Great White Shark with divers, unedited, raw footage taken by Rae du Plessis - our shark whispirer.
Great White Shark with divers, unedited, raw footage taken by Rae du Plessis - our shark whispirer.
Dude went through his entire tank in 93 seconds
No cap, elevated heart rate is also not the best when standing next to a curious/feeding shark
😂🤣
One minute and 39 seconds equates to 99 seconds.
Jason, by then the tank had already been empty by 6 seconds 🤣🤣🤣
Cheers 💚🍀
Shark: *swims calmly* Guy: *demonic laughing and screaming*
Dude is mad annoying
Calm swimming can turn into a 25 MPH speed burst in 1 second, grabbing you and taking you to the ocean depths and eating you
Shark to diver "will you stop screaming you are freaking ME out"
The guy you don't want to be with in the water with sharks around. Giving off all the vibes that attract predators.
RIGHT ON BRO!
Man, this dude is in a full on panic! Somebody needs to check his air!
I think he was excited
Nothing says ‘not a setup or fake’ like emptying to 10 bars in a minute flat.
Ha ha ha, thanks guys, the dive master that took this video was over the moon.
Crazy thing is that they seem to fade into the water when they aren't even that far away.
Perfect camouflage. Grey to blend into the rocks when seen from above and white to blend into the sunlight when seen from below.
Depends on visibility of water, if its very clear you can see them more further, also in water objects and other things look much closer, but in reality they are not, for example if there is some ship reck in good visibility it looks very close, but actually its 30 meters bellow you, also there is famous blue hole in Egypt witch notorious for deaths of scuba divers, because its very clear water and you can see called the arch bellow witch looks very close some divers go in there dont check diving computer what dept they are than get nitrogen narcosis and drown eventually.
Super murky
I`ve dived Aliwal at least 10 times and never seen a White, many Raggies, a Bull or two and 1 Tiger, but never the Don...what a privilege!
Bull is scarier..total savage
I love how everyone who doesn’t dive / dived with sharks becomes a shark expert on KZhead videos. I hate the water but am addicted to watching these videos, haha. This has to be the quickest moving one I’ve seen. Usually they seem so slow moving. Y’all are crazy. I jumped off a boat in the Caribbean a few times, had my wife snap a pic like I was enjoying the ocean then got right back in. 😆
eF5ive, I love how those who criticize others, claim as though they are more superior to do so. Get it?
Nah, fam. You can clearly tell how the gills are formed that this is a East Atlantic mako. Nice try tho.
Fully agree all the silly comments ..............hey respect to this diver putting himself in this position ..............takes courage big time especially this location quite far from the coast and very very deep!
I'd be more worried about the black tips swimming over his head
@@eF5ive that's a great white 💯...
Sharks can pickup on the electrical pulses of the heartbeat from their prey up to 100m away. Your heart must of been broadcasting like AT&T! I’m surprised you only had the one circling you.
Electrical pulses up to 100m away? Ha ha ha... never read bullshit like this. You should do your home work and a little research what the range of a shark's sensory organs, especially the ampullae of Lorenzini are. It is round about 50cm. Their sense of smell has a range of about 100m.
Where there's one there usually is another.
@@bovverFS You are talking rubbish, the ampullae of lorenzini are based in the nose and are used for homing in on prey at the last second when the shark can't tell where it is as it's eyes are blinded by it's field of view. It is also used for sensing electrical fields and possibly even navigating using the magnetic field of the earths crust. However, they also have sensory organs running all down the lateral line of the shark which can detect pulses and movement in the water from up to 250 metres away. So it seems, "Ha ha ha... never read bullshit like this. You should do your home work and a little research what the range of a shark's sensory organs are." applies to what you wrote?? Perhaps next time don't be so quick to jump in and condescend people with a 'know all' attitude.
@@johnread7404, you're obviously the guy who is talking rubbish. I have done my home work, do your own and you can read that ampullae of lorenzini works in a distance up to 50cm. I didn't talked about the lateral sense, which also isn't shark typical... most of the fish species have that and it works differently to the ampullae of lorenzini. And yes, they can detect changes in pressure through their lateral sense. I have never argumented against that. I have only denied, that they can detect electrical pulses, coming from a prey which is 100m away. And what you have said about using the magentic field of the earth or better, the electrical field which is induced by the ocean currents in the magnetic field... this is an assumption that has not yet been proven, even though there are a few indications to support it. And you really think, that they can detect a human heartbeat from 100m away? Really? So keep you bullshit at your own and talk to someone other. Or read regarding the work and use of the ampullae of lorenzini: Adrianus J. Kalmijn / Matthew B. Weinger: An Electrical Simulator of Moving Prey for the Study of Feeding Strategies in Sharks, Skates, and Rays.
Compliments to the divers who stayed in the water with this incredible specimen. The divers who captured this footage didn't need weights on their waists for buoyancy, they had solid brass cojones..
@P. ARTHUR RILEY, you nailed it. I was thinking, who needs a weight belt, when you have balls of steel.
@@seanmanwill2002 and @P.Arthur Riley Ha ha ha you guys are very funny.
From my limited time diving what I've always heard is in a situation like this you sort of need to stay in the water like they were. Going to the surface could 1) result in the bends and 2) make the shark even more likely to attack. Still, does require some huge balls to not panic.
That guy goes through air quicker than my wife!
I think the loud shouting, heavy breathing, standing vertically in somewhat of a group formation maybe kept this shark from second-guessing an attack. I think maybe from the sharks perspective this interaction was a standoff and thankfully decided to move on. Either way, you can't not be elated by this incredible encounter. Add in the relaxing, calming, and the semi-euphoric feeling of weightlessness one feels from diving, and I'll admit I would have beeen incredibly elated. Right up to that first chomp!
"I think the loud shouting, heavy breathing, standing vertically in somewhat of a group formation maybe kept this shark from second-guessing an attack. .." Maybe so. However, I've watched the same as you & I couldn't help but think that not even the shark knew what it was going to do next. Obviously a wonderful experience and memory to share with like minded people, but also (&IMO) incredible bravery.
Shark looks angry as it keeps lower it's pectoral fins.
Scary indeed
Yes I noticed that too. Classic sign that it's not a happy fish.
Its not happy
Swimming at a pace, circling fairly closely, pulling a quick U-turn on them, pectoral fins angled low... Bad vibes. I'd be about as close to my dive partners as possible, if my heart managed to keep beating!
Someone's heart is pounding by the sounds of it 🤣🤣 No wonder that is awesome!
So many freakin experts in the comments ! Shut up and just appreciate his excitement for the shark and dropping this video for us.
The best things about these kind of videos are the commentaries
What an incredible experience! Glad it was safe results and beautiful footage ! Stay safe out there !
I wonder if all those noises he’s making tell the shark: here’s your happy meal
They are trying EVERYTHING to chase that shark away. One dude is yelling, one guy is chasing it, one guy is banging something. They aren't used to being chased, throws em off.
DAMN DUDE- “suck that reg dry”
Divers: BALLS of STEEL! Shark: Pectorals dropped, in full on attack mode.
"That's just a little guy, come on little fella " 😂😂😂
Like all that screaming can chase it away! You should've just enjoyed the opportunity of such a magnificent creature being peaceful.
I think that guy sucked his dive bottle inside out. He'd be ascending on his own then, loneliest feeling in the world.
Make a little more noise homie. He looks a bit agitated.
you can see it's also scanning the area because it can tell you're not prey... but you're acting like prey so it's confused by that.
Lmao 😂
Nah it doesn’t care how he acts, he isn’t fat enough. It’s that simple.
I exchanged emails with the shark, he said he was merely curious as to why they needed silver things in their back to breathe
I prefer these types on Great White videos over the more common videos showing them biting pressure sensors or meat attached to ropes etc. Biting down on pressure sensors can't be good for them.
beautiful and emotionally unforgetable meeting
Don't think I've ever heard somebody sucking through their oxygen that fast!
The guy screaming is scarier than the shark
Shark is thinking “hell no, I ain’t eatin’ anything that makes sounds like that. Disgusting”.
If you notice the pectoral fins on the either side almost pointed down when they're usually pointed to the side when they pointed down like that at the shark is feeling agitated / fear
Having an APEX PREDATOR circle you thinking about eating you is why I stay TF out the ocean!!!!!!
So beautiful
Awesome there are more sharks on land to be afraid of than in the oceans. But that was some serious stressed breathing.
The Great North Atlantic (American and European) Loan Shark e.g. is a dangerous specimen to humans. It is known to be very indiscriminate in its feeding habits.
Pectoral fins down is a pissed off dangerous shark. You guy's were lucky!🤙
Shark: "... what the hell are they doing here?"
Shark is just cruising meanwhile dude hyperventilating is a danger to himself and anyone anywhere in his vicinity
What’s really amusing is how everyone assumes it’s a dude. 🤣🤣🤣 This chick was SUPER excited to see this shark and probably one of the best and safest divers you’ll ever come across.
Imagine swimming in that at night😳
With my luck that thing would have killed me first
There’s such a thing as too much weekend fun.
Or the last weekend fun ain’t no way in hell im swimming with this apex predator
look at that fin /\ it's agresiv mode
Hello Romanek, not at all, this shark was curious and shy at the same time. Arched back and downward pectorals indicate hunting mode, the dorsal fin can't be manipulated to reflect body language.
@@BlueOceanDiveResortUmkomaas thanks for answer... love this video
@@iamconstantlyhungry you're of course welcome. This was a super lucky encounter!
Incredible!
there is even a second shark at 0:12 in the right side low corner of the picture looks like great white too or large bullshark/tiger.
what a treat!!!!
Wow scary af. But beautiful at the same time. Sir how deep was this encounter?
I think if they'd been floating at the surface something would have gone down. That thing was circling hard and dedicated.
Yes it was unhappy too with its fins down, slightly arch back and waggling its tail especially when the diver breathing very hard and recording swam toward it around 1.06. Its good they didnt take their eyes off it, the diver that close to it seemed much more relaxed.
And hasn't eaten big in awhile by its svelte look, though a big shark.
The shark seemed pissed off you guys invading his territory, he was with his pectoral fins pointing down, his way of saying, watch out, i am here!
I'd be super excited too
"wow..how exciting"..said the diver "Ahh..breakfast is served " said the shark.
This looks like the beginning of a "found footage" video.
Shark: "Hey I heard something breathing really fast, and very loudly, is everyone ok?" Humans: *_underwater muffled shock and excitement and fear_* Also Shark: "Aight fine, be that way...sheesh, humans...can't trust a damn word of what they tell ya..." *_swims off_*
Can literally feel the heartbeat increasing every millisecond lmao
hearing this dude breathe made me need my inhaler
NICE!!!! To me it looked like he was actually chasing it!!! That's why he was breathing heavy, plus he was probably scared to death!
Wow! Awesome stuff! Eish water is a bit murky. Or is it just overcast?
It was an overcast day Brent :) I never edit to show the realness of it all :) :) :)
Love the video! I would like to know what his air levels were at after this though… 😂
Went from 3600 psi to 350 lol
Heck yeah! This is what Diving is all about! Good stuff 🤙
Hyperventilating?
U guys are truly brave people down there / I can’t even wear the vr/ nothing more fearful then being in water not knowing what’s under you / gives me chills
What was your SAC ??
That diver was having an anxiety attack!! 😳
I’ve watched a few of these with divers free swimming with great whites and tigers etc so far no one has been bitten but reckon it’s only a matter of time before that changes someday one of these guys is gonna run out of luck
Surely this already happened. U forget, those "unlucky" Videos wont come on KZhead anyway...
@@yuriboyka8141 ur probably right
Survivor bias and not sure someone would want to show their friend attacked. Still at over 6 feet with fins and bubbles, equipment, and other pointy things, not sure many sharks want to risk injury to this unknown entity.
@@Abebe345 believe u me if someone filmed it they’d post it that’s the world we live in the world of sensationalism
@@kendodd8734 Simon Nellist
As experts say the great majority of sharks that approach people are just curious & are only checking out what they are, what the forget to add is, a shark curiosity is focused on whether a thing is edible & checking to see whether it's a potential meal. 😆😆
Yes, keep making panicked noise! Surely that will drive the shark away, genius!
No arched back but downward facing pectoral fins, definite agitation if not aggression. Group needed to stick together and be sensible about their movements and noise. Now they can potentially use this spurious positive experience as they know how to behave around these apex predators. Wish them all well, Aliwal is no joke.
"Errr.. fif fer fom" ..Yes of course.. I understand.
Usually it's "you're gonna need a bigger boat." But here it's more like "you're gonna need stronger vocal cords." 🤣
A bigger air tank more like😳
Sounds like Darth Vader ran a marathon :D
Beauty of a fish, great aggressive display. Seemed like a juvenile like my brain
What camera is used for this video?
A dream!
I would have faded right away. Omg, and he was laughing, but his breath was erratic, so quick. I mean, it is such a scary experience, it must had been the greatest rush of adrenaline!
When I see these videos, I always imagine a shark attacking from below or from above…
What type of shark is at the bottom of the screen at 46 seconds?
Bull, I think, they are dangerous.
Brutal!!!!!
I would have been equally terrified had I been there- that's why I choose not to !!😱
that 18000 nwton jaw power, speed.
legend has it the shark still spining around the diver who shit his divepants
What's all that screaming?
That shark's pectoral fins are why he's hyperventilating. That downward angle of the fins is indication of an aggressive shark.
Look like he was getting ready to attack
Did not realise they did a double reg and 40ltr tank that you can suck inside-out🦈. Old underwater iron lung, 20 bar a breath.
Bait the water and anything is bound to show up.
Why are they so amazed to see a shark in the waters of South Africa?
While this looks quite scary, if a white shark were to attack you here, you wouldn't even see it coming -- the shark would charge up from below, at nearly 30MPH.
I can swim 31mph
That's if they are attacking seal but I have seen them circle bait, check it out, then move in. I think that attack mode is to get the advantage on seal who are quicker often. But where it isn't sure it would be logical for it to check things out, do an exploratory bite, etc. Not a diver but from what I have observed on this platform.
Actually that's not their usual way of attacking humans. Most attacks on humans have them circling before attacking horizontally either from behind or the side. It's very rare for them to shoot up from below when attacking humans.
@@michaelshields6326 that’s also what happened to Simon Nellist
Dude was making so much noise probably made the shark more aggressive
Diving with a chum bag in the water. Smart.
fins fully flexed down this guy lucky to not be biten in half imo
Yo was it just me or was that shark showing threating behaviour/angry ...his pectoral fins were angled down and I'm pretty sure it was gaping (opening the mouth).....mmmmm I think this could of went really wrong 😕
People that swim with sharks must have nerves of steel , swimming around with a big fish that could take you out just like that !!!
For some reason, he seems surprised to see a shark
cause they’re endangered💀
Holy crap. I was just watching the video and I almost bit that dude.
It's the one you can't see, that's the scary part!!!😱
I’d be more concerned about the peep of the computer.
I just sharked my pants.
Other dude jus blowing bubbles: 🤿 Cameraman: "FUHHHHHHH FUH FUHHHH FUHH"
Lucky for these two guys sharks only attack in water.
…”next we do the Serengeti on our bicycles!”….
Stupidest and scariest thing was snorkeling with bull sharks I can say I did it but not sure what I was thinking!
Another shark at 0:46
you must have no fear at all to swim up that close to the shark
Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into our side, Chief. We was comin' back from the island of Tinian to Leyte - just delivered the bomb, the Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes. Didn't see the first shark for about half an hour - a tiger - thirteen footer. You know how you know that when you're in the water, Chief? You tell by lookin' from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn't know was our bomb mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin'. So we formed ourselves into tight groups. You know, it was kinda like old squares in the battle like that you see in the calendar named 'The Battle of Waterloo.' And the idea was, the shark comes to the nearest man and he starts poundin' and hollerin' and screamin'. Sometimes the shark go away. Sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that shark, he looks right into ya, right into your eyes. Y'know, the thing about a shark, he's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes after ya, he doesn't seem to be livin' until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white, and then - aww, then you hear that terrible high-pitch screamin', the ocean turns red, and in spite of all the poundin' and the hollerin', they all come in and rip ya to pieces. You know, by the end of that first dawn, we lost a hundred men. I don't know how many sharks, maybe a thousand. I don't know how many men. They averaged six an hour. On Thursday morning, Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boatswain's mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. Bobbed up, down in the water just like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he'd been bitten in half below the waist. Noon the fifth day, Mr. Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura saw us. He swung in low and he saw us. He was a young pilot, a lot younger than Mr. Hooper. Anyway, he saw us and he come in low and three hours later, a big fat PBY comes down and start to pick us up. You know, that was the time I was most frightened - waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a life jacket again. So, eleven hundred men went in the water, three hundred and sixteen men come out, and the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.
It's pectoral fins are down at a 45 degree angle, it's not a happy shark.
