not something most people ever get to see. As for threat, they mostly eat small schooling fish, it would only bite you if you threatened it first... or maybe were bleeding. As it is, a very lucky encounter with a wild animal.

[stratlover37]

coolest shark .

[infernalzen]

i only saw one shark a day.

one day i missed 6 of them :( :)

[stratlover37]

i can spell shark its RESPECT.I ALWAYS WANTED 2 CATCH ONE ON A ROD AND REEL.

[infernalzen]

catch one on a rod

:o

no way!!!!

[stratlover37]

i am not talking light tackle.but ya, a rod and reel. nice bull shark would be cool ta catch.

[infernalzen]

no catching any sharks please :(

theyre reducing in numbers to a point where they might not survive?

[stratlover37]

i would certainly let it go. i would never harm any animal.

[infernalzen]

thanks :)

[BeesAndMonkeys]

Wow. Awesome shark. Thanks for the vid.

[MissSanthagen1988]

Oh wow I love sharks ;)

[balonypony16]

Awesome video...where was this filmed?

[infernalzen]

thanks.

it took a few dives before seeing the sharks this close.

[Edwardinred]

Oh man! Ever since I was little the thresher shark was always my favorite. This is beautiful footage. :)
