I was borned in a small town in Spain. My dream always was to see great white shark in South Africa. In 2006 I was working in a supermarket and I went to ask for a credit in my bank just to go there. My mom was thinking his son was crazy, my friends was thinking the same, I didnt care, I just want to make my dream come true. Andre was my guide during all this travel, in that moment I was 26 and I didnt speak english but it wasnt a problem to enjoy of this animals around 5 days. Thanks Andre and his team for these beautifull days in Gansbaai.

Doing this kind of dive with a riled up bull shark is more dangerous since they don't rely on stealth when attacking. White sharks rely on the element of surprise. I believe that Jacques Cousteau once said that he feared the Oceanic White-tip more than the Great White based on his personal experience with both sharks.

Everything we can learn from the internet about sharks tells us: yes, the Longimanus is most brutal shark, which don't give any f*ck about anything. It wants to bite - it will bite no matter what. And it wants to bite most of the time. Nevertheless, this video is one of the truly few epic awe videos I have seen in my life. And the fact it was filmed, when I was very small, makes it even more awing for me. Andrey is just true sorcerer. The cameraman is brave adventurer, following the magician.

At about 03:00 where the cameraman loses track of the GW and it comes up behind him. There was a documentary once where a film crew followed the first? guy who ever swam cageless with GWs. The cameraman either had a chain-mail suit over his scuba gear or he was in a cage, the shark expert just had a normal suit and tanks... for protection IIRC he may have had a shark stick and his eyesight. So they attract a shark and this guy get's in the water and he and CM are facing each other for mutual protection, etc. The camraman is filming and he has the other divers top-half framed while the diver is looking towards the CM while looking for the shark which they'd lost track of. We, the viewers and the CM, can only see the diver and the murky water beyond him, and slowly a dark tint in the murk takes on the unmistakable form of a xxxxing huge Great White approaching them head on. The CM must have sxxt himself as he could be about to film his buddy get their head bit off and that must have transmitted itself to the diver who suddenly turned around, jerked back in shock as his worst nightmarer was mere feet away! To say he got a fright is a gross understatment. The GW was just looking ... it pointed its head to one side an went! I'd love to find the film again as that diver lost all his confident bravado.

I think the key to the entire clip is at 8:19 when he is starting to freak out and tells himself, "don't be frightened, otherwise they might sense my distress." If you remain calm and don't show any fear, they in turn are calm as well and are just curious and want to check you out. When you first start watching this, it is with a mixture of horror and disbelief at who in their right mind would do this. But then you start to see the beauty and majesty of these awesome creatures and you realize just how terribly misunderstood they truly are.
@LiaMSimp10 жыл бұрын
It's very easy for someone to assume that a shark is being "calm" or "docile" because it isn't attacking the diver. However a lot of peasants in society are extremely gullible and will believe claims made by "shark experts" who tell people the thing they want to hear "sharks are beautiful and misunderstood creatures; and are no danger to humans." When in-fact the only reason why the shark isn't attacking the diver is because - the diver is aware of the shark, and the shark realizes this. The great white wouldn't aggressively attack the diver on sight if the diver is aware - mainly because a predator that relies on prey to survive, cannot afford injury inflicted by prey that would impair its hunting. However it is true that sharks don't actively seek humans as prey; instead they bite out of curiosity. It's just a shame that the one bite can be fatal. If a shark was to actively hunt humans, you could expect a more traditional hunting method from the shark (breaching; continuously attacking etc...) This doesn't somehow excuse sharks from being dangerous predators. They are extremely dangerous because almost all victims had absolutely no idea of the shark's presence - allowing the shark to approach in such close proximity without endangering itself. I'm getting tired of the 'shark-lovers' who have absolutely no respect for the shark by treating it like a butterfly.

This guy narrating does explain a few things. He had his back against a reef for protection from behind. He said the spear gun helps keep them away. They were making sure neither shark came up from behind except at the one point where the camera man doesn't see the female behind him & you could hear the other diver screaming underwater. The one diver also mentions how he is trying to stay calm because he doesn't want the 2 sharks to sense distress because that could stir them up & make them become more aggressive. These 2 guys seem to know what they were doing. The swim to the surface would be stressful & I don't know if snorkelling at the surface is a good idea. They also made sure about the depth of the water it sounded like. When they went to the surface the first time I would be really worried as there were 2 15 footers circling. I have watched a lot of these videos with guys in cages & a few free dives but this was the first one I felt the diver actually was in complete control. He took the cameraman back up when he felt the sharks were getting too curious. Personally I would have released my brown shark repellent into the water the second I spotted one...

This is truly the most interesting video of freediving with Great White Sharks I've ever watched. To begin with Andre has learned the subtleties of Great White behaviour in a way others haven't. Then, the shark's behaviours are very obvious in this video. Their displays & posturing seem to be exaggerated for Andre's benefit such as the lowering of their pectoral fins, arching of their backs & gaping, when they feel threatened or agitated. In addition, the sharks appear to actually relate to Andre after initially testing him for dominance as they would other sharks, which is interesting simply because Andre isn't another Great White Shark yet these sharks treat him like he is one. Andre's dives with these magnificent & crucial apex predators actually exhibits their intelligence in a way that has typically been underestimated & so poorly understood. Their social behaviour is so subtle ungainly & oblivious as most humans have become we miss what has become very obviously their way of communicating to Andre & something most who dive with Great Whites seem to miss entirely, as even after many dives with the shark's don't appear to respond to them or actually communicate with them as they do with Andre. Somehow Andre has understood these sharks in a way others have not & the sharks seem to know it, as they seem to treat him as somewhat of an equal, which is amazing by the fact it reveals their higher learning capabilities. The fact they recognize him as another predator capable of defending itself if necessary & choose to remain is interesting but, more importantly they appear to be studying his behaviour for reasons beyond determine whether he's something they want to eat. They appear to actually like interacting with him & are very curious about those he brings with him yet they remain courteous to them in his presence, almost respectful of him & his guests. It's truly fascinating to watch on so many levels. Andre should be mentoring many of those freediving with Great White's today so they're more "tuned in" & much more can be learned about their intelligence & social behaviour studying the sharks in as safe a manner as possible, while diving with them outside of cages. Freediving & scientists wishing to dive outside of cages with Great White Sharks should seek Andre's mentoring & training, before doing further dives with these powerful & obviously intelligent sharks. On a side point, it would seem a defensive device modeled after a device as simple & effective as a cattle prod would be very useful while interacting with Great White's that become too pushy or behave in an aggressive manner, if Andre needs to make a strong point to one of them it's behaviour is unacceptable especially since Andre has no comparable armament in the way of teeth with which to give a disciplinary bite nor can he use gaping to show his displeasure. Freediving scientists may find such a device a useful safety measure, as well as those freediving with Great Whites & other shark species for the purposes of filming them, etc... A fairly powerful electric shock of perhaps 12 volts may be a sufficient method of disciplining unruly Great Whites & a life saving tool under multiple circumstances where sharks may become aggressive (abilone diving) or agitated & overly excited posing a series threat to life & limb. In addition, just displaying to the sharks the shock devices with patterns sharks may associate with poisonous or sea life otherwise dangerous to them applied to such devices in conjunction with or in lieu of actually using the shock the device can deliver may be sufficient in itself to ward off aggressive behaviours & prevent potential attacks, as well as help in determining shark's learning capabilities even more clearly, as shark's behaviour may actually be able to be conditioned to some degree by the use of such devices, if it's determined by their use in defensive situations the sharks appear to retain memory relating to receiving multiple shocks from the device in a disciplinary manner under specific circumstances or having the patterned device repeatedly presented to them in the same types circumstances.

I'd rather drag my dick through a mile of broken glass than to use a cattle prod under water.

i don't know if i'd call it intelligent or just highly instinctive Orcas haven't killed a single human in the wild, only in captivity. They seem to NOT mistake us as prey the way whites sometimes do.

The detail on the shark is beautiful but I agree how frightening that it can some and go in moments and blend in

Like how it fades in the background, so when it attacks, you really do never see that thing coming.

I just love how curious great whites are. You can't help but wonder what goes on in their minds as they survive in the oceans. How do they feel about us when they're fear or suspicion about these strange creatures enters their watery home? Great stuff.
