    I swam with two hammerheads by accident while in the navy. They’re very docile most of the time. But they know where you are, always. Their accuracy of location spotting is beyond incredible. I can’t really say what exact breed of hammerheads that they were, I just know that there were two of them. One of my shipmates wanted to believe that they were great hammerheads, because they were approximately 17 feet in length.

    Mark had a really tall order being expected to put on a show that would be high quality enough for the Brave Wilderness audience, because we're spoiled from the living legend that is Coyote. But he absolutely knocked it out of the park with this shark dive trip. Blue Wilderness is going to be a spectacular addition to BW.

      Cinthya Morales - no you don’t,,,,, recently Deep Blue bit a shark cage. Her mouth was so wide open she basically could have swallowed the diver inside, whole! If she decides you are food, and if you are like me, the higher the fat content, the tastier you are to the shark. In my case, the sharks go, wooooo hoooooo!!,! Haha. I’m sure you are not like me but gotta throw some humour in somewhere! Haha

    • @TitanBeats
      @TitanBeats 4 роки тому +31

      most of the reason that they are rolling on their bellies is called tonic immobility (7:40 is a good example you can see the diver flips the shark for a bit if the diver kept it upside down the shark would be paralyzed for up to 15 minutes)

      Those are rather rare. During WWII, there was this particularly large great hammerhead that lived in the Gulf of Mexico. Sailors named it Old Hitler. It was big, like really big even for a great hammerhead. It is debatable whether or not it was just a fishing legend. Also, they named the shark Old Hitler because it was found during a time in WWII when German uboats were attacking ships in coastal waters around the US. Also one of it's many scars that the shark got from run-ins with fishermen's machetes looked like a swastika.

      I think the shark is curious if the guy is going to feed him fish as well because that's what one of them did in order to attrack sharks to get near to them. The one doing the shark tricks has like a bait box full of fish.

      JellyPaws they are very curious and playful creatures... tho the divers were careful with their body language, if you noticed, they kept the movements slow, and when they got too close, they got a BOOP on the nose. Sharks have very sensitive noses. If they flailed around, they definitely would have been shark food cuz rapid movements trigger their prey drive. As long as they moved slowly and calmly they were fairly safe.

    I’ve dived with sharks and they are quite personable and very docile. I was with a bull shark and several black tips. They were like dogs, each one seeking attention from out group and doing turns and tricks. They enjoyed the nose contact. Yes, these are scary animals and we were on guard, however, they really enjoy seeking your attention and we’re quite the show offs. I dove off the coast of Bimini Bahamas 50 miles east of Miami.

    • @philj9594
      @philj9594 11 місяців тому +11

      I feel like "Jaws" swung the pendulum too far for shark fear and now we are over-compensating with attitudes like this. The answer is almost *always* somewhere in the middle. You need to understand that when you are diving, there are many aspects of how you present and your behavior that will deter a shark from attacking you so they will seem "docile and personable" in that environment, but if you are flailing about on the surface for example, even a curiosity bite can easily end your life from a select few species and those species I'm thinking of are highly aggressive to boot. A healthy respect and amount of caution is always warranted with sharks. You say you were on guard, but no one who knows what they are talking about would describe something like a tiger shark or a bull shark as personable and docile. You really should not be seeking out close encounters with these animals at all. The reason we don't see that many shark attacks is because very few people spend much time completely exposed in the open ocean and if they do they have scary oxygen tanks and don't present as a prey item like someone floating on the surface might. Certain species of shark can and will kill you and they are unpredictable like any other wildlife.

      @dienekesn9312 10 місяців тому +1

      That is a very narrow minded view, just because nothing happened on that dive or several other dives, does not make these creatures docile, approachable etc. you never know on your next dives what shark personality you’ll encounter next, could be a hyper aggressive bullshark, a white shark or a tiger shark who’s just ran out of food in his belly and is looking for new one. You have to respect these creatures for what they are and not go seeking them out.
