- Scuba diving with sharks with Stuart Cove in the bahamas.
These are caribbean reef sharks and are unlikely to attack unless provoked or they mistake your hand for a fish. Depth was probably around 15ft and shark size possibly up to 6ft.
Was filmed with a Canon s80 with no extra lighting. As you can see, I'm no professional cameraman.
My very FIRST certified open water dive was in St. Thomas on a shark dive, it was SOOOOO awesome, but we didn't have nearly this many sharks. That swarm is so cool!!!! Great video!!!!
It's amazing how these large creatures can swim in tight circles and never once bump heads
Undoubtedly it has got to be better if one does it. However the video is outstanding. Congrats to the person who filmed it!
So amazing, It's cool to see all the tropical fish as well.
love it! humans and sharks just chillin' together!
Just listening to the bubbles make's me more relaxed. I would like this on a sleep assist machine to go to sleep with the noise.
Its great......Once i thought i am watching a movie clip or animation video ..
:) great video! The divers circle is sort-a distorted but the shark-ies don't care lol must have been in the winter months. BTW - the ocean floor on this dive is at 80'. I was taking pictures with a disposable camera and was really cautious to move xoxo. Stuarts' Cove have one of the best operations!
Great exciting scuba divers taking photos l0vely sharks s0very interesting.
That's so cool! So many sharks and divers at once, haha!
This looks so amazing. Bucket list !!!
Diver #1: I thought this was a dolphin tank?
Diver #2: Oh well!
Awesome video thanks for sharing it.I will never go to see it myself
I did this dive. It was one of my all time favorites. The dolphin dive in the bahamas is also awesome.
i would be so scared, but at the same time excited, and lots of other emotions
Nice video, thumbs up from us and cheers from sunny IGY Simpson Bay Marina, Sint Maarten in the Caribbean.
WOW - this is so totally awesome! I would love to do this!
Wow...that looks amazing. I am taking classes next week to get certified. I can't wait to be able to do this =) So cool.
This is amazing! Look at all of those sharks! I want to go diving with wild sharks!!!
thats some awesome quality! nice vid man
That'd be cool yet scary at the same time.
So many sharks. Nice Video. :)
I hope this will 2012 stay so and not die out.
It's pretty cool. Those are pilot fish. They stay near the sharks for protection. The other things that would eat a pilot fish won't come near the sharks. And the sharks don't eat the pilot fish because they eat the parasites that live on the sharks. That's why, every once in a while, you see the fish almost "kiss" the shark.
This is sooo cool. What kind of sharks are those because they didn't seem to even try to bite anyone. Pretty neat though. I would do this if I had a chance to. :D
wonderful..^--^ beautiful sharks
Beautiful sharks !
i really respect you guys for going down there and doing that, if i did it, i would spaz out and roll in a ball with THAT MANY sharks
Amazing!!! Cant wait to go!
im just starting scuba diving and im wondering how common something like this is because this looks truly amazing
how do you swim above to the surface without bumping into one and pissing them off? lol
Way cool, I'll be in Egypt diving in 12 days hope this happen when I'm there!!!
Great vid, love to experience that sometime
OMG i wanna do this!!!:O and the flash might startle the shark but it would probably swim away :)
remind me to go to the bahamas one day... i would LOVE to swim with sharks!!!!!!
I'm so jealous! i want to go to the bahamas. just got my diving license in Tahiti last summer!
This is going on my bucket list
"Kids, stop playing with your dinner!" :P
That looks awesome man I'm starting open water course this monday and as soon as I can I'll try to get advanced open water certification so I can dive with sharks I'm not afraid of them shark are very friendly creatures I'm actually more afraid of stingrays and stuff like that
yes, you're right.
i'm envious of these guys.
just signed up today to get my open water cert. maybe one day that'll be me. :P
Divers usually are invited to sit in a circle around the feeder who passes out the fish bait pc by pc on the end of a short spear.The sharks will then circle around in an orderly fashion waiting for their turn to take a bite.That species should be the Caribbean reef sharks which usually arrives in large numbers.With yummy baits around,they wouldnt bother the divers at all.Once in a lifetime experience, I MUST GO!!!
Allthough your not a professional cameraman as you said. This footage looks amazing.
What did they/you do to lure the sharks?
so funny hahaha. what a thought! u know we have some tools nowadays to prevent these bloody accidents... ;) lol
I like the fact the photographer is wearing chainmail sleaves :)
I did this at blue planet in Cheshire, but it was nothing like this......... still was pretty good.
sharks generally dont consider human as food, they usually just mistake them for seals or are just curious and take a bite, which is more unusual.
WOO! ive done that in the bahamas. they glide past you without a care in the world. though its best to do it when you dont have any open cuts on the body.
So awesome I saw they were wearing chain male but then realized that a shark could probably chew through that like card board... Still breath taking though
does your camera have a waterproof case or is the camera itself waterproof? also what setting did u have it on because I know there is an underwater setting (but i don't know if thats for underwater or if its just some kind of effect)
this is absolutely amazing and I wish I could do this! ! ! ! !
Thank you for posting. I recently too a Discover Diving locally and will take the lessons if not certify. I could never see doing this, it's just too much risk. They are wild animals and it could get really bad.
Is the guy standing around armed with a defensive device? I suspect there are divers with shock devices or something. Thanks
that is really cool but i couldnt see me doing that lol
That's a great dive.. a 1 who a diver won't forget.. lucky divers ;)
Wow... That many sharks, very little space to move. I'm not that comfortable yet... Maybe after my 500 dive...
I'd like to see you do that with a school of Great White's!!
I have my open water certification dives this weekend. I can't wait to be at this level.
They are Caribbean reef sharks. I think they can reach lengths of up to 10ft but the sharks at this feed seemed to be about 5-6ft in length. I have read that the Great White can reach lengths of 20ft. It was great fun and very safe. Highly recommended.
Hey I've gone scuba diving a couple times but I don't know the answer to this: How do the divers go back to the boat without catching the attention of sharks?? It's a very impresive video by the way.
lol the sharks are like its a free meal xD
Nice photography
Congratulations, breathe is calm all the time!
I would be a nervous wreck if I was surrounded by sharks. These divers are intrepid individuals:)
This is Awesome!! :O
I had a similar scuba diving experience with Exploita.. and it was totally worth it..
The ones in the chain mail are the guides? The ones in a line on the bottom are the paying guests?
when that other camera passed by, he was thinking, nice cam.... LOOK AT MY PRO ONE!!!!
I'd love to do this! I recently went scuba diving for the first time in Corfu, Greece, Biggest fish I saw was a shoal of small barracuda lol
holy shit, I would piss myself if that many sharks were swimming around me, but seriously the media got it so wrong about sharks, they seem so relaxed and not even interested in us as a food source
Nice (alear water and beautiful colours) but I guess the divemaster was using bait? Wait till you see any of these sharks without bait, their behaviour is even more natural and their swimming even more gracious and beautiful!
Love it One of my dreams!
@Aredmoonstudio, they are not black tips since they don't have "black tips". It's their bigger cousin the grey reefshark.
this is cool but how are the sharks not eating them? i noticed that the scuba divers are just standing still there. what's the technique they're using?
imagine if one diver let out a fart with some residue with it
those are black tipped sharks. i think they're kool :)
They wear mail coats! Then it's easy! Only the dive instructor knows, that this sharks don't make problems, so he wears the normal wetsuit made of neopren!^^
some people say sharks are vicious true some of them are not all of them.... these sharks live in a safe nature of the sea if we leave them alone they will leave us alone they have no reason to hurt us... they are more endangered than we are they are beatiful mammals , and mankind are hunting them down for there insides. its mankind that are vicious toward them thumbs up if you agree
@machineyarod cool thanks 4 the reply, and another thing i think there making, ( my told told me at least) is a little device that sends electric impulse or something that keeps sharks away
@RPZB96 goggles like that aren't meant to keep in blood, they're just intended to keep out most water... plus, other than the fact they could smell the blood, they could see it too...along with the fact that i meant that something along those lines could happen.
Very cool :D
Damn I didn't expect sooo many sharks^^
Awesome stuff! I am sure you have more balls then normal :)
woah ! awesomeee !
honestly if i had the chance to do that i would, this looks awesome. these are not dangerous sharks, its not like if they were scuba diving with bullsharks or tiger sharks
Why there are so many sharks only around the divers ? are they attracted coz of curiosity or are the divers feeding them from time to time?
Aha, probably I don't know sharks types :D.But for me, just the Idea of diving with sharks seems scary :D:D. I know some ppl would love to :D
That must be amazing
i wanna do that i am so jealous : ( lol and AWESOME
that would be so cool ! :) , how much was it to do this!?
So many divers there! I'll try that for sure!! :D need some more freakin practice though...
i'm a scuba diver, this is my dream!
That would be exciting. Knowing that you are no longer at the top of the food chain.
@335pinky533 LOL I was gonna write: "and now click! Someone quietly opens a can of tuna" :)
@trashyourplace Actually what usually happens with shark dives like this one is that a barrel or container of meat will be lowered onto the ocean floor, and the group of divers will be told to kneel in a rough circle around it. When done with regularity the sharks get used to it and actually await the delivery of meat and congregate round it, and they also get used to humans. There's almost always one or two professionals with knives or sticks in case a shark gets too frisky.
this is beautiful
but u would never catch me out there
although those sharks are just curious and dont attack humans very often
i would still freak out
@fmcbule i totally agree on what you are saying. Man-kind is killing a friendly giant which we know very little about!! S.O.S Save our Sharks!!
how can that guy swing with his huge ass balls weighing him down
How did you stay on the ocean ground without holding on anything?
thats awsome i would be scared though
omg, they're not afraid of flash lights?
A happy video without sharks:
Diving in Bishop Harbor
Are those bull sharks?
I think I'd be a little worried.
What's the accent like? Wouldn't there be some curriosity when one or two divers go to the surface? How is that coordinated?
wow, I'd never have the balls to do that.
I think I would have a panic attack.
