- In this video, I share footage of my October return trip to Isla Guadalupe. October is all about large female white sharks. I came face to face with the largest shark I've ever seen. I also explain how different it is here in August compared to late October. I filmed shark jumping straight out of the water, and the seals along the rugged coast with large sharks nearby. Additionally, this video discusses the importance of shark tourism and its value to the continued protection of Guadalupe Island. Ohh and did I say I filmed many

I met a Great White while Abalone hunting near Catalina Island and it was the scariest experience I can recall, bar none. I only had a mask, fins and snorkel and had to hold my breath longer than I've ever held it before, as it passed overhead. I had just pulled an Abalone and was about to push off the bottom to the surface when I saw it coming straight at me from maybe 50 ft away. I just kind of hunkered down in a crevice of rock while it passe by. Being less than ten feet from something so large and powerful was both horrifying and exhilarating at the same time.
We all owe this guy a beer. The professionalism, knowledge and respect for the environment is just superb, without a doubt one of the best channels on UA-cam. Period. 👍👍
I have been fascinated with great white sharks my entire life. Read countless books, watched countless documentary films on them. This is the first time someone has explained so clearly the difference between males and females.
RIP to the swimmer killed today in Australia. He was killed by a Great White while swimming at a beach in Sydney Australia.
I ONCE CAUGHT A BABY BLACKTIP REEF SHARK ON MY HOOK FISHING FROM THR PIER AT JEKYELL ISLAND ,BUT I DIDN'T KILL OR HARM THE SHARK I TOOK THE SHARK OFF MY HOOK AND I WALKED TO THE EDGE OF THE OCEAN AND I RELEASED THE SHARK AND LET IT SWIM BACK OUT TO SEA .
Thank you for not discussing sharks as if they are nothing more than killing machines! They are beautiful and so important to the health of the oceans!❤️ I love your videos! ❤️
Awesome. I'm a big believer in live and let live. I've got a fee gardener(?) snakes that sunbathe in my front and back yard depending on the time of year. I warn my lawn guys to NOT hurt them. They kill rats! I can walk by them as long as I'm not looking at or talking to them. It works with most wildlife. That way, I can enjoy them better and they live in peace on my property.
That’s Stumpy. She’s commonly seen around the Farallones.
You mention "each with their own personality". I keep telling people sharks have individual personalities. Especially the hammerheads I've dived with. Some are shy, some are inquisitive. Same goes for mantas (some LOVE diver bubbles)...but none more so than tigersharks off the Aliwal Shoal in South Africa who react differently to divers they recognize. Gentle giants indeed.
Reminds me of how shark week used to be and still should be! Thank you for your content and allowing us to see the lives of these majestic animals.
That water! So blue!! So clear like a giant fine-cut gemstone!! Oh this was amazing to see!
I’m addicted to your videos! They sometimes make me emotional with how beautiful they are
I think a lot of people, myself included always look forward to anything you do here. Your content from the superb photography, the well thought out commentary, and your passion for all of the sea's creatures and commitment to be a positive influence are just outstanding! And when it comes to great whites you are the white shark warrior. Everything you've done has been outstanding and I appreciate it very much! Thank you!
Your underwater photography is just as striking and respectful as your aerial body of work. Congratulations on an amazing transition to a new medium!
Fantastic footage and once again, a mindful and considered narration of your experiences. The world needs more people like you, fighting for the marine environment, and the flora and fauna
The superb quality of the footages along with the gentle commentary and soft background music make this short documentary one of the best I've ever watched and, as a life-long shark enthusiast, I've been watching tons of them for about 5 decades. My sincere compliments. Thanks for posting.
This was amazing! I've always wanted to cage dive, but now I HAVE TO after watching this video. Thank you :)
I've always been in awe of these amazing white sharks 🦈. They're so graceful as they glide past the camera. Videos like these will hopefully bring awareness to how beautiful and needed these animals are❤❤
Thank you for bringing awareness to the importance of great white sharks!! 💕🦈
I love seeing the underwater photography like that.
