And when the Shark you see like a nice dinner ? Not every Shark is friendly

[@lawrencestark8983]

I served in the Coast Guard back in the 70's and the 80's i had many close shark encounters off of Florida and up and down the east coast side. I'm 65 now and I've been scuba diving since 1974 and I see my share of sharks in the Gulf almost every time

[@drd6893]

In the Gulf of Mexico, which sharks do you see? Bull sharks, I have heard, are quite common. Ever had a bad experience?

[@PaulRiley-ue6tj]

Bless you brother, Jesus be with you and your loved one,s Amen Selah ❤️

[@lawrencestark8983]

@drd6893 I've seen bulls,tigers,mako,and even great whites in the gulf. They go where the water is warm and bait fish is plentiful

[@kiki29073]

Many apex species such as Great Whites actually hunt in the surf. Attacks often happen in less than 15 foot of water.

[@miapdx503]

God bless our Coast Guard! I'm in Portland Oregon and our coastline is no joke. We rely on the Guard, especially our fishing boats. I keep you all in my prayers 🌹⚓

[@drd6893]

I’m in Maine, same thing here!❤

[@brandondodd3133]

Eugene Oregon right here

[@jojowynne233]

Hi! Thanks for the video 🙏 I had a lucky escape from an 8 ft black tip reef shark 🦈 I’m an Aussie and we went out on a Yacht to the outer reef of the Great Barrier Reef. I was more scared of Irukandji than I was of sharks tbh. They are the tiniest jellyfish 🪼 that leave you in the most horrendous pain for days and possibly can kill you. The Box Jellyfish will kill you but I didn’t want a medivac from an Irukandji 😂 The water was perfectly blue 60 metres deep and clear all the way down. I thought I’d jump in and practice my snorkelling on the boat anchor chain. As I got off the stairs I happened to turn my head right and saw the shark heading straight for me with speed from underneath the boat! I nearly turned the water brown! 😂 I quickly turned back to the stairs yelling SHARK and others on the boat hoisted me out. The shark swam past the stairs looking for me I think? I honestly didn’t think reef sharks were much to worry about back then. I know better now. That’s my shark story. No bite even. I’m so glad I turned my head and looked because bloody goggles do obscure your side vision. 😂😢

[@alexmckay2629]

Love the Coast Guard and love sharks. The video is amazing. Thank you to all our military personnel past and present. I appreciate it.

[@cardiogirl798]

Total respect for these men and women who work so hard to keep everyone safe

[@user-hy9gy9we3e]

Our 5th branch of the military!!! They are also vital to our country!!! Kudos

[@porterandmjyoung4599]

spent a lot of free dive spear fishing time in the Bahamas. many encounters with sharks, most benign, but once in maguana (last island heading s to grand camans) 4 of us were spear fishing in about 30 feet of water. i was returning with a grouper to the dinghy in 3.5' of water when i saw about an 8'+ bull circling fast and headed at me. i stretched myself out length wise, spear in front. it literally flashed past me close enough to push me sideways. the other 3 divers swam toward me splashing, pulling his attention away from me. yes, there was blood in the water. most encounters if the shark were threatning, you could see their agitation. and don't bother thinking you can shoot or stab or outswim. remain calm, protective, ease to safety.

[@mccune4998]

First off I enjoyed the video. We always had shark watches while we had swim call just for that reason. One thing your video did not mention about one of the U.S. Coast Guard's duties is Aids to Navigation. It's oftentimes overlooked because it's not a "pretty" part of the Coast Guard but it's an important part of the Coast Guard.

[@navyproductions]

Thank you for your valuable comment!

[@michaelbarker742]

As a scuba diver, I have encountered sharks every time I have gone diving. The presence of sharks is typically an indication of healthy sea life. Leave them alone and they will leave you alone.

[@clintstinkeye5607]

I thought your post was going to end with, "muhaha....haha... MUHAHAHAHA!"

[@kristentt]

So bizarre. I just got my OW cert last year so i could see sharks in their own environment. . The divers I have talked to rarely see them. It was sad to me.

[@cory_hugs7850]

Just don’t hang around the surface looking like prey, also keep eye contact, they like sneaking up on their meals

[@deemariedubois4916]

Great comment. Sharks are necessary for healthy oceans. They are critical to our ecosystems. I agree leave them alone.

[@christineraines4673]

🦈 are ambush predators, their behavior is unpredictable

[@dinkeydink9376]

Thank you for your service, all men and women in the Coast Guard and Navy! ❤

[@jessicapizarro681]

We just had our boat anchored in the day and we’re swimming and a shark about 3-4 feet came by and looked like he was feeding , didn’t bother us any but we all quickly jumped out out of the water and back onto the boat.

[@DavidGilesColorado]

Our waters? I’m pretty sure the sharks were here first.

[@johnmartin2079]

You guys have the best means of diverting the question have coast guard rescue swimers been attacked while under emergency or while conducting exercise manouvers.

[@celestebredin6213]

The coastguard is admirable . They deserve a more professional program ‼️ Perhaps it is just that voice !

[@jannweitman4431]

We were at crabbing at Yaquina Bay in Oregon in the 90s and a male and female Orcas breached only about 500 yards from our puny 20 foot boat!

[@sundragon7703]

As a teenager, surfing with sharks was pretty normal because it pays to know your sharks and know the "rules". We never got out of the water unless there was a tiger shark with us. (Know your shapes) The cardinal rule was "no matter how small a cut to the body was, stay out of the water. On a different tangent, jellyfish were a bigger concern. Most of them were Man-o-war with the occasional box jellyfish.

[@jessicapizarro681]

What about a woman who is surfing and has her cycle? I always worry about that with my daughter who is a surfer

[@NaomivanTonder-jr7jx]

​@@jessicapizarro681 Interesting question. Any profesionals to answer this please.

[@Cornpops_Revenge]

@@jessicapizarro681blood 🩸 is blood 🩸…Best to have her avoid shark habitats during that time. If you google said topic you will find mixed answers, with the majority of women saying they “feel great” in the water during menstruation, and notice no difference in the behavior of sharks… However a woman’s “feelings” are just that, feelings… not facts… As I said before, blood 🩸 is blood 🩸, and different women have different amounts of bleeding during said time… While the chances of shark attacks are statistically very low, sharks have an incredible sense of smell and can sense a single drop of blood 🩸 in the water from miles away… Blood in the water makes sharks act more aggressive, which could pose an increased risk to not only her, but anyone in the water around her… There was a case where a mother helplessly watched her 21 y/o daughter get attacked in the Bahamas by a tigershark while swimming during her cycle… She unfortunately didn’t make it, and her mother nearly also didn’t make it… Why risk it and just plan accordingly??? Imagine someone getting bitten, or even worse, killed just because she couldn’t wait a few days… Men and women are biologically different, and certainly not “equal.” Just because us men are biologically superior in every way, including being able to swim/surf/scuba dive 24/7 365 days a year without attracting apex predators of the sea, you women have no right to essentially become human chumming machines, endangering other swimmers, just because you decided to be selfish and unsafe, and not wait until your menstruation 🩸 has ceased… 🌊🩸 🦈🩸 🏄🏻‍♀️🏊🏻‍♀️ 🩸🦈🩸🌊

[@freyaamberfolkvangr7678]

I am not a surfer, but I would think it would not be a good idea.

[@platoon1016]

Sounds like we need the Coast Guard on our Southern Border, Anyone Else Agree?

[@4y5vethgergtfdhb]

They are there and have been there for awhile. People and sharks are not the same, but that should go without saying.

[@calgal5752]

Obviously ….they are already there. Where have you been?

[@quidam53]

When I lived in the Galápagos Islands I swam with white tips and hammerheads. They were unaggressive because most times they came to the Galapagos to sleep in circles or to clean themselves. There has never been an accident.

[@ardeladimwit]

6:26 that looks suspiciously like an aircraft carrier which is slightly bigger than any USCG cutter or ship. USCG usually comes in orange/red and white.

[@momoknows]

During training in the Corp I was a 2512 Comm back in the day its not around anymore I feared Crocs snakes and Bugs and we also trained in Minnesota camp Ripley for cold weather and that was Tough .

[@michaelchamberlain4618]

Yes while I was in the Coast Guard out in the North Atlantic 80 mi off Nantucket 22 ft great white

[@kempersmith6462]

My encounters have been with barracudas rather than sharks. I have had a fin ripped off my foot in a tidal pool and been struck in my mask at a beach.

[@cartermorganayres5263]

It's possible that the low frequency vibrations given off by hovering helicopters may attract a shark which is swimming nearby.

[@lennlenja8173]

I had encountered sharks during my night and day time spearfishing.

[@ghiacoquette8486]

That unicorn float out there with them-😂😂

[@Fred-vy1hm]

It ain't the sharks coming to close, pretty sure they're in their natural habitat and are behaving precisely the way sharks do. 🤔

[@drd6893]

When you’re in the middle of the ocean, splashing about, it’s going to attract curiosity and sharks. They are attracted to splashing

[@ardeladimwit]

where there's tuna, there's sharks

[@user-sh5ds5es5p]

Probably in any huge body of water 💦 lol even without Tuna 🍣 lol. You couldn’t pay me to go out in the ocean or sea even if I could swim.

[@thomasmacginnes100]

That’s fishermen boats and sailors on (SL) lol

[@Kahuna54]

While surfing I have had several encounters from watching them swim by to seeing them attack fish and seals and including pulling a young Gremmie who was bitten by a shark in Southern California. I was surfing on the south side of the Huntington Beach Pier one night in the mid 70s when my girlfriend yelled down that a fisherman had just caught a 5 foot shark on the north side of the pier. She was asking me to get out of the water even though there were several of us surfing that night. I asked if the fisherman had kept the shark and she replied he had, at which I said “you are closer to it than I am” and I continued to catch a couple more waves before I finally went in.

[@jannweitman4431]

Would you do that now!?

[@thankyou_thatssokind]

Thankful I found your Video on my phone 🤳 thank you legends 🗡️

[@joahetchells326]

They are not aggressive, let you know there not going anywhere. They give you a loose cover while diving. How ever you know thing could change.

[@firstlast1047]

I read your incoherent muttering. But, what are you talking about???

[@tonyholland5337]

The min you mentioned maritime law you lost me lol

[@artbobik3516]

I have run into several sharks in South Florida and the Keys since I arrived here in the Navy in Jan 67 - I was not spear fishing so they just stayed sleeping or swam by ignoring me as I did them - now Cudas is a different story - I am a underwater detectorist and the detector sound attracts them - you will hear there clicking sound and find them just staying still watching you - if you start digging to recover something they will come in at full speed to see what's in the hole to eat, you just push them away - they have never attempted to bite me - except for one time in 68 - I was at Bahia Honda before it was a State Park and still had only the old bridge - I was diving looking for treasure by Eyesite, no underwater detectors yet and the person I was diving with had a spear gun - there was this huge Cuda looking at me and he was behind it to left and point the gun at it and did not hear me scream NO - the spear bounce off its side as I pulled my knife - it hit my knife and was stunned - I had my back to the shore and started kicking as hard as I could - I think I got on a plane until I ran had aground - my knife and snorkel are still there and I never dove with him again - By the way that was my first encounter with a Cuda and I painted everything shiny black after that - I was 17 1/2 when I reported aboard my first Sub and still love being under water in my late 70'S

[@thomasmacginnes100]

In fresh water we call those little devils Pickerel” lol They are onto anything shiny and fast , you never see one bigger than 24” and that is exceeding rare and they are not dangerous to humans but other critters in their habitat they Are “Cudas” !

[@conniechamberlain1259]

Deadly

[@jozette-pierce]

Very impressive. The coast guard is a "can do" organization. ❤

[@TMAN0603]

I live in Florida and when in College, an English Professor gave us an assignment to write on any subject we wanted to. Stupid me, instead of writing about Skydiving or Mountain Climbing, I wrote about Shark Attacks. I used 6 books to reference and got an A-. However, no way l will swim in the ocean. A swimming pool is for me. All that data was just too much. 😳

[@daveboyo920]

When I have encountered the odd shark when diving I usually find the brown cloud released by me scares them off !!! 🤣🤣

[@rockymntdan1]

If I knew he didn't want to kill it and I was in the water: I would be PISSED.

[@davidmathes6730]

I remember spacing out and letting a 16 + foot Tiger shark 🦈 get with 1 foot of my feet, it was terrifying, so I changed the channel 😂😊

[@joanneburattini4828]

NO SHARKS..BUT CROCS ,YES

[@randomthoughts9463]

Balistics laws have been proven that shooting into water is only effective up to 3ft under water (from a .22 of the most effective depth). The larger the calibre, the more friction and stop shorter than 3ft.

[@firstlast1047]

Shooting sharks will create blood, which will attract other sharks

[@user-vs1el4vb1q]

I can say most definitely no I will never meet a shark because my ass don't go in that water

[@tamisullivan8548]

I'll tell you one thing no matter how much protection from the coast guard's there I still wouldn't have went for a swim that shark was freaking close to the people even though they were protected somewhat 😆🤦🏻‍♀️

What I can’t understand is how scientists speak on behalf of animals that they’re studying? As HUMANS WE!!!! , Have Cultural, Racial , Political, Ethnically situations that WE!! can’t understand but because of HUMANS being more advocates FOR REASONS that are based on career rather than….. those reasons?? In other words. RACE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN REASON!!. Any activist would save their child before the animal that they trying to protect.

[@carolrainey8463]

So you think that as long as people leave the sharks alone they will leave us alone. 😂😂ha ha ha ha ! You couldn't be more wrong! Tell that to all the people who have been attacked by sharks when they weren't doing anything to the sharks. Watch the videos on KZbin called: SHARKS HAPPEN. No crap, no dramatics, no long stories about each victim. Just the true facts about each attack, what kind of shark, victim name and where and when the attacked happened and what it did to the victims. It's now the best shark videos on KZbin!!

[@lawrup]

[@elibrown8539]

I was intrigued from the picture, but 5 into this video and it’s just you talking, talking talking talking talking I apologize for my disrespect, but there’s millions of human beings in this world in this country alone with everything that’s going on who wants to sit there and listen to this I want to see the video get to the point.. best of luck and my apologies and yes, I made a screwed up remark and then apologize because I don’t mean to be a jerk but I’m not looking to waste my time just listening to somebody talk talk talk talk talk and then when I finally get to see what I want it only last 10 seconds or less

[@jonathanh6483]

This is a ridiculous video that is alarmist and irresponsible. Sharks are part of the sea. If you value the environment or nature, you appreciate sharks. As a diver, it is a privilege to see a shark, although they are usually at depth and shy away. Sure there is the occasion predators as there are in many species. Unless you have a bloody fish on your belt or you're threatening their young, shark attacks are very rare. I am a surfer, diver and swimmer and your video perpetuates ignorance for clicks. Get real.
