Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Deep Blue Spotted Off the coast of Hawaii

Triggernosis,

100% CORRECT. = During SHARK WEEK in 2016 one of the cameramen nearly got eaten by a Great White, off the South Africa coast, that came from behind him, while he was "close & personal" with a different shark.

THAT video, the crew did NOT show on TV.

yours, tex

For a shark that big, 66 pounds of blubber is a bite or two.

One of the most interesting things I’ve seen related to sharks in recent years was a show about the discovery of a killer whale pod that specialized in killing and eating great white sharks. And then the interaction between them. Some researchers were following a congregation of hundreds of great whites around a seal birthing area and then one morning suddenly as if someone snapped their fingers, all the sharks were gone. Then later that day or the next day that killer whale pod showed up on the scene.

A matter of time.

Jaws was a fictitious film whose poster kind of looks like this, so this is my effort at an Anti-Jaws type media piece @savingjawsmovie . I’ve been swimming with sharks my whole life and working professionally with them for over 15 years. There’s a challenge I have in my efforts, to find a balance between helping people to overcome their fear of sharks that often stems for fictitious demonizing media and instilling a healthy level of respect for sharks as very capable apex predators #ApexPredatorNotMonster not puppy (cause if you pet puppies often even puppies bite, actually a lot ;)). Having worked with sharks for so long I can fully appreciate what they are capable of because I have been rushed by sharks and had to deter them and I have had to leave the water and I have watched them actively predate and compete for space and have confrontations. However, I’ve also had the most incredible moments of my life in the water with them where 99.9% of the time they cruise gracefully around and so long as I keep looking around and pay attention constantly and quietly and give respect and attention to the more dominant individuals and challenging juveniles on a CONSTANT bases I am treated as more or less an equal predator. Never complacent, always respectful and adapting at every second to every movement. I reached the point long ago where I dedicated my life to conservation and I love it, I love educating people about sharks and introducing them to them in a professional guided situation through the program I co-founded @oneoceandiving where we also collect data @oneoceanresearch @oneoceansharks and help support conservation through @Oneoceanconservation and @OneoceanEducation and @Oneoceanglobal @Waterinspired @oneoceanhawaii and other with funds from @oneoceandesigns and diving I love studying shark behavior and body language and its an absolute pleasure to share that with people and help them to better appreciate sharks and I hope inspire them to help save them.

I'd eat it.....

Old saying in the Fire Service: "There OLD firefighters, and there are BOLD firefighters. But, very seldom do you meet an OLD BOLD firefighter." Would expect the same applies to her line of work as well...

Ummmmm.
