After swimming with sharks in 50 feet of crystal clear tropical blue water while holding her breath, Karina had a revelation after taking an intimate look at the reality, both good and bad, of our constant toothy companions... Sharks are such amazing creatures that deserve the same environmental protection as any other sea creature. These caribbean reef sharks would certainly prefer eating fish, but still Karina was almost bitten several times, and did receive a love bite on her bum because of her inexperience while swimming with them. Like most wild creatures, particularly predators, you don't ever want to underestimate a sharks abilities.
Join Karina on another Escape Around the World as she works to protect our oceans and preserve the sea's many diverse wonders, Yes, even sharks!

-Sharks attack and kill between 12 and 25 people per year, people kill approximately 100 million sharks (about 600,000 tons) per year. Many of these shark deaths are the result of fisherman cutting off all the shark's fins while they are alive. The finless sharks are then thrown overboard to drown. All because shark fin soup is a delicacy in some countries.

  • That was awesome. People do need to make a difference and stop the 100 million sharks getting killed each year for soup, stop the 20,000 dolphins getting killed in Japan each year, stop 1000 whales killed by the japanese each year. These figures are unsustainable.

  • thats really cool, i would love to do that one day

see all

  • Sharks detect electricity with their noses, they're one of very few animals who can do this.

    They detect your brainwaves in the water and read your thoughts, SHARKS ARE CONTROLLING YOUR BRAIN!!!

  • Whoah. i would totally love to be you right now. swimming with sharks. ever since i saw the movie JAWS i have been afraid to go into the ocean. to be able to swim with sharks and get used to them would help me over my fear. i was 6 when i saw that movie and i am turning 14 this year. it has been a long time since i have been in the beautiful ocean with the majestic sharks. it would be fun to enjoy that feeling again but i am to afraid that a shark will eat me while i am swimming with my family.

  • I´m really afraid that will be to late when human race learn how important for our planet it is the fauna and flora life, and that we are the biggest and dangerous predators of earth resources. Great video, congratulations.

  • sharks will only attack if they smell blood

  • Shark doesnt want to eat you? Im the one willing to eat you baby..!
