Scuba divers encounter great white shark in Bali

- Diving in Crystal Bay, off Nusa Penida in Bali in September 2019 we swam head on into a 5m Great White Shark. Great whites have never before been seen in Indonesia as they are cold water species so it was a strange phenomenon. As a student studying Environmental Management this was an incredible experience, but it does lead us all to wonder what the hell is a Great White doing in Indonesian waters? As our oceans warm, evidence is showing that fundamental ocean currents are being altered so perhaps this video is just the start of misplaced creatures being found in strange territories. Who knows. Or maybe it's always been there and we just got super lucky 🤔😅

The person holding the camera should never go scuba diving again
Well its scary moment ...what do you expect?
Hopefully they all got decapitated
@@eddykapasibu7899 It's not scary moment. Sharks are fascinating animals he was just curious and literally the dumbest thing you can do is to just swim away like this. That's the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Swimming away doesn't fix anything He can go like 35 miles per hour. They just made it look like they're a seal that is trying to escape. Sharks can also sense when someone is scared. They could get themselves killed. Those people should never go scuba diving ever. The first thing to not do when you encounter a shark is to not swim away. When someone is attacked by a shark Its 95% just because they're trying to swim away when the shark is like 15 times faster. It would be basically the same if you would try to run away from a cheetah.
@@xtherealest Totally agree
@@xtherealest it is scary for most people lmao
Not panicking in a potential dangerous situation is one of the first things they teach you in scuba. These divers made an exception
Easy to say
@@buddyweiser2224lol his a complete idiot for swimming away like that
Might have been nice to ACTUALLY SEE THE SHARK!!!
Turns out the shark was the one holding the camera. Video should be titled “Scuba Divers in Bali”.
I’m so glad the the person recording this footage was so skilled!!! 🙌🏾
Skilled at panicking
Complete idiot he put everyone’s life in danager
Yeah they weren't skilled at all. They panicked which is one of the worst things they could have done.
When "Jaws" is mashed up with "The Blair Witch Project."
Now there's a movie
Best comment of the century 😂
The Blair Jaws Project
The best thing to do if you encounter a great white is to keep your body facing it while maintaining visual contact and not trying to frantically swim away
ALSO make sound
Awwwwwwwwwww bullshit
Acting like prey: never a good idea. ☺
@@rogeralleyne9877 It's not, actually. Sharks are primarily ambush predators and anecdotal evidence has shown that they are less likely to attack if they know that the diver is aware of their presence, thus taking away the element of surprise.
@@alancats its also a great idea especially with scuba gear to hug the bottom, GWS will always attack from behind or below so the bottom is actually the safest place to be
I wouldn’t feel too comfortable turning my back to a white
what are you gonna do? Out swim it? Youre lucky it didn’t attack you from thrashing around so much
Just my thoughts. That was the most stupid thing you could do in this situation 😂 better don’t turn and try to get away as it might think you are prey.
what are you supposed to do? try and stay immobile?
@@amoreazione3563 Yea pretty much until it leaves
@@amoreazione3563 yea ur supposed to group up and always try and face the shark and just stay there or very slowly swim away
@@amoreazione3563 Humans are not part of they're food chain, sharks are curious creatures, they see us as some weird animals, we look weird, we swim slow and we make loud bubbles, so they just checking on us, like said before its best to stay still and face them with other divers, by swimming away you will look like some prey, since its natural instincts when someone is scared not only for animals but humans and sharks know it, also by trying to swim away not going to save you, they are much faster.
Jesus. good job with steady camera work. Smh
Oh look, a shark, I know, I’ll film the lower left area of my goggles!!
The diver was so loud, I wouldn't have been surprised if the great white had attacked him.
The person who recorded must win an award.
for the worst cinematagraphy ever recorded in the history of film
@@markkindermannart4028Hell, that camera work is actually pretty standard for most action movies in the last 20 years!
For doing the only thing a instructor tells you not to do in this scenario
Most probably it’s the ones that usually Western Australia, they might occasionally migrate further north into tropical waters. Like the ones in New Zealand migrate to Fiji.
White sharks are super curious, so when you frantically swam away I'm surprised he didn't swim to you to see what was moving so frantically away. Sharks like woah!! I'm a see what making all that movement!!
Yep I don’t think I’d want to go diving with this crew
I agree, but odds are that the shark had already checked these people out for a while and satisfied its curiosity before they ever saw it.
It’s amazing how ppl who probs just got their OWD in their holidays have the great idea of taking a camera underwater.
The guide seemed to have kept chill but I would’ve told everyone to get very close to each other with everyone having their buddies back to back and set a buoy for the boat to pick us up. And till the boat arrives you can enjoy a once in a lifetime moment with a GW.
I think I saw half a frame that looked like a shark like shape but after watching 500 times I still can't really be sure plus I started having issues with my balance.
If it's happens to you, you might follow severals sharks rules:
1- dont' panic and palm away like this diver pod, if you looks like a pray, you'll be the pray .. anyway he will be faster than you
2- pack all together and face the shark, don't forget that they are curious animal but they also feared about noise and bubbles you do under water
3- do not lost eye contact
4- slowly palm away all together
5- if you feels that your life is in danger because he is too closed, hit him on the eyes or on the nose. They are very sensitive.
6- if you have a scuba stick or a knife, keep it in your hand in case it's turning in dog fight
7- pray for Lord 😅
Great advice but I will put your number 7 about prayer to God into my number 1 rule.
"prey"
you can pray to god but you can't really look like pray. But if you behave like fleeing you will look like PREY and then you can PRAY to your gods.
Step 8 : In case of attack, stab your buddy and swim like hell (jk)
You are prey for the shark.
Apparently turning your back to a Great White and swimmin faster and producing more bubbles is what you need to do in these occasions..
Divers : " Look, great white there "
Great white : " Surprise !! "
What was the watertemp? Was it a great white or a big tiger?
Lucky you :) But I would say that GWs are definitely around Indonesian waters, however, very deep! They are almost everywhere, even in the Mediterranian sea :)
White pointer sharks are only likely to occur along the outermost periphery of Indonesia such as the southern coast ofJava, Bali, the lesser Sunda islands, and parts of New Guinea. There the oceans can be very deep and great whites can and occasionally do enter these waters.
Great whites generally don't like coral reefs, warm water, or shallow nutrient rich seas-- which are the hallmarks of most of Indonesia's marine environs.
Great whites like deep, clear waters. So with a few exceptions great whites are seldom encountered in Indonesia. Good thing, too. I don't ever want an encounter with one.
Biggest ever was in the med,, sum fishing men got it but never record the size of it this sumit on u tube about it if u look it up. Best wishes from Durham England
@@Granto-ni9qw For being English your English is diabolical.
@@Granto-ni9qwyup a Maltese fishermen in 1987 the white was 23.5 ft long and he caught it on an offshore rig with 250lb monafilament line and a steel leader.. he was using a moray eel as bait too 😂 it was on an early 90s segment of shark week.. “whites of the Mediterranean”
@@Shinuchiha_99 no bud this one was Spanish fishing men I found it on u tube again after week s ago have a look for it
You can put any title for this video
Great camera work!!👍👍👍
You guys probably shouldn't have panicked like that, that was quite dangerous however I would probably do the same tbf 🤣
you cant control adrenaline! unless you have spent most of your life meditating
I couldn't contain my excitement when I encountered a great white off coast of Ambriz Angola, mean it's one of my favourite animals in the world, so to see one face to face was an absolute joy 😊
For 30 seconds, it swam off as quickly as it approached me 😐😡
Thanks guys - for the honesty - thats Bali off my list of places!
Just cross the ocean of your list then 😂 Hey..I’m with you. Why should we put ourselves on the menu. 🙅🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Great video. You guys definitely lost some PSI with that little scare. Heart rate up ⬆️
Well there is 2 minutes of my life I’ll never get back.
Where was it shot in Bali?
0:44 that has to be a 20 footer. I don't blame her for not sitting around trying to film it!!
Oh shit that's big
Hope everyone is ok. Newbie divers.
Pro tip #1. Don't make eye contact.
#2. Try to tickle the shark's belly.
#3. Pretend you're a sea fan or clump of kelp.
#4. If 1 - 3 aren't working, make sure you can swim faster than your dive buddy.
Is this a video about a divemaster who is pointing somebody who has (alledgedly) seen a great white ?
What is the time where we see said GW in video?
Would have been great if you'd filmed the damn thing.
Where.?
Amazing there is any fish in Indonesian waters ,let alone Great Whites,it must have got lost on its way to Australia
I didn't even see the shark. The camera-man only made my head spin.
As an experienced diver, I can tell you that these people were not.
the fact nothing happened shows how sharks are absolutely not maneaters! they panicked, bubbled like crazy, swamm full speed and totally acted like prey. yet nothing happened. they did everything that they shouldn’t so in this situation.
Once in a lifetime opportunity….well done
Bro did exactly what shouldn't be done 😂😂
That's the basics when it comes to sharks you don't try to swim away , you hold ur ground
So....no one else had a camera?
Mr White would have so embarrassed for you!
5m Great White in Bali?
thrilling experience for sure...great diver, this is the first history for great white shark seeing in Indonesia
But I don't believe it. The video don't prove anything.
Looks like a first day of an open water SCUBA class to me. None of the divers keeps a steady level, all kick and move arms frantically, breathing is rapid. She mast have blown through the entire tank within 10 minutes.
Shark - "LMFAO! Works every time with those guys in rubber suits...."
You can see it's a great white at 24-25 seconds, just about. But the camerawork is not great to say the least. Did someone panic much?

I mean yeah... it’s only the apex predator of the sea...
We Panicked Because great white shark usually didn't swim around Indonesia
@@slav_-9179 we didn't have seal colony so it wouldn't make sense to see a white shark here.
Probably a mako or idk...Its hard to judge by the camera.
@@islamicschoolofmemestudies Thats definitely a GW, you can clearly see it at 44/45. way too bulky for a mako - and ofc the grey top and white bottom of the shark.
Take this video down. Saw absolutely nothing except a shaky camera.
Funny stuff for new divers. Everybody’s swimming upright.😂
You are supposed to swim upright during a shark encounter.
They vertically decended and re-grouped together on the sea floor which is EXACTLY what the book say's to do and is exactly what the group did. Good job ya'll.
Thought they say Bali waters do not have sharks that are dangerous to men? Now I won’t dive in Bali again.
Fancy footwork wen a great white pops in to say Howdee... 😂👍😂
seems like next time she wont be carrying the camera
I didn't know Stevie Wonder was scuba certified.
Like when a child with his little cousins and friends is doing something avoided in the house and the dad comes back earlier than expected .....
Never seen so many people acting like prey.
I think I caught a glimpse of a shark somewhere. Cardboard cutout?
Where is the shark?
That was 2 min of panicking and trying to out swim a great white.. horrible
Whoever is holding the camera must be having an epileptic seizure....like damn man...😖
Thats a minute and 47 secs. that i will never get back!!!
Stay calm. If it would've wanted to follow you, it would've followed you.
Yes thats a great white shark for sure 100%
Play video in slowmotion and you will see.
i play in x2 mode lol
Waiting for Pt 2
And where is the shark ?
As soon as she saw it she tried to take a selfie.
A good moment to practice your shark sign
Couldn't get any stronger proof they aren't that interested in humans. The camera person and they're crew couldn't have been more panicked, unco and complete sitting ducks 😂
Now I have a headache, just like I did after Cloverfield
if you panic you are simply done
Where?
What shark?
there is no shark in video. time stamp??
What was that!?
Too many dishes on the menu for that shark to decide
Wow what a huge..... Blue ocean and shakey camera.
I can feel her breathing all the way here.
Surely one of the others got better footage
Everybody appeared to have panicked and clumped together and swam to bottom of floor.
When I was out yesterday I encountered Ford's, Chevy's and Toyota's...
I’m no expert but would you not swim to the bottom of water and get as close to the ocean floor as possible with the 3 of them looking in different directions also take a spear or waterproof shock stick as some sort of defence
I’m glad I took a Dramamine tablet before watching this video!
Quite possibly the worst filmed piece of footage on the internet.
Well done.
Dude, are you really gonna criticize someone’s camera work during a Great White Shark encounter? These aren’t professional divers, they’re tourists who didn’t expect a freaking 5m Great White in waters that isn’t their habitat
Ok I watch a lot of videos on sharks, touch the nose and then wave.
Great Whites, although they prefer cooler waters, can be found anywhere except closed seas and in the poles, it’s normal to see it in tropical waters.
There’s evidence from Spanish accounts that they were once very common in the Caribbean Sea before the Caribbean monk seals were wiped out about 200-300 years ago.
I feel dizzy now.
Clearly panicked. There was such a big group present the shark would be keeping its distance.
Well.... I'm never getting that time back.
Glad nobody was panicking... ;-D
Why did you swim away? You can't outswim it. Better not turn your back to it.
I have no idea why some people are so dumb that they try to outswim an animal that can reach the speed of 35mph.
What shark? It could be a tuna for all I can tell.
Diecover Scuba Diving 😂😂😂 I would‘ve shit my wetsuit if I was the guide on that dive with all my divers swimming off in all directions 🙈
Look at all those seals
TH-cam watchers encounter having seizures watching this
Sooo, where's the shark?
thats scary
Jesus. Did just as many people still dive the coming days?? Or did it throw some people off?
I just got NAUTIOUS
I actually saw the shark for 1/8 second.
Hey, how about we skip the three-minute safety stop? I forgot to control my breathing and my bowels.
1:19 i would hide in that reef crevice real quick
