This was was awesome to watch,im a born and raised native hawaiian from maui and know and understand the waters there,i learned alot just watching this show good job paige.
I am a long time resident of Maui. I used to kayak solo at Olowalu. What these women do is amazing. I think the sharks come here for the same reason the humpback whales do: to mate. Keeping their species healthy would involve mating outside their normal neighborhood gene pool. The fact they are also at a buffet of whale meat, certainly doesn’t hurt. The whales don’t eat when they are here, since their meal of plankton is scarce in the warm waters. They feast up north.
She's not a native, right at the start she said she was an inland girl and didn't even have her first open water fishing trip until she was an adult....
Very good footage. I used to dive with sharks all the time off of Lahaina, and can appreciate the scientist's ability to control her energy. Very impressive!
Thank you so much for what you do! Military’s may serve their countries but you ladies serve the earth! Preserving and protecting the ecological system is VERY important! Kudos!
I wouldn't jump in that water without a blocking device with even one shark by myself, let alone being thr water with multiple sharks, chum, and only your hands!!!! These ladies are crazy brave to do that imo!!!
I would love to find out what is Paige’s PhD dissertation about. I am impressed that more research on sharks is being conducted in Hawaii. The stereotypical image of these ocean predators has advanced/changed considerably since the first Jaws movie was produced in the early 1970’s. I miss living in Hawaii. It is cold here in Colorado……
@@SuzanneU yessah, and either way, when you from hawai'i, you know what true and what isn't. and yes, all this, is true, in this documentary, all facts
Research, here's what sharks do, eat, swim, and make little sharks (I think I just paraphrased Matt Hooper). Just saved you a bunch of Benjamins. Seriously, very interesting, really enjoyed this.
Instead of seeing a mystery in the sharks, the real mystery is why it is so interesting to see 45 min. of the scientists trying so hard, being so brave, telling their stories, being so important... But not the sharks?
why shouldn't we recognize them? they're young, bright, girls who did something most people wouldn't attempt. the hardest part is the tagging. the rest is simply analyzing the data which is behind a desk.
You say it! It is nothing but next level Instagram for some rich daddy's girlies trying to present themselves as 'scientists'. Ridiculous and finally, most likely, fatal.
Olowalu has always been a place where there were a alot of sharks. Locals know this. A woman was swimming with friends out there and she was killed, not sure if her body was found. Imagine how scary for her friends. That was 20 years ago. Every time I’d drive to Lahaina I’d remember.
@@federalreservebrown2507 Wow..unbelievable….Tiger Sharks 🦈 are evil in my opinion…they know exactly what they’re doing when preying on humans…they actually enjoy the taste of human flesh…
@@tomboland64 I remember it well. Apparently, a group of Tiger’s were feeding on a dead baby Humpback Whale and this lady, who swam this area everyday in the morning, by herself, saw the commotion, swam over to check it out, and was brutally attacked and consumed. There are several very important lessons from this avoidable incident to be learned. First, never swim alone, especially in the early morning or sunset, early evening. Second, I personally never snorkel or swim unless I have at least 30-40 foot of visibility. Third, If you encounter a shark, any size any kind, keep your eyes on the shark while “slowly” swimming away, preferably on your back while never losing sight of the shark. DO NOT THRASH, PANIC or start YELLING. That’s like a dinner bell. Fourth, Stay calm, cool and collected but get away asap. Enjoy the ocean but remember, you are a visitor and you’re not in charge. Aloha!
The fact that these ladies will be someone's mentor is amazeballs and lucky for us. Cause we're sitting here watching this and probably learning something we didn't know before... At least I did!
There isn’t a mystery why there are more shark attacks in Maui. If you research the time of year when more attacks occur, you’ll find they coincide with the Humpback whale calving season. These sharks have been conditioned to come to the area where the most calves are born and enjoy free, non-combatant food in the form of whale “after birth”, which is highly nutritious and doesn’t fight back. There are also a large number of still born calves which also provide massive calories from November through April each year for hundreds and hundreds of years, possibly thousands of years. Another reason there are more attacks is that there are more tourist in the waters every year in Maui and they are not educated as to the dangers. Mating is a secondary causation of attacks. It’s about the free food. PS-The Tigers then move to the Northern atolls after whale season is over to eat the large supply of sea birds that hatch during the summer months. The cycle repeats every year. Simple logic.
Likely all true. Scientists still want to gather observable data if they can and if the sharks are breeding there while feeding it would be an interesting discovery. Even just the testing of a new and less invasive way to tag and track and gather behavioural information is neat.
I am so impressed with these young ladies; that they have become scientists. One of dreams was to be a scientist or archeologist…unfortunately I did not achieve either one. I would love to provide some kind of support for girls that want to become scientists. Even if I could provide books for a year…something to help them! Does anyone know of any program that would match up students with people who want to help them? Thank you😊
Vielen Menschen, die mit dem Ozean zu tun haben wohnt eine innere Ruhe und Stärke inne, die fast strahlt. Ich muss dringend mal wieder ans Meer aber da das heute nix wird, muss ein Ritt mit dem Bike durch die Felder genügen. Danke für die Inspiration!
Maui has the highest number of Shark attacks on Humans ( of all the Hawaiian Islands). According to the Maui Department of Land & Natural Resources ( DLNR), in the last 30 years, there have been 59 Shark Attacks on Maui. This could correlate with the research in this video, or it could be other reasons like high numbers of visitors to Maui who also partake in Ocean- related activities?🤔
exactly and, 59 in 30 ... are you kidding, there are billions of ppl roaming every inch of the earth and sharks get slaughtered by the millions, so i prefer a shark any time
Would be nice if we could experience the same amount of quiet that is naturally where your camera is. Water noises are soothing, & and that's enough. Part of being out there is the peacefulness of the ocean.. Don't need a melodramatic music track!
Tiger sharks are pretty stupid. They're also known as the trash can of the sea. If you look at their stomach content you'll find tires, plastic bottles and all sorts of bizzare things...
This is really amazing show just a question it does concern me you have to catch the shark with a hook and I couldn’t see if you took it out do u take it out? I assume you would as they would affect them in many ways.
Every 2 minutes, “if this doesn’t happen it’s game over” People aren’t watching for a reality tv show, just reality…it’s sharks, you don’t have to input drama
This was was awesome to watch,im a born and raised native hawaiian from maui and know and understand the waters there,i learned alot just watching this show good job paige.
Are the Maui Waters dangerous?

All about resources..
Olowalu is a birthplace
As a free diver all I have to say is that these young scientists are just METAL. Go guys go!
Cheers,
Chris
You meant to say mental, right?
Go girls, go!
Yeah, I thought they were human, flesh..
Thank you for having a local/native person as the narrator it makes a huge difference for the pronunciation of Hawaiian words.
She's not a native, right at the start she said she was an inland girl and didn't even have her first open water fishing trip until she was an adult....
@@oldogre5999 the researcher is not the narrator.
@@esmeraldagreengate4354Odd! I could have sworn I heard the Narrator speaking in the first person...
@@oldogre5999 the narrators name is in the credits 🤷♀️
@@oldogre5999 that’s not who I meant when I said narrator. Narrator can also mean the person doing the voice over and that person is.

Women Should be Given Equal Rights as men.
Replied.
@@RajendranSwaminaidulol maybe they don't have equal rights in your country but in the US they do
I hope there is a follow up on this story to see what data they collected and what information has been gathered.
Was going to say the same thing: And then what happened? Was the mystery solved?
@@vernalc2449 exactly! Otherwise I feel like I wasted my time watching something that was half finished.
I have loved marine life since growing up in FL. These ladies are next level! Way to put your skills into understanding shark behavior!
Truly... truly amazing! All power to these ladies! Super job and courage beyond what I will never have of swimming in any ocean!
These ladies are just amazing as well as intelligent, talented, calculating, intuitive, driven, & devoted! I have nothing but mad respect for them!!!
This is the reason why I really like Nat'l Geographic since 90's
I've been watching National Geographic documentaries for 60+ years. They've always been outstanding. ❤
So impressive to see able, smart, competent young female shark scientists running their own show!
I wouldn't jump in that water without a blocking device with even one shark by myself, let alone being thr water with multiple sharks, chum, and only your hands!!!! These ladies are crazy brave to do that imo!!!
Im a free diver, shark loving Australian and this was awesome to see.
I love National Geographic since my childhood 😩🫶🏻❤️
OMG!!! You two are totally crazy!! How can you be so cool and collected with so many sharks around you and those huge tigers!!
Omg I was so scared for these ladies!😮 & How amazing to see these creatures swimming so majestically with humans.😊
Love these scientists!❤
Basically the mystery was that they love to spend Xmas on Maui 😅
The sharks? I don't blame them.....
I think it is the first time I have seen a docucemntary like this with a team of mainly women. It's amazing to see
And appropriately enough, the Galapagos Shark they implanted was also female!
You never thought women capable of jumping in the water together?
wow.. wen tiger came back with cam was an epic moment.. ive chills,, of joy,, watery eyes too... lol
Awesome presentation, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing. ❤️👍
Outstanding team, wonderful entertainment, thank you.
These are some very brave scientists. Bravo to them. Tiger sharks are so cool. Awesome to see them like this.
Me encantan estos vídeos de naturaleza. Increíble y hermosa naturaleza. 💚💚🦈

"she's rolling her eyes" HAHAH universal code hey. Even sharks do it
Thanks NatGeo
I grew up watching all of this stuff from the 70s,80' and early 90s......I can hardly stomach them anymore.
Why?
I miss NatGeo on TV, felt sad when they're no longer there
Amazing team - goal driven and so prepared and truly know their sharks in and out . Glad they were successful
Editors need MORE recognition. They do a wonderful job making this show half way believable.
this is real and it is true....but yes, the editors do need more recognition
Why would you think it's real?
@@Charlie-nd9ef bro....I from Hawai'i......
@@Charlie-nd9efWhy do you think it isn't real? Because the researchers are women?
@@SuzanneU yessah, and either way, when you from hawai'i, you know what true and what isn't. and yes, all this, is true, in this documentary, all facts
Wow. Watching such intelligent, beautiful, skillful swimmers do their thing is amazing. And the researchers are great too.😉
Great job ladies 😊
The tag immediately starts sinking as the cameraman is right near it filming it sink. Could have grabbed it. Lol.
Ya, I had the same thought.
Research, here's what sharks do, eat, swim, and make little sharks (I think I just paraphrased Matt Hooper). Just saved you a bunch of Benjamins. Seriously, very interesting, really enjoyed this.
This is an absolutely captivating subject. I hope it continues.
Totally invested in this series 😊😊

its because its about an expression of ego, not scientific research. Same as the bear whisperer guy who got killed. Its brain rot.

Yall just hating cause theyre women

No, they never found her body.
Yeah that’s at the red roof house. That lady was devoured by two tigers…there were no remains
I was there, she went swimming with turtles, huge red circle, nothing left, spooky to this day, I fly fish from the beach there.

“Now the shark is filming us” very meta.
Out standing ladies! Great job!
Incredible, thank you all.
Great job, Ladies 😊😊!
mystery solved: scientists conditioning the sharks, where's divers there's food
Seriously??? 🙄🙄
Wish humans were that intelligent.
Fact , also shark cages and humans attracking deliberately @@Gri03
Quite a boring documentary
English, please.
The fact that these ladies will be someone's mentor is amazeballs and lucky for us. Cause we're sitting here watching this and probably learning something we didn't know before... At least I did!

@@janstan8407It is National Geographic about women and sharks
Wow….interesting! Thank you for that information 😊
Likely all true. Scientists still want to gather observable data if they can and if the sharks are breeding there while feeding it would be an interesting discovery. Even just the testing of a new and less invasive way to tag and track and gather behavioural information is neat.
What percentage of the attacks happen to swimmers near shore, vs surfers, vs scuba divers far out?
A NEW fun shark fact ... when in mating season on Maui ... they only want the very best, most pricey ... Ahi please ... but never seared! 😂
Amazing. These scientists are badass!
I remember when national geographic used to make professional documentary style videos. Now, it's like a show from the movie Idiocracy.
Sponsored by Brawndo.
It does have a reality TV feel to it.

its not so much of mystery now lol

The diver has the biggest balls on the planet. He/she swims towards a shark and puts the tag on its back.😮😮 😅😮
Congratulations 🎉🎈🎊🍾 can't wait to for info
Oluwalu, always has been one of the most dense summer common breeding grounds forever.💯🤙🏾. It’s a very special place , a refuge even for sharks .

Great video, these girls have a lot of guts to do this job.
This was such a great video..thank you.
This is so amazing!
What she did at the start was insane! First thought breeding cycle ,movement of food source
Mahalo for a wonderful view into what you ladies do. 🤙🏼
We will hear about some of these chicks on “Sharks Happen” one day…it will be posted in the “ what were you thinking “ segment…
When you go in that water just remember, you’re more afraid of that shark than it is of you.
They gather there during the winter because that’s the humpback whale nursery.
This is really amazing show just a question it does concern me you have to catch the shark with a hook and I couldn’t see if you took it out do u take it out? I assume you would as they would affect them in many ways.
Those girls are so brave.
These girls are so amazing. It's making me cry 😢.
Page is so cool
34:38 The most replayed moment. 🤣
Paige you have some guts young lady, stay has safe has you possibly can.
Every 2 minutes, “if this doesn’t happen it’s game over”
People aren’t watching for a reality tv show, just reality…it’s sharks, you don’t have to input drama
The manufactured drama is insulting
i bet ur fun at parties
Ya, I don't like it either. It's already interesting.
What a job!!! Fun stuff!
Right on you guys
ONE tag! Im not the expert here, but I would think the other half of the game is having backup equipment, at least in this case. 🤓
Wow! U girls rock! 💗
The old timers would tell winter time the sharks would come in to breed. Things we all ready knew 🤙
What a Beautiful Place
no, im just kidding, good job ! keep up!
