  • hi,

    was this at the royal island resort in the maldives.. we went there a few years ago and it was truly amzing.. the only sharks we saw while snorkwelng were baby ones... if i saw these i d be dead man...

  • Yeah, It was Royal island in the Maldives! You had to take a 20 min. boat ride out to these big boys. However, there where a couple of "house" sharks that big that kept circling the island!

  • Hi timothydunn! can you tell me how big where the sharks? are they attacking sharks? Im going to maldives in septembe to surf and im afraid there will be sharks... very afraid

  • They come in different sizes from 2ft-10ft. They keep there distance from you. You are looking at them and there having a look at you, there is nothing to be scared of, they are just big fish! So dont worry, enjoy...

  • hey timothy i'm also intresting for surfing in maldives. as i have seen in other videos the place is full of black tip sharks. Is it dangerous to get bidden? What was your distance and you depth when filming this video?

  • Its not danergous! The sharks are just big fish! I was about 15mt down and they came within 6ft of me. Once they sense you are within there 'area' they just come over, have a quick look and then swim off. They are wondeerfull to watch.

see all

  • holy smokes, mate honestly, whats stopping them biting the chunk out of someones ass... we went jet skiing on one of the days and we tipped over in the sea.. i ve never been so scared n my whole life.. i was just waiting for something to come up and have its xmas dinner...

    Have to say though, Maldives is a wicked place and def gop back there again, its a shame they say that most of the islands will be under water within the next few years or so..

  • yes ok for diving is cool to live a situation like this. but what if they think that you are a seal on your surfboard. :) I mean that hen you dive you have control of your enviroment around. At least you can see what goes on. When you surf you just pray :)

  • in 00:16 I WOULD BE D.E.A.D

  • Only the ones i talk to! Only the ones i talk to! Only the ones i talk to!
