100% agree! When you're working in the water, you've got to remember that you're in marine life territory and need to respect the ocean

[@dubsteppa420]

​@@BondiRescue Not just working, literally anyone entering into the water needs to accept this. The attitude this episode is written in however doesn't paint that picture. It's worded as though it's a human right to be able to swim at Bondi beach, and for some reason the humans have more rights to swim there than the sharks do. The nets wouldn't be there if people actually felt as though they have LESS of a right to be there than the sharks.

[@kylieknight2365]

Could happen to anyone and it’s apart of the job. My uncle was a police diver and for years said he doesn’t understand how no one has been attacked in the harbour because of the bronze whalers that he would often see and then it happens.

[@christienelson1437]

I believe it is much like bears. People throw garbage and food items onto the beaches and shores. Fishermen throw chum into the waters to attract fish which attract the sharks, dolphins and other sea creators. Don’t disrespect the oceans and all whom live there and you and others will be safer. 🌅💕💕♥️❤️

[@AGirlHasNoName1.618]

I live in Florida. Hundreds of miles of coastline. I was taught how to swim before I can really remember, as are most children here. I can't even imagine going in to the ocean without knowing how to swim...I just can't.

[@elizabethalderman8749]

Back when I couldn’t swim, I was under very strict observation at all times and was told to stay where my feet can stay COMPLETELY on the sand - no tip toes. As I got a little stronger at swimming it was and still is SWIM IN THE SAFE ZONES. I live up the coast in CT

[@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13]

Oh man tell me about it... I was taught to swim, I even grew up with a swimming pool in my yard and yet I know I'm not a terribly strong swimmer. If I'm in more than six feet of water for more than a few minutes, I'm pretty much drowning. I know that, I know my limitations, the ocean knows its and so when I do go to the beach I man the bbq and hang out with my dogs. We keep our distance and nobody has to die that day. I just don't get people who aren't making that calculation any time they go near something as obviously deadly as the friggin ocean

Most sharks aren't interested in people and would be scared by the crowds or large "animals". That shark probably got the fright of its life and was out of there faster than you could say crab sticks. The media, including this show, just loves to beat up the risk.

I was irritated earlier in the video when I saw the daily telegraph front page titled "Shark Attack Danger Ignored" and I can see that the lifeguards were irritated as well and took it quite personally. I would have also if I were them. I feel it was the duty of whoever was in that helicopter to notify the lifeguards of that threat so they could take proper action. It was by no means a lack of duty by the lifeguards! These men and women in blue are absolutely amazing!!💙

This episode was a roller coaster. Someone gets smacked in the face with a surf board. The lifeguards save four people at once. A person lost an arm/hand to a shark. Seeing the shark attack victim's hand just flopped over like that was a bit terrifying. I hope the guy is doing alright now.

It's no different than going into any other animals territory, you should be aware and understand that risk, regardless if you've experienced an attack or not.

[@peterfarell7696]

I would add that the probability of getting bitten by a shark is so low it's insignificant, they don't even eat human flesh, 99% of the time they only take a bite and then leave. Same with killer whale, they are harmless. Of course the probability is a bit higher if you are a surfer since they may misidentify you for a prey.

The lack of sharks isn’t really something to celebrate - it’s a big problem for the oceans and us.

[@JeffSmith-eq3kc]

Australia's inshore waters are absolutely loaded with sharks. Considerably different from offshore including different species of sharks. When you have 30,000+ people on a beach inside a Bay, a lack of sharks is absolutely something to celebrate. Inshore shark species are not endangered like some of the offshore species and it's not as though every part of the ocean is lacking sharks. Offshore on the East Coast of the US is flooded with sharks for example. It's mainly Asian and South American waters that are being decimated.

[@adriannelson3045]

@@JeffSmith-eq3kc found research by Australian experts and they say the opposite - for instance, numbers off Queensland coast declined by 90% in last 50 years.

[@adriannelson3045]

@@ponggaaa4854 with respect you’re totally missing the point. You need to read all of the responses, including mine. The lack of sharks in coastal areas is indicative of a wider issue - i.e. a massive global fall in shark numbers due to over fishing (shark fin market being the biggest culprit), habitat loss, pollution etc etc. Oceans are huge but they are also highly vulnerable, and with 8 billion people in the world and rising it’s ultimately likely to be very bad news in the next few decades, unless there is a miraculous turnaround, which sadly I can’t see happening.

I also am a native Floridian (50 years living on the coast and 13 years on a lake). I learned to swim by age 3, swam on the Orlando juniors swim team then swam on jr and sr high teams. The very first thing I ever taught my children was how to handle a rip current. Every time for the rest of their lives before entering the ocean we went over how to handle a rip current / basically every summer day, every fall day we went over rip current protocol. All my kids ended up being life guards and saw first hand how panicked people get in rip currents. Fortunately they only had to do a few rip rescues. The other safety talk was about sharks. Where we swim/surf at home we usually don’t get the more aggressive sharks nevertheless the no no is early morning swimming/surfing and sunset swimming/surfing and absolutely NO night swimming. And we all know that even with precautions we may get caught in a rip, we may get bitten by a shark but at least we are prepared and aware!

Very very brave men who helped out.

[@eliekemp126]

Yeah...let's not forget that the ancestors of the sharks were the absolute top of the food chain for millions of years (and currently still are for the most part)

Video related with sharks: Me: 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[@katematthews1771]

love the note next to the shark alarm (probably put there by bobby) that says "the seagulls have lifted, time to hit the shark alarm"

[@gentryearl2017]

Has Bondi ever considered getting a drone? It seems like a worthwhile investment for shark sightings.

[@Bttrycd]

These episodes r from around 2010. Ik they recently got one during covid.

[@BrianKitching-wv5nh]

​@Bttrycd thanks,cause i wondered when these episodes were from..

[@YangYiboWifeu]

This was filmed 2009-2010. Haven’t watched the recent season yet, but for sure they have improved their resources already

[@tatumh8184]

I can’t stop thinking about the guy that got hit in the head behind the life guard at 9:26

[@SamSWFL]

People need to have the mindset that the surfer has at the end

[@xplr_twdfan]

I completely forgot yall upload the episodes on here. I've been looking everywhere for somewhere to watch. Thank you 🙏

[@dramonmaster222]

YES! So excited for a Bondi Rescue eps. upload.

14:38 You need drones. They will help save lives and do Recon for sharks & people a drift.

[@racso8512]

I think this are uploads and the actual eps are like pretty old (because of the quality) so I don’t know if drones was that “trendy” at the time

[@racso8512]

but I 100% agree

I played water polo for years in highschool, swam in highschool, have been swimming since I was a child, as my grandmother taught all of us in her backyard pool as young as 5, but I know that I am no match for the ocean- nobody is. These lifeguards always provide a very sobering reminder.

[@oreagano9492]

The guy who got a cut on his nose is so strong I would have been out of it

[@Iamtheprinceso]

'He's broken his nose but Brendan's Irish humor is still intact'

[@Jzwiz]

Ima be honest, idk why people go in the water if they cant swim, get some lessons first. Maybe stick to a pool. Learning how to swim is super valuable. Started as a toddler and been fine ever since. Even just learning how to float on your back is huge cause its pretty hard to drown at tht point unless theres huge waves

[@Driving_Roo]

'launch into my hairstyle'- Harries 😂😂😂

[@livy7408]

Harries is the funniest guy ever, that one “rescue” he had where he was the girl and his jokes that he makes. They all make my day 😂❤ (Much love from Florida!)

[@BondiRescue]

He's such an icon 😂

[@whateverxox7366]

Sharks are one of my favorite animals. They don’t hunt humans. They mistake humans for another one of their prey and unfortunately attack at times but that is because they can’t tell the difference. They are a vital part of the ecosystem. Without them, ocean life will crumble. Remember when you are in the ocean, you are in their home. How would you feel if people came into your home and killed you because they were scared of the possibility of you hurting another person? How is that fair? People need to remember that we are apart of ecosystems that we share with other animals and plants. Just because we are the most developed organisms on earth, that doesn’t mean we are more important than other organisms.

[@panselinapendragon1731]

couldn’t have said it better, people call them monsters or horrible creatures but they are just trying to survive like us

[@krow9710]

I mean we kinda are more important. If your child died in a shark attack would you just shrug it off and say "its okay the shark was more important than my own child anyway"

[@linajurgensen4698]

“The seagulls have lifted“ 😆😂

[@idajessihall3215]

a shout out to all the people who helped Glen

[@TheJudiBambiPurrsParadox]

I'm not happy a shark is patrolling around Bondi beach, but the day after an attack is the kind of day I would go to the beach. I would rather hang by the shore anyway, checking out what has washed up, listening to only the surf and birds, no loud crowds, maybe sit in the sand where the water rushes up onto my legs...that's bliss to me. So the day after is my prime beach time, weirdly.

[@emilyrivard6616]

To anyone watching this, keep in mind that shark nets really are not affective especially because other animals we’ll get caught and then attract more predators to the beach

[@StreetSr]

That’s pretty rare, shark nets are just meant to separate sharks, and the beach. Nothing else.

[@emilyrivard6616]

@@StreetSr true, they arguably cause more harm than good in the long term though was what I was trying to refer to

[@StreetSr]

@@emilyrivard6616 still, the beach is a community area with hundreds of people trying to surf and swim, people don’t want things like sharks and dolphins hitting there borers or giving them mini heart attacks haha, anyway. In the long term. Say 15 years there probably gonna be out of use. So.

[@alexhuntley6067]

The 6 guys drowning was scary but very comedic in the way that they just all one by one got stuck in the rip

[@ForBidNChocolate]

Glad I came across your channel. Love it❤️ My oldest child's grandmother died by drowning and although we had a swimming pool, she doesn't do beaches, lakes, etc. My youngest daughter almost drowned in South Carolina here in the United States (someone said it's because tides we pulling her down), thank goodness my cousin's husband was there & saved her. It REALLY scared her and she was afraid to swim for awhile.

[@shellbacksclub]

Looked like the Invisible Man!

[@jessierabbit]

I'd go back out. I live in an area that gets great whites in the summer and I have been told since I could swim that there are great whites in the harbor when its warm enough. My grandfather who's a marine biologist taught me at a young age that sharks aren't out to get us and that they're quite beautiful creatures. I still swim off a family friends dock that is in the harbor and I always take a little extra time to sit there to see if I can spot any fins.

[@helenellsworth9556]

A shark doesn't come into my play ground, I don't go into theirs

[@lukasplag5628]

big fan of this show since long, but as a diver I have to say PLEASE don't touch anything, no fish, no plants, it's not cool and bad for them. also please stay away from the bottom. as divers especially - we should never bad harmful to marine life. thanks.

[@StreetSr]

How is petting a fish (just making light contact) dangerous for the fish? Just curious.

[@lukasplag5628]

@@StreetSr there's a thin film of protective substance like a slime on a fish's skin, if touched by humans it can cause skin problems / fungus and be a serious problem for some fish.

[@deborahriley1166]

For many years I have thought that it would be an amazing cooperative experience to have trained dolphins who could patrol the seas. They would have an alarm system in place to alert the lifeguards of a shark situation. 🤗💜

[@biancawashi5285]

I love that the homies were willing to die for their friends like they couldn't swim either but they saw a homie in need and went for it

[@kissyboots59831]

Don't blame the sharks. You're in THEIR habitat. We must protect them. They sre crucial to the ocean's ecosystem as well as our own.

[@katmandudawn8417]

I lived in Florida for a time in an area with many many sharks. There are things you can do to protect against shark attacks, like not being in the water at times of lower visibility, dusk etc. I am much more afraid of all those powerful rip currents that seem to constantly be running at Bondi. I mean there seem to be 4 or 5 at all times. If I ever get back to Australia and Sidney, you won’t catch me in that surf, even to meet a hunky lifeguard. 😉

[@Ariiyuhh]

I remember about a week after moving to Florida, everyone had been telling us that the sharks didn’t attack people and that attacks were rare and such, and then our next door neighbor was out surfing and got her leg bit 😭😭 it’s never deterred me from going out but the timing was incredible. Her leg is fine, it wasn’t a bad bite but she did have stitches. I’m pretty sure she still surfs.

[@Soshstar999]

Would probably be a really good idea to invest into a nice drone just for looking for sharks, especially considering how well you can see them from the air

[@lyndabethcave3835]

Drones weren't really a thing in 2010. . .

[@michaelknight2721]

My dad nearly lost his life in a rip.We were on a day trip at the beach,we were playing football on the beach when suddenly it went into the water were it got carried out to sea,my dad went in for the ball,he got it but said he had a he'll of a time getting back to shore with the ball.Fortunatley he knew how to swim in a rip,knowing that saved his life that day.
