Last night, November 28, 10pm. Extremely rare cookie cutter shark off Kona Hawaii. This is the worlds first live cookie cutter video. First he's very fast and weary; but on each pass he's slower and more calmer acting. We have seen 4 cookie cutter sharks within the last 6 months while doing our Blackwater night dives, here at Big Island Divers. But this time I have him on film! Aloha Frank

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

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

  • WOW! Amazing footage! What was your depth?

  • 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

  • Why didn't you get closer----LOL

  • 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!

  • it glows in dark!?

  • wait wait wait!
