- Adventurist and Discovery host Jimmy Hall swims with the first ever documented Great White Shark in Hawaiian waters. @/jimmy-hall-tribute This is amazing video up close and person with no cage. @/jimmy-hall-tribute
what a beautiful animal.
We completely understand his emotions.
We walked beside a Tiger (the furry one) once guiding his path with our touch.
We also call it one of our best life experiences. Highly emotional and humbling.
He died in 2007 while base jumping I met him 2 months before that and that was what made me swim with sharks I've swam with a great white last summer
OMG you're right , so sad , he will be missed .

A lot of people were taken by surprise by his death. He loved life to the fullest and did a lot of crazy things...
One of Jimmy Hall's mentions : "When I jump in out there and see how clear it is, how blue the water is, and all the sharks, it just takes my breath away every time I jump in there"
He must have trouble walking with balls like that.
It's like this. If you have a gun and see a deer but are not hungry, the deer will be perfectly safe. If, however, you have a gun, see a deer, and are hungry, that deer better hit the road as fast as it can.
What I am saying is this. The shark clearly was not hungry, but curious. What if you had met a hungry shark of that size? Your experience would have been emotional, but I doubt the outcome would have been the same.
Moral of the story: They aren't always hungry, but when they are...
G. MacDonald Old MacDonald had a farm eieio. And on that fish farm he had some sharks. Eieio...
G. MacDonald You are so wrong, sharks evolved without seeing humans so they don't know what we are or that we could be eaten by a shark. They don't see us as pray, they are just very curious because they have never seen a human. Sometimes the sharks feel threatend and thats when they attack but that is extremly rarly.
Jimmy Hall RIP. He loved to live life at full speed. He died in 2007 while base jumping.
Looks like Deep Blue from Baja waters
I have so much respect for this man right now. people do not realize that sharks do not look to man as a source of food, but the vast majority of attacks are simply a curious attempt at trying to figure out what you are. Most attacks are simply a bite. If a shark were trying to kill a person, then an animal that large would most certainly be able to carry through with that attempt.
Sharks are one of the most vital and interesting attributes to our oceans. I'm glad this man realizes it.
:)
I'm feeling done man love for Jimmy right now.. Freaking awesome shit bro!
May 9th, 2007 will be remembered as a very sad day.
Adventurer Jimmy Hall was killed in a tragic accident north of the Arctic Circle. Jimmy was in a very remote area near Sam Fjord on Baffin Island in Canada filming a documentary on the region that included base jumping from the incredibly harsh mountains. Jimmy died during one of those base jumps. The area is so remote, it's only accessible by plane, snowmobile, and then dogsled
aww i wanna hug this cute little thing
The water was amazingly clear, visibility helps greatly. Also notice his suit mimicked a sea snake pattern. Al ocean predators avoid sea snakes.
Awe inspiring. Great Whites are incredible.
The sheer size has to be some sort of record. Not so much the shark, but rather his balls for getting in the water with it.
It takes some serious balls to get in water with that thing!
Jimmy is the man
I would laugh so hard if the shark suddenly came back and bit his hand off.
Shark: "Nothing personal but I have a reputation to uphold."
Thats a guy with balls allright!
@GamingGenius That's why they said several times in the video that seeing a Great White in the waters near Hawaii is rare.
Kaiden and Bailee asked me about great whites today. couldnt think of anything better than to show them Jimmys video. They dont remember being at his funeral but I will always tell them to live life to the fullest and teach them of a prime example. Mahalo Jimmy. Except when you guys let Kaiden in the water with the sharks and no cage. Hes seven now and whenever he meets someone new he tells them he swam with sharks as a baby.... so he thinks you were pretty awesome.
It's actually "the tiny electric impulses that a body emits with every motion, blinking and heartbeats alike." They attack a panicked animal out of instinct, hence your misconception that a high heart rate forces it to feed. Usually these attacks are by a confused shark.
The man has interacted with many sharks before. I'm sure his heart was racing, but in excitement. His experience simply made him know how to behave around these amazing creatures in order to reduce the chances of an attack.
beautiful animal. i wonder if she was pregnant she looked fat and healthy
i understand his feelings exactly
i love Sharks,especially Great White
That's beautiful someone who understands things
I think we're gonna need a bigger boat quote to the max
I've got big balls and you've got big balls... But Jimmy has the biggest balls of them all
Go jimmy that must have been very very fun.
He unfortunately died in 2007, having pushed his luck a bit too much. Nothing to do with sharks, however, he was base jumping a few weeks before he was supposed to film Shark Week with the great whites in Australia
OMG! BETTER ALERT PETA. HE TOUCHED THE SHARK.
ur a champion, if only more ppl had ur same mentality we wouldnt see animals on the verge of extinction etc etc
Hats of to the guy, but truly, the Shark is in total control of that situation, for sure.
Balls of steel.
Thats awsome!!! great experiance!!!
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
met him a long time ago at sandy beach body surfing , very kool braddah aloha jimmy !R.I.P.
That guy is nuts!
It is huge and awesome!
That dude is nuts. He has Grizzly Man written all over him.
That´s so cool that he dove outside the cage close to a White shark. I would be too scared to do that.
Awesome video bro!
Beautiful!
Amazing
Amazing video for sure. So sad that Jimmy Hall, the diver, was killed in 2007 while base jumping. He charged life for sure! Peace Out.
I went diving with sharks before, it is incredible. Most of them between 6 and 9 feet long but nothing like a great white...
people always say you are more likely to get hit by lightning than get bitten by a shark, but if you figure in how many people are around a thunderstorm compared to how many people are around a shark i think you can get a more accurate picture
RIP Jimmy Hall.
I love seeing videos like this...amazing stuff are sharks...
Sharks, especially and essentially the Great White sharks, have the ability to perceive heart beats from organisms in near encounters small distances. I believe Jimmy Hall is able to be in waters with sharks simply because he can control his fears and then retain a low pulse. Sharks for that reason, wont see him as a potential treat or meatball.
Wow this is awesome Rest in peace Jimmy Hall ^_^
Jimmy grew up in the ocean and is gonna end up in the ocean. In the form of shark poop. Oops guess not. The body of American adventurer Jimmy Hall was sent home to Hawaii from Clyde River, Nunavut, where he died while base jumping , his agent confirmed to CBC News.
Hall, 41, died May 9 2007 in an accident on a mountain near Clyde River, a hamlet off Clyde Inlet on the coast of northeastern Baffin Island about 3 months after this was filmed.
i like what ironflea said :D, I love sharks!
that guy is simply insane!
I agree with him. It would make my life complete to get lucky enough to touch a great white while diving.
HAHA Jimmy got balls O steel. Very nice! Everyone looks at sharks as killers but in reality they're just massive, beautiful creatures.
They do prefer colder waters thats what makes it so rare to see one in hawaii - especially one that big too lol x
That's Awesome! Im just glad I'm at home while all this is going on
WOW!!! great work... Talk about extreme swimming... :)
awesome man
He had a wetsuit on that was a very odd pattern and colour. Big animals like this frequent the waters near my home due to a seal colony on a nearby island. Its believed that black wetsuits confuse such sharks and they may mistake us for regular prey. But we are skin and bone compare to a seal or big fish. When they bite a surfer, board, scuba person - they often realise you have nothing to offer and spit you out. But that in itself is still usually fatal given their size.
Amazing video of one fearless dude and beautiful great white shark. However, if that majestic creature was feeling hunger pangs - what do YOU think would have happened?
This guy has brass balls to do this.
Jimmy, although you're crazy!....you remind us all how cool and exciting life can be.
Nice Job Man!
how big was that shark? ive heard it was the biggest ever recorded. 20ft?
This guy Jimmy was on the same shark dive as me in Guadalupe island. He tossed a tuna head on my cage so I swam to the other cage. He had some crazy footage of free diving with a Tiger shark named "Princess". Sadly, I recently heard Jimmy died base jumping.
RIP Jimmy!! For those that don't know, Jimmy was killed in a base jumping accident.
that is so tight i think that great white sharks are tight
What a beautiful shark she is? This was an amazing story!
Beautiful animals....also my favorite shark. You have a better chance of beig hit by lightning than even seeing a shark in the Ocean. (Shark tours not counted.)
The movie Deep blue sea is his autobiography
I love how there are sharks circling in the water as he is sitting on the back of the boat. You can see their dorsal fins popping up here and there.
It's really awesome seeing this guy doing what he loves...even if it may invoke a bit of danger
They have a unique place in the ecosystem, and a purpose. Like the vultures & hyenas of the sea.
Now meeting begins! Let us all say the pledge!
"I am a nice shark, not a mindless eating machine. If I am to change this image, I must first change myself. Fish are friends, not food."
You are damn lucky that monster beast is not too hungry. It's powerful enough to tear that cage to shred.
@Victor1970s
He was on my White shark cage dive in Guadalupe and threw a piece of tuna on the entrace to the cage I was in. So I swam to the other cage. On the trip, he showed us vids of him swimmig with a Tiger shark named "princess" and base jumping the Eiger. He was base jumping in the arctic and perished. Rest in Peace, brother!
Damn Jimmy!
I did a shark dive that day but with a different dive group. I was so bummed out that day when I found out I missed the Great White.
THAT IS JUST TOO COOL!!! :D
RIP Jimmy.
what island was this off of?
There is now an iphone App that Tracks Great White Sharks Download "Expedition White Shark" from the Apps Store.
Very cool!!
This is VERY very rare!!!!
That's one brave diver.
i think i saw on shark week once that you can swim with great whites as loong as they're not feeding, you don't look like a seal (that guy was wearing a wetsuit with tiger stripes on it) and you're not bleeding. i saw another guy do it on shark week. IT WAS CRAZY!!!
people are inclined to compare animals to how humans work, but animals are in no way predictable. They don't have the same reasoning we have, if they feel like it, they will bite out of no where. It's instinctive.
dang, if i was right next to a great white shark i probably woulda pissed in my pants
RIP Jimmy...
i agree with that guy. a shark is only dangerous if the human is afraid. good on'ya mate
ha ha love it mate keep up the good work ha ha
what island news was this. They are not the same newscasters as here on oahu. although it depends what time this was.
It's the Steve Irwin factor.
All fun-and-games till someone loses a few gallons of blood.
That Giant can break the cage up... but it didn't, wee :) they survived Nice job!
The day this happened, I went on a shark dive with the a different shark diving company in Hawaii. I was so bummed out I missed this opportunity. I always wanted to see a great white, and it was in the waters on the same day of my dive. Bummer
Wow this is so awesome!
I would love to do that. I love sharks, they r the coolest. Have to go watch some Jaws later
Jimmy the shark Greek!
I need to go cage diving with sharks. Someday I will go to the North Shore and do it. Sharks are my favorite creatures of the sea. They demand and deserve respect, just like the ocean itself.
That was awesome, I have swam with whale sharks but a great white would rule
