The Great White Sharks of Guadalupe - Adventure Ocean Quest 1/5 - Go Wild

The great white shark has a fearsome reputation and diving with them is definitely a risky business. But Frederic wants to show a different side of the infamous great white: Mexican zoologist Mauricio Hoyos believes that their aggression is triggered by excessive disturbance in the water. He wants to get to the bottom of the sharks’ secretive migrations and their interactions with other species, including humans.

Biggest predator in the ocean aside from a 20,000 lbs 32 foot Orca that loves liver.....

[@wendyburrows4178]

that was my thought too

[@IdonthaveatwittersoFoff.]

Orcas don’t want human liver….that’s the frightening distinction

[@Acroporuh]

@@IdonthaveatwittersoFoff. sharks don’t necessarily predate on humans

[@Blackhawks87]

@@Acroporuh I beg to differ. It's very rare but they have consumed humans and do predate. How about the video of the British guy being bit in half in Australia and then the white comes back to literally eat the rest of him. I don't think they're mindless killers and I love sharks, I also don't think that we're on their menu(99% of the time) but if they're hungry or injured they'll do what they need to do to survive.

[@IdonthaveatwittersoFoff.]

@Julian that’s what I mean….they are so deliberate as to predate on the largest shark for that specific organ. They are intelligent enough to discern between human and competition within the ocean food chain.

[@quasar6235]

The orca is the number one of the oceans!!!! Top of the food chain!

[@scottb3034]

Except it isn't.

[@bender0428]

I have to say the freediving idea seems REALLY stupid lmao. Especially the scene on them literally all just chilling at the surface looking around. That’s like, trying to look as much like a seal as possible with the fins and everything lmao. I’m AMAZED they weren’t just consistently targeted and charged from below like that.

[@SUEDUCE]

That is crazy how they will just go diving to find a great white shark knowing at anytime they can be a steak!

[@samajier2566]

Amazing video

[@user-nacv-8867]

Great video. Thanks for sharing

[@aliciahawkins114]

I love the Great Whites!!! These majestic creatures should be protected world wide!!!!

[@JM-gk1kp]

great video Thx

[@aaronbarlow4376]

I know people have already commented but the great white is NOT the top of the ocean food chain nor the most powerful predator in the ocean and it DOES fear something, Orcas.

[@craftycrafter1960]

Oh yes Orcas eat great whites for breakfast!

[@scottb3034]

Well that's also wrong because the SPERM WHALE would be at the very top then and is the most feared and powerful predator in the sea.

[@aaronbarlow4376]

@@scottb3034 An orca would defeat a sperm whale, they're faster, more manoeuvrable and more intelligent.

[@scottb3034]

@@aaronbarlow4376 An orca (singular) couldn't beat ANY singular sperm whale. Orcas fail to find much success when they are in pods against *female* Sperm Whales which are only like *35 feet* long. Orcas don't even attempt to attack a *55 foot bull* because they are too aggressive and powerful. Sperm whales by the way are fast for their size, extremely maneuverable (and can dive to depths the orca could only dream of) and are extremely intelligent (in fact sperm whales have the largest brains of any animal on earth)....that doesn't mean they are smarter than Orcas but they aren't that far behind...Killer Whales aren't even the smartest dolphin. Oh and a bull Sperm Whale has the largest Teeth of all cetaceans AND weigh 90,000 lbs vs the 6-10,000 of an orca. A bull sperm whale could take down large ships....perhaps you've heard of the novel Moby Dick? That's inspired by a real-life sinking of the ship called the Essex by a sperm whale.. that ship was 90 feet long. Have an orca try to do that.

[@nonameavailable6004]

Never ever seen an orca take on anything by itself though .. That's why they are called wolves of the sea, they hunt in packs .. A sperm whale destroys an orca 1on1 any day

[@graceunderwood8902]

What an amazing documentary. What an honour to swim so close with these beautiful great white sharks 🦈

[@aaronbarlow4376]

What a dimwitted idea.

They're all kind of lucky that Lady Deep Blue doesn't show up, hungry.

@ 2:44 Somehow I don't think so... U would NOT get in the water... Unless it was in a cage within a cage & I had some sort of underwater Tazar 🙄

[@reneesantiago6496]

Biggest predator in ocean is an Orca

[@scottb3034]

No it isn't.

[@davesmith5656]

At about 12:43 I don't think I've ever seen a better facial expression than that on the cameraman telling, "I'm too old for this s___".

[@williamsweet7511]

Kinda unpredictable, someone out for a swim in the ocean, boom, killed by a white shark. Some dudes go out in a boat looking for them for clicks on the internet and nothing. Sharks swim right by, basically ignoring them. I've been in the pacific ocean when a white shark swam by, 10 meters away. I was scuba diving at 60 feet deep. Obviously it didn't kill me or even pay attention to me. Would I do it on purpose, NO. It reminds me of the guy who thought Grizzly bears were not dangerous and they killed him in his tent.

[@misskitty933]

For the same reason, many people consider cats to be unpredictable, mean, and vicious because they don't understand their rules and laws. This guy who got eaten by grizzly bears thought they were his friends and ignored their ground rules. At the time of the attack, he arrived very late and had never been there for that time of year and the grizzly that attacked him was new to the area. I understand when great white sharks attack humans, they mistake them for seals or they just bite to find out what weird creature they encountered. Unfortunately for us humans this is mostly deadly.

[@ghostshirt1984]

Every time you're in the ocean! You're in the sharks home and they are there when you don't know they are there. Also these people are experts on sharks so it's not the same as the grizzly man story you say, grizzly man was a radical activist not a grizzly bear expert also these shark experts are a live and well shark diving.

[@aaronbarlow4376]

@@ghostshirt1984 Sharks are unpredictable, and it just takes that one set of environmental variables and a shark in an aggressive or hangry mood and it's curtains for the 'expert'.

The only guy with common sense is the dude with the rebreather filming from the cage.

Awww the seals….. my heart

You mean the nom noms? 😊 They are a seriously cute animal though.

[@robertdiehl1281]

There have been people from different Asian countries paying local fishermen in the Sea of Cortez to fish for sharks, endangered seals and certain fish as species for 50 years.

[@aaronbarlow4376]

2:37 I thought he said "what we do is bring in powerful mages" Yep wizards could cast a wide variety of spells to incapacitate the shark.

[@nonameavailable6004]

This might as well be a soap opera but not a shark movie

[@robinmccoy9710]

Ok, so exactly what would they do if the shark didn't turn away at the last minute? Other than possibly die?

[@daviddeen491]

Arrrr they be sea monsters 🦈

[@robinmccoy9710]

Have any divers swam with Orkas?? I really wish i could do that, it would be so amazing. Provided they didn't use me for a squeeky toy....

[@caryboyd2181]

The problem I have is the narrator says the White Shark is the apex predator of the Ocean when clearly Orca is the apex predator. Smarter, sonar equipped and don't make mistakes.

[@scottb3034]

The orcas is NOT "the" apex predator.

[@UseADamnCoaster]

If sharks weren't loners they'd be unstoppable, but they roam the oceans alone. But orcas and humans have shown that teamwork is the key to defeating them

[@sirus312]

not true the great Atlantic battle of 1956 had 3000 great whites vs 1000000 Tuna. The tuna out flanked the great white, but the whites were able to build a wedge and break the flank apart thus winning the war.

[@billbally4419]

That's so dumb. What are you 10 years old?

[@UseADamnCoaster]

@@billbally4419 no, imagine a gang of sharks hell bent on destruction. Sounds worse than 1 shark by itself, doesn't it? Even a 10 year old could use that logic but I guess you lack it. Tough sledding bud.

First statement false. The largest Apex pred.is not the Great White Shark. It is a great hunter and has a terrible rep. but the Apex is the Orca.

[@wor53lg50]

Always amazies me when showing GWS of this area as they all seem to have mating scars and look pregnant, obviously its a very special place why so many measure's are put in place, it would be interesting to see in a few years of tagging that if any of these follow the gulf stream to give birth in the med, as many have suspected in the past before commercial purse net tuna fishing and other types depleted the stocks they was common there but they still show up as far as greece and the agean.....

If its Mexican navy. They are sailors not soldiers

[@seanslattery6366]

Seem like it's Zero fun to be surrounded by sharks that can end You with 1 bite to leg . Being paranoid and having to have head on swivel while they continue to circle and look for oppurtunity. Absolutely Zero fun and complete waste of time and money. Leave the sharks alone . You don't belong down there . Then again ive Made 9 skydives which some may not enjoy . I found it an unmatchable rush. That said these people don't look like they're having fun .
