Sand Tiger Sharks of North Carolina (They PROTECT the fish?)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- Jonathan heads to North Carolina to explore the offshore shipwrecks of the "Graveyard of the Atlantic" which have become home to Sand Tiger sharks. The sharks are unwitting bodyguards to small fish seeking protection from predators and have developed a clever way to hide from the fish and to hover with perfect buoyancy control.

The Sharks and the Barracuda hovering at 11:19 is such a wildly beautiful and also kind of terrifying shot.
By the way, congratulations on your induction to the International Scuba Diving Hall of Fame!
Thanks! Coming in two weeks!
@@BlueWorldTV For real, Jonathan? Whoa. Doing what you love in order to make enough money to continue doing what you love has never had a better example!
Thank you
❤️
Oh my god after he says, "I'm Jonathan Bird!" they use the Flappy BIRD sound effect...... coincidence???? I think NOT.
Also the hammerhead bumping into the camera is hilarious, i love whoever edits these.
(Update: Apparently they're edited by the man himself.)
I just want to say thank you, Jonathan. A lot of the things you do here on this channel is amazing. Not a lot of people get to experience this kinda stuff, only a hand full of people do. And we get to experience everything. ~Charity
Great video as usual, I love music... A ship wreck always makes an interesting dive.
Those sharks are so beautiful and relaxing to watch. Thanks for the godlike camera work!
They’re even more beautiful and relaxing in person.
Amazing. I love our oceans and this beautiful planet we all call home!
It would be great if you could come to Hong Kong and help raise awareness about conservation to others
Simply Magnificent! Jonathan, you and your team never fail to deliver the most wonderful and highly informative footage.
Thanks a lot for that.
I very much loved the music piece accompanying this video. This makes me ask you a few questions... How is the selection of the very right piece of music is selected and matched to the footage? Is it a long process? If so, would you be able to, perhaps, make a short video about it?
Also, would you ever consider making a video (or more) about 'the making of a documentary'? How ideas and subjects come up. How is the planning process discussed and listed. How researches are done. How is the documentary put together.
Hehehe... I'm sure that the first thing you'd tell me is that the list of things to be done is endless. But this is just an Idea of mine that I wanted to share. If you think I'm asking too much and such thing is hard to do, do not worry if you say no. I am still going to be here.
Thanks for everything, mates.
Hey Mark, thanks for the comments. The music is written specifically for the action. When we have finished the edit/narration and have what is called "picture lock" (meaning, we are done making changes and the picture is not going to change) we export a quicktime of the segment and send it to our film composer Bruce Zimmerman. He writes the music precisely to the edit. He decides where to put the music, (where to lay off the music too) and writes music that fits the scene, or helps create the mood we are going for. Usually Bruce knows exactly what we are going for, but sometimes he will have a question and call me to talk about a scene. For example, you can give a very different feel to the same exact scene by doing music that is humorous versus dramatic versus whimsical. Music is extremely important in giving the view the right mood. Bruce is in CT and I'm in MA, so we rarely see each other in person, but due to the convenience of the internet it's very easy for us to work together.
Mark have you seen this Behind the Scenes?

Hello Mark...I am the composer of the music for all the Blue World episodes. I am very glad you liked the score for this segment. The music is all composed from scratch by me. Jonathan sends me the video and I compose the music in my music studio. He usually loves the music but sometimes asks me to change stuff! That's okay, it is so much fun watching the footage and composing the music.
Hello there, Mr B Zimmerman.
Nice to meet you. Nice to see the creative minds and hands that are in and behind the scenes.
Thanks for sending me the link, Jonathan (or anyone form the Team if it was someone else), as I haven't come across it yet. It was posted before I discovered this channel and am still going through the videos bit by bit but I watched this now and... *Oh My Word*!
I knew things like these are a lot of planning and work but I never realised that excellent quality documentaries needed *tonnes* of work, time, equipment and people! No wonder you are an award winning team. You are all terrific!
What hit me the most was that you lot never fail to have fun and enjoy yourselves as much as possible, even when sometimes things don't go according to plan.
Keep up the fantastic work, everyone.
And thank you all very much for replying to my questions.

Google trad : You do a remarkable job. It's incredibly well filmed and mounted. Thank you for sharing it.

Thanks for watching!

Very addicting

Small fish: “you keep us safe, we are eternally greatful!”
Shark: “leave me alone…”
i love watching your videos. the ocean always makes me relax.
WOW!
I didin't know that little fish could use a SHARK as a bodyguard!
This is a really good video, interesting commentary, bit of history, long shots with time to take it all in and a bit of science on shark buoyancy. Really appreciate the effort and research on this one!
This is the best cinematic shot I've ever seen. While you're inside of the shipwreck, the background through the window is superb while school of fish rushing around outside. That feeling i can't describe
I love sand tiger sharks, another beautiful creature I had the pleasure of seeing as a child.
Absolutely breathtaking, I love these fish so much.
Waited so long for a new shark vid.
Daniel Cub3 Same
YEAH me too
Daniel Cub3 mako shark,Goilbln shark, frilled shark bro
GhostboyYT FAN except from mako shark, those two are hard to find
🖒🖒🖒🖒
When i saw the thumbnail i thought
Oh my! This shark needs braces!
Great job Jonathan! My son and I love watching together.
you know in South Africa at a place called Morgan bay Sand tiger sharks are quite often found there
The captain has fear of shipwrecks.. but steers boat with his feet XD well played sir. well played indeed...
Bobby has a casual captain style!
Hehe I bet XD btw. I LOVE YOUR SHOW! KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK JONATHAN!
Brown Bear I am going to be amareen bayoligist from Zoe 😇
In South Africa, we often refer to Sand Tiger Sharks as "Ragged-Toothed Sharks", or "Raggies" for short. They're renowned among divers as being very laid back and calm animals, easy to swim with when compared to most sharks.
I'm not sure why this particular shark has so many names. In Australia they are called "Grey Nurse Sharks" which confuses them with Nurse sharks, a completely dissimilar species. But Australians are always clever with local names!
I saw a sand tiger shark at a North Carolina aquarium about eight years ago.
That's where I live. At the graveyard of the Atlantic (North Carolina). I go diving there all the time
I am totally turned around about sharks. Because of your series. But not at all about Orcas. I lived and fished in the San Juan Islands and I have had my own close-up view of a wild Orca. All by myself in a ferocious rainstorm, no life jackets (I was a senior in high school, like duh) a HUGE Orca breached right beside me in a little dingy. I cut the engine immediately because the stories of the old fishermen told me Orcas get pissed off with engine noise and will knock a little boat over only to snack on the contents of said boat, mainly the humans. Human in this case.
Absolutely breathtaking close up of a wild Orca. My adrenaline was never so pumped as that encounter. Even in the San Juans Orca was a rare sighting. Scary smart. Scary huge. Scary big teeth and power. Humility was the main outcome. Sharks? Your series has completely turned me around. Thank you so very much for that...but I think you will need to use that shark cage to safely document the Orcas. If THAT. Orcas are way too smart to become kitty cats with humans. They are NOT dolphins nor are they sharks. They will bludgeon first and remorse later. I'll never get out of my mind that clip with the seal and Orca. I don't want to lose you!
I agree....Orcas are serious business. They rip the livers out of great white sharks just for a snack. DO NOT mess with Orcas. That being said, Orcas also fall into two types. There are the ones that eat marine mammals, and there are the ones that eat fish. I would be OK with getting into the water with the fish eating types.
@@BlueWorldTV Had no idea there were 2 TYPES of Orca. Does that mean 2 different species, or variety? I'll look this up mesef. Thank you! I'd give you a big hug but I'd probably get tangled up! grins!
Jonathan I think this is one of the best UA-cam channels In the world and I hope you keep making videos just like this one keep up the great of work👍
I love sand tigers. When you go to an aquarium, it's funny to see the people assume by its appearance (long sharp teeth with a vicious grin) that this shark is aggressive and nasty. But then, you realize that sand tigers are actually pretty docile, and almost beautiful. Swimming with one of these is a MUST for any scuba diver :)
I agree. They are wonderful animals to experience in the wild. Their tame nature and mean appearance is what makes them perfect in an aquarium.
Awesome video. I can tell a lot of love goes into them.
Fish everywhere. It's like the sea is bugged. Full of bugs. Except for a shark. Very unusual to see a shark not eat.
Why do I feel like I’m reading the book The Hatchet?
Fantastic video, amazing underwater photography. I absolutely adore this channel. Its content is of staggeringly higher quality than most of what's on UA-cam. I hope Blue World does an episode on mantis shrimp someday.
Thanks!
10:02 someone make this into a gif!
That’s amazing!
"OOOHHH HO HO HO HO HO. OH. OHHHH HO HO HO HO. *_OOOOOOOOOOH_* HO HO HO HO HO HO HO!"
Can't we give these 2 thumbs up? Love it!
Always love your vids sir... hope to see you one day and shake your hands...
Both hands
IntensePeppers ya both hands...
Thanks for watching!!
BlueWorldTV can you please dive the Morro Bay ocean next
BlueWorldTV you make awesome vids

This is one I can say "Been there, Done that, and bought the tee shirt. Best times of my life and have video of it...
Jonsthan.. why are this suctch a great diving program... love it.. love you.
All of this is in North Carolina! Wow! I have to dive here some day.
This footage together with this beautiful music is so wonderful.. 😊
This segment has one of my favorite scores of all our videos. Bruce really did a great job on this one.
Great! My younger brother just loves your videos. please make some more of these fascinating videos.
I liked all the videos of Jonathan bird the blue world👍👍👍👍👍
Great video Jonathan! Glad to come home to a new video!
10:14 anybody noticed the great barracuda top middle right ish
For a Bird Jonathan swims a lot hahaha get it...
That aside, I'm in love with your show. I just discovered it recently but I'm binge watching. I'm a lame swimmer and seeing you dive make me want to up my swimming game. Thanks for showing us the blue world :D
Thanks for watching!!
OMG!!!
Title and image make this brilliant before i even watch it
When we hear the word “Shark” We automatically think about those terrorizing cartilaginous fishes with huge size, Capable of Killing people, But in reality, sharks are no threat to people
Giangbonkid’s Channel and cows are more of a threat
Nope, Cows are farm animals we like their milk
@Ricky Shiffer Actually, the deaths of the USS Indianapolis were mostly due to the Japanese. Some sharks were seen eating the corpses, though.
@Ricky Shiffer Yeah, you may be right. I looked it up again and the death by sharks could range between just a dozen to a possible 150.
@@jigenstoklasa7737 now search how much humans had killed sharks.
I love your videos 💙😀
They didn’t have to call them sand tiger sharks they could’ve just called them sand sharks lol
Jonathan I love your videos so much.
Thanks!
Awesome as always Jonathan!
And also, Sharks came in different shapes and sizes, some sharks are small and some sharks are big
Another great and very informative video. I have long admired the sand tigers too.
It's quite scary how sharp the teeth are
When I first saw your videos I went from one to another and couldn’t stop watching them very attractive and addicting videos.
I live directly across the bridge from Atlantic Beach! I know the boat he's diving off of! It's so cool to see this on his channel! I hope you enjoyed your stay, sir!
Watching your videos makes me feel like im in the blue world too! Amazing..
And I noticed some barracudas in the shipwreck. am I right? Thanks
Good eye. Yes, lots of them around.
Great video John! Your so awesome at what you do! I watch all your videos and I love them!!
omg I live in north Carolina that's so cool
I love to watch your videos, It helps me relax and sleep (not saying these r boring) they interest me in a sleeping way lol.
Good vid...must be cool to be one of the predators, like a shark...
I just found out about this channel from the NAUI Dive Team Report podcast. Awesome video!
Go NAUI!
i like his video's and the way he talk and teach..
Thanks!
i like watching your videos man! good job!:)
Being a NC lifetime resident, and have spent a large portion of my life in Atlantic Beach, at our family beach home, I am so embarrassed to say I was unaware of all the ship wreckage sites that permit diving.....Johnathan we are HUGE fans of yours and we enjoy all your videos.... we somehow missed this video, however we were incredibly honored and surprised to see that you visited our second home town at Alantic beach. How amazing! Could you kindly share with us if there is a good time or a specific time of year that's best for ship diving?
Whenever the wind is down!! LOL. I like summer.
Do more underwater cave diving please
J
Yes! There’s a place in Texas called Jacob’s Well
This is why I stay on the beach! Or, if I go into the water, I go no deeper than my ankles. I still remain cautious & alert!
Sand Tigers almost never attack humans and there are no fatal attacks on record. They also don't really like scuba divers (the bubbles). Jon and his cameraman were using rebreathers which was part of the reason they could get so close.
Excellent video as always
When I visited the North Carolina Aquarium on the Outer Banks I saw a sand tiger shark.
Bill Bergendahl yesterday I went to Beaufort in NC to go to the aquarium, I saw many cool species like crevelle jack, tarpon, sandbar sharks, and sand tiger sharks
Does anyone nptice how the shark seems to be breathing without needing to move? I had no idea lamniform sharks could do that
You should do a segment on the Box Jellyfish
Awesome video!
"Sharks can never stop swimming, or they'll sink."

Sand Tiger Sharks: 🧿
I was at the otter banks and saw one at a aquarium at the end of this summer
When my mum hears about the ship she is like what...the heck..???🙀😿😳🤯
When I visited the North Carolina Aquarium at Nags Head I saw a sand tiger shark.
I Love 🦈 Videos!
Hey Johnathan, you should come back and dive with shoals of these sharks. The Caribsea seems to draw them in-mass. They drift by in an endless parade with sharks visible as far as you can see and sometimes packed in thick enough you have to push your way back up the anchor line. I’m sure Capt Drysdale of the Outrageous 5 would love to get you out there.
Great vid, and the scoring in particular sounds great in this one, especially at 4:28.
I agree. This episode is one of my favorites for the score.
I love diving with sand tigers! They're beautiful creatures. Talking about wrecks though... have you ever considered diving the Doria? All I want is to see modern footage! What do you say???
Dark, cold, rusty old thing covered in fishing nets...bad viz. Did I mention cold? Maybe Cameraman Todd wants to shoot it.
BlueWorldTV that's what I've heard! Tell cameraman Todd I support his decisions and whatever he decides to do (and that I'd make a decent buddy...) haha, let me know!
I feel like the music in this season has been extra magical.. @u@
I've never heard of sharks creating buoyancy before, I'm gonna look that up! Also I noticed some jacks in the background with eye stripes: I've never seen that before! Is that a regional thing? Or were they changing colour and "putting on makeup" for whatever reason? It looks really pretty!
Thanks for the comments. I really feel like Bruce has been killing it with the music this season. This episode especially.
It's a greater amberjack. Common pelagic fish worldwide.
It almost look like a tiger shark but it's actually called a sand tiger shark
Yeah, that's confusing! ua-cam.com/video/0rqcigdJi3o/v-deo.html
The sand tiger sharks have the longed, jagged, and unorganized teeth.
Video is awesome as always c:
But actually I'm so sad about living in Saint Petersburg. It is a nice city but I can't swim with any exotic fish I'd love to swim with. It is very expensive for me also, I'm only 13...
Anyway, I loooove your videos, please don't ever stop :з
thanks for the history lesson
i love sand tiger sharks
you are so bad ass for going to do all that
Absolutely beautiful
Great video
Do a video about barracuda next.
I saw a barracuda
Sand tiger aka Ragged-tooth shark: critically endangered (ICUN)
My first open water dive was on the hyde which is off the coast of nc, there were tons of sand tigers and alot of fish. It's super cool!
Lucky you, it'd be so cool to swim with those sharks!
Thank you so much for posting these amazing videos. My sister and I love them so much. We watch them before bed all the time. You are so lucky that you get to do that amazing stuff! Thanks again and see you on the next video! 💖😂🤩🤗👏👍
You are so kind, thanks for watching!
Hi I liked your videos the fish are unbelievable
Wow sand shark lot of fun :D
Amazing video!
It's swimming around the ship wrecked
This is my favorite shark:)
