Amazing Maui Shark Footage

This is my favorite shark footage to date. Not because the shark itself was out of the ordinary, but because of the way the shot worked. From the back of the boat, into the water, and down to the shark and ulua hunting, there's no break in the shot. It shows exactly as it was with no edits to the 4 minute clip. Filmed in Molokini Crater. Please don't let the footage of a small reef shark deter you from diving in Maui or in Molokini. Getting to be so close to these amazing creatures is a wonder and a pleasure and is well worth your time.

is the shark really small? or are you just really far away?

Only 3-4 ft max. Small Whitetip. But enough to give many tourists a coronary. Most people aren't used to seeing a shark in the same water in which they are swimming. Quite a treat no matter how many times you've seen it.

Very pretty whitetip shark. I just came back from Molokini a week ago and saw a 4 foot blacktip gliding across the lower bowl of the crater. Awesome place to dive!

Molokini crater is great, small sharks are abundant there. But to see probably 5ft shark (not sure what kind it was) snorkeling Big Rock near Sheraton Maui at 6 pm was kind of a chilling experience. Not many swimmers there at sunset but plenty of turtles thats maybe why sharks come by. I met this one almost nose to nose. Firs reaction was to paddle away but she showed no interest whatsoever just swam by me like I was not there.

Very nice footage. Judging from the little butterfly fish next to it, I doubt it was even near 4 feet. Looks under 3 ft, not that the size is important. Very nice footage. :-)
