wow humans care so much about what is left to see about other planets. But there's so much left unseen under the ocean, it's just amazing. Completly breathtaking, a whole diferent world from what we see everyday.

[@cosmonautchimp3649]

SEAQUEST DSV!!! But only the first season.

[@Crumbeyeolo]

Nice to see a Greenland shark without parasites on its eyes. Great videos!

[@bertiebirdman]

Loved how its eyes were moving to scan its surroundings.

[@TheGEERG]

@arknell The green lasers are used to measure the length of the shark.

I really wish I could do this someday, I love shark diving and this is just so unique. Perhaps one day I'll find a way to do it.

[@TheGEERG]

Thank you. Jean-Michel Cousteau was at this very location in 1980 aboard the Calypso. As far as I know, no dives were made.

[@phil2856]

Thanks for posting, Very interesting Shark!

[@JustinBerke]

I'm guessing the lasers are parallel and are an equal distance apart, thus allowing a diver to quickly eyeball what a meter is, for instance, from varying distances? Is this close? Very clever.

[@OceanFuturesSociety]

Great video - thanks for sharing

[@desertrosesand]

Usual presence or could it be due to climate changes warming?

[@tarentinoOB]

waouw ! thanks

[@dutchfreeheel]

@TheGEERG A very rare encounter indeed you lucky guys, how big was this mellow shark than, I am guessing around 4 m.

[@ChunkyZergling]

greenland sharks kick ass

[@arknell]

What was the point of the green laser equipment in the end of the clip?

[@insanemoveproduction]

insane!

[@alexgarciabalgue9204]

nice video

[@kosmik8647]

Woah, it's really moving very slowly.

[@hotlanta35]

they dont have the eye parasites that other Greenland/Sleeper sharks have elsewhere

[@TheGEERG]

@Gnoppong The water is green.

[@nudist77a]

Well....we now know that the Greenland shark is impervious to green lasers. How will we ever kill this horrible monster? There just has to be a way! : (

[@arknell]

@TheGEERG That is six ways of awesome - I wish I could shoot docile sharks with lasers, to their mild amusement.

[@RoryOkeefe]

Why'd they point green lasers at it?

[@cyberjonesy]

Its a device that measures the length of the animal.

[@MiloPee]

It looks dead inside and outside
