This is what shark week footage should be. I'm tired of the over production and added drama. I want documentary and narrated commentary. This guy does a fantastic job. 10 out 10 man.
really awesome boy
Gotta get into the classic David Attenborough stuff to get your fill! :) lots of good footage and calm narration
@@irdabomb13 love that guy.. definitely enjoy his narrations.
Totally agree. Well said!
It used to be that way many years ago when I was a kid but Discovery sold out on the "reality" TV craze and never recovered.
Great footage mate! Such beautiful animals!
Please go make your own shark diving cage, and actually go diving with it
Spectacular
Thanks for commenting the algorithim then suggested it to me lol
if you were a shark what would be the first thing you do
@@Heyim18bro explore the ocean
I like the idea of drones as non-invasive oceanic research. We can learn about the life in it without messing with them.
He hasnt been specific on which beaches though. So Cal is massive
Why do people always act like humans aren't part of nature?
@@likilikiki Because we've largely removed ourselves from The Chain. Otherwise, without claws, fur, or killer immune systems, we'd be dead by now.
@@likilikiki because we disrupt it and kill it
@@astridravn7556 That's what sharks also do to stingrays sometimes if they are hungry, aren't they also part of the nature?
This guy's footage is top notch and you're also a great narrator with the perfect voice for it. Keep up the great work sir.
Thanks so much!!
I felt like I never wanted this video to end...
I feel like I never wanted it to start, I know attacks are rare but that’s little consolation if one eats your legs.
Lol i know what you mean.
@@williamcozbie1233 stay away from the water, not their fault idiots tempt them.
This was honestly one of the better videos I’ve watched on TH-cam lately. Really well done and a great look into the world of sharks!
Was going to exactly the same. Fascinating.
Awesome video, love the interaction between dolphins and the sharks, such a contradiction to what we are led to believe.
My favorite is Academy of ideas, if you've never checked it out you might be missing out.
You like that....?
Did you see how I rhymed out with out....?
200 years ago I couldn't have gotten away with that but I understand it's acceptable now. LMAO XD
@@normfollows6618j
Agreed!
Your cinematography is beautiful, and so is your narration. The best part is that you are helping to revise attitudes about sharks, especially white sharks. I hope that marine biologists will use your footage to deepen their understanding of their behavior.
Well said 👏 👏👏👏
Must admit never expected that much close encounters. But this actually proofs that shark attacks are really not that common. Glad you did all this videos.
Sharks are unpredictable and that is very common just make sure you’re there on a good day not a bad day
Rob Schneider said it best. Sharks only attack if you touch their private parts lol
It's the location that's catching your bias. As the channel has said he's never seen any white shark, eat anything in this location. They go straight up to a known food source,stingrays, in this area and still won't feed.. If they're actively foraging, however, they'll actively hunt, stalk and kill humans.
@@graftongodofmemes Interesting point. So where do you think they eat in SoCal?
They don't actively hunt, stalk out attack humans as a food source. We are not on the menu for any shark. Sharks don't like eating humans. Humans do not have enough body fat to be attractive as food to sharks. Most shark "attacks" really from sharks taking a bite to determine whether or not we are edible. Unfortunately, many of these bites can be fatal. There are generally less that 100 shark "attacks" power year WORLD WIDE. Play the lotto.. Your chances are better than getting but by a shark. Oh and stop fear mongering
Your beautiful footage and calm sensible narration does far more for the appreciation of these great creatures than any commercial productions I've attempted to watch. THIS is what I want to see, a thoughtful, sensitive observation. It has left me wanting to see more, not because of some adrenaline pumping moment but for the sheer joy and beauty of nature.
Great voice dude!
They are much more intelligent and aware than most people realize.
they are much more intelligent and aware than most people*
@@FartInYourFace234 yikes
More intelligent than those idiots in the water with them.
Especially more intelligent then you.
@@Cassandra96 They are NOT intelligent at all. They are mindless killing machines
Absolutely love your channel man! You are such a much needed counterbalance to the fear of shark week and similar programs. It's about time we have a new shark narrative.
So totally agree.

This is my shark video 😁😍🤩🦈💖💖th-cam.com/video/TW5v8WCUOJE/w-d-xo.html
@Angry Patriot This is me with sharks 🦈 😃😍🥰th-cam.com/video/TW5v8WCUOJE/w-d-xo.html
Say that to the people who have been eaten by sharks
This is some of the most remarkable, incredible footage on White Sharks I have ever seen. Truly splendid work. Thank you for sharing.
This footage is terrifying and super educational at the same time. Keep up the great work.
Some of the best footage of White sharks with out all the Hollywood drama added. Thank you for sharing
You need your own show on TV!!!!! I'd watch all the time!
Was expecting high speed sharks chasing food, yet I received knowledge I didn't know I wanted and would be so intrigued about in perfect footage, perfect background music and perfect narrative. As so many other comments also said, great work and keep it up! got yourself a sub extra!
YESSIR!
The work you are doing is incredible, hopefully your footage starts to change peoples perspective on these amazing animals
Changed mine. Now not only do I not go into the water I won’t fly over it.
It's definitely changed my perspective. my recommendation is that nobody go in the water on the California coast. My other new perspective is we have a lot more sharks to kill than I thought.
I get what yer saying.. but, for my part it's a little like the COVID vaccine... It doesn't seem to affect a majority of folks adversely: but others, greatly so.. risk/benefit
@@truthwarrior2149 What the hell? Why on earth would you kill such an important part of the ocean ecosystem?
@@joeboonmusic4004 because there are too many of them. And the seas will survive without them. They are not endangered and Eco fantasists have made the California California coast a breeding ground experiment for great whites.. I say enough. They're putting all beach gores at risk
As a surfer with a debilitating lifelong fear of sharks, this video almost brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for this view into their world. It makes one realize so much of our fear is in our head.
This was so well composed. Thank you for putting so many hours into it. Not just the footage but the editing. Well done 👍
That was by far the best White Shark video I have seen in a long time. Natural reactions of shark behaviour without the disturbance of cages, underwater cameramen, chum etc etc... truly amazing !!!!
I just had an encounter with a juvenile great white at Pismo Beach, just north of the pier. Easily over seven feet, I caught a great view of its white belly as it breached out of the water. Confirmed by three other surfers. It was a little unsettling, but also one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
I looked up shark behavior as soon as I got home, and found this video.
Simply amazing, and absolutely beautiful!
Thank you for taking the time to learn about these creatures and share with us. It gives me peace of mind, because I'm paddling right back into the sharks' backyard again tommorow!
This is hands down one of the most incredible videos ever made.
Wow! Thanks!
Amazing footage and narrating as always. You never disappoint, thank you.
I see film like this first time, and more educational and interesting than films from National Geographic, BBC and so on. Thank you for opening for me new universe of shark vision...
I love this. Shows that Great Whites and sharks are not the monsters TV and movies make them out to be. They may be curious but they just living their life.
Beautiful footage. This deserves to be an hour long feature on shark week
I've always swam in the ocean. I grew up in San Diego. I always knew there were sharks there but you just don't worry about it. And now considering imagery like this showing how common swimmer/surfer meetings are it proves that shark attacks are actually even less common than we ever knew before. Great video!
sure but you just might be the unlucky one
@@Blobby192 I've tried and failed to write a response to this response 5 times. I don't even know where to start with walking through life and feeling like YOU are the one that's going to get struck by lightning or attacked by a beastie. It must be terrifying and tiring too.
@@Blobby192 u never know🤷♂️u also never know if today gonna be the last time u strap on the seatbelt and drive ur crash free, u never know if that plane ride is gonan be the 1 that ends up on the news, life is beyond unpredictable and extremely fragile but u csnt think about those things u just need to live with the glass half full and try and make the most of the times where u do get be free of all the scary possibilities
@@ballsballsballs3617 i would rather die quick in a crash than be bitten in half and eaten
Same here! We knew they were there. 😎
I seriously could watch these all day. And maybe I’ve missed them, but I’m so grateful you don’t seem to show them attacking any other life form. It makes a huge difference in my head.
This single video was easily way more enjoyable than shark week
Love your work from here in the UK, so important to educate us all on this wonderful world we are so lucky to share. Hope you keep filming.
I would have to say your the best content creator for this type of film. I treated a patient victim of a great white attack in San Onofre. She was treated at Scripps La Jolla. Since changing her bandages I developed an irrational fear of sharks. I sold my surf board and never got back into the waters. But your voice and video footage is helping me deal with those irrational fears. Thank you!
I didn't know sharks could shimmy like a wet dog. That was interesting. How long can your drone stay in the air?
Amazing. This is the sort of footage more people need to see to understand sharks better
This is beautiful. I have terrible anxiety and am so calmed by this footage. I live in the Midwest, but the ocean is my happy, peace filled home. I don’t get to go nearly as often with the cost and have never been to California. God bless you ❤
They are display some of the most grateful & curious movements we don't even know of, even though they are just below us.
Incredible and unique footage. I have watched a lot of shark footage and documentaries and never seen anything like this. Good work, looking forward to more!
Tolle Aufnahmen. Ich hoffe, dass deine Arbeit den Menschen zu einer besseren Sichtweise und Akzeptanz dieser großartigen Geschöpfe verhilft. Mach bitte genau so weiter ✊🏼✨👍🏼
This is beautiful and captivating without any disturbance to them or their environment! Shines a completely different light on these amazing creatures than what I believe we are all use to. I have never seen a shark evert its stomach before. Didn't even know they did that. Thank you! Life time subscriber now.
This is THE BEST video that provides proof that sharks are not as terrifying as media portrays them to be.
At 800 it says how these sharks and rays interact with each other. California has so much in their ocean. Definitely beautiful it is.
Absolutely fascinating - lovely footage and excellent narration. Beautifully done!
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful footage. Thank you so much for the insight into these majestic animals
Glad you enjoyed it
Very graceful in the water. Relaxing to watch!
Not only is the footage spectacular, the narration is first rate too. So relaxing to watch this. Mostly.
Showing how the majority of sharks act towards humans. This video is so refreshing!
it’s so beautiful and poetic footage to see them swim in the beautiful colors of the ocean. And see how they use their brain waves
i love the way you filmed them here makes them seem almost as benevolent and peaceful as koi fish in a pond. very different from the kind of dramatic close up documentary footage that focuses on their raw power.
Yes, such a calm peace loving fishy. Until it gets hungry and tears you to pieces.
@@v.hamilton5679 It doesn't want your shitty human flesh wrapped in plastic, they have no problems finding food elsewhere. Sharks are like seadogs, they don't wanna hurt you or eat you but they can make mistakes and are to be respected if you're in their environment. 99.5% of the time if the shark knows your there and you aren't sticking your arms in its mouth it's just gonna leave you alone and do it's thing.
Amazing channel mate. I'm lucky enough to have dived with quite a few sharks and know them not to be the beasts that they are often portrayed as. Great to see such amazing footage being captured and shared to help to demystify these beautiful creatures. Really appreciate you taking the time to capture and share the clips, thank you.
Thanks a ton man!
What a weird coincidence, I had a dream about great whites last night and I was recommended this video this morning. These shots are so beautiful and yet so terrifying.
Thanks! Hope it was a good shark dream!
How fascinating! I also want to say how much I appreciate your calm narration and lack of annoying music. It really suits the footage. Subscribed.
Thanks for all the wonderful footage this year. I just love watching your stuff. Keep up the great work.
Sooo excited to see this! There’s going to be so much great footage in it!
SAME! Always excited to see yours too!
@@hunterthompson5469 thanks
So beautiful , so much passion, Thank You from a shark lover.
Thank you for straight narrating no sensational adlibs...the footage is sensational enough and merely educational...thank you from the shark family
absolutely amazing!! thank you for your videos!
Incredible footage! and eerie how many of these sharks come so close to swimmers and surfers and yet the people don't even know and in most cases, probably don't want to know.
You get by far, the most amazing footage in my opinion. I'm terrified of the oceans and great whites in particular but the footage you upload kinda shows me it's a kind of irrational fear in ways. The fact that they come that close to humans and turn away without so much as a sniff shows they aren't all crazed killers with a want for human flesh. Love this channel 💯💯💯
maybe the odds can calm your nerves, too!
sharks attack around 72 people annually, 10 of whom die from their injuries. that's not in the US...that's WORLDWIDE! considering the amount of people who swim in the ocean and visit beaches daily around the globe, your chances of being attacked by a shark are astronomically low.
Compare the deaths by sharks (10/year) to these animals (number/year):
Mosquitoes: 750K
Snakes: 100k
Dogs: 35k
Snails: 20k (that's right, snails kill 2000x as many people per year as sharks)
Crocs: 1k
Hippos: 500
Elephants: 500
Lions: 22
Wolves: 10
@@baphometic8767 Still seems like incorrect risk assessment to me - th-cam.com/video/W56hcWeAzQo/w-d-xo.html. They should have more specific data. I'll never go in the ocean recreationally, but I understand that surfing/swimming is integral for some people's health.
Sharks are still gonna do what sharks do, no matter what. Thats their domain.
Absolutely love these videos. A wonderful escape to another world. Your giving everyone a real look at these wonderfully GREAT CREATURES.
Skilled artist sharing drone caught experiences with So Cal sharks. I spent 20 years at the Malibu pier, gazing over the water, and I never saw even a single shark. And 10 years along the Leo Carillo Beach in the water, and again, never saw what this poster gathered and shared. Very grateful.
This was simply beautiful, breathtaking and incredible footage. And eventhough I am really scared of sharks, I cannot deny their beauty of elegance and might.
On one hand people say "you're more likely to die in a car crash than by a shark attack"
Often the counter response is "yea but you are in cars every day, you very rarely encounter sharks"
This footage really is incredible, and shows how often (and how many) people actually do encounter sharks, and seemingly without even being aware of it. It really highlights how complex these animals and their behaviors are, and how they're not simple robots that only exist to feed. The only reason we don't know more about them than what we do, is because they're so difficult to observe both in terms of quantity and quality. Yet your footage appears to do a great deal of both.
Absolutely loved it. Can't wait to see more from you.
@Jon Hesson The point is not really to say sharks are less dangerous than cars - or equally dangerous. It's simply to note that all the stereotypes are based in media-fueled fear, not actual logic and education. The vastly most important thing to understand in order to avoid potential attacks, is to know how to behave around sharks, and understand their typical behavior and patterns too. Behavioral patterns are so important with any animal. But every media outlet typically depict them as something they are not - even "credible" sources like NatGeo, which despite being generally quite objective, still benefit massively from fear-mongering aspect of "sharkphobia".
The potential danger around sharks is very real, but the degree of that danger, and the degree to which we can (and often unknowingly do) avoid it is even bigger.
This video appeared in my feed. I am so glad it did, as what you have documented is incredible. Thank you so much for your time and patience, I look forward to following your journey 🙏
Thanks so much for sharing this! I loved seeing the sharks and rays together. And the smaller sharks hiding behind the larger ones.
This made me cry cause the commentary on this is what people need to hear. These are smart and beautiful creatures.
Absolutely fascinating short documentary. Love the way you raise questions without trying to claiming to have the answers for the often mysterious observations you made. Really well done. And it all supports what I have learned about sharks in the the last ...more than 20 years. Continue the great work ...ocean greetings, Peter
Thank you for some great footage and intelligent narration! This is truly rare as most other similar channels do not focus on the truth of how these animals behave. I was lucky enough to swim in water‘s off La Jolla and also off Kauai and encounter sharks. They were never aggressive towards me, in fact they were quite scared and bolted any time I attempted to approach.
We need more of this out there! Really pushing the good fight for sharks.Thank you for sharing this
Thank you for posting such mesmerising footage.
Subscribed.
This Is On Another Level. Great Video
how beautiful and smart this animals are!!!! I LOVE SHARKS🙌❤
9:50 woooah I've never seen a shark doing something like that. It looks like a wet dog trying to dry up or something.
Thanks for sharing this brilliant footage. Your work is amazing!
That's incredible, I learnt so much so thanks for taking the time to create and share
Absolutely incredible!!! This is an amazing compilation!!! One of the most interesting and fascinating videos I've been fortunate enough to stumble upon!
Thank you for sharing!
Amazing drone footage. the part 9:53 when the Shark seems to clean out it's gills was incredible to watch. thank you. post more please.
Love this video! I've seen hundreds of sharks over the past 6 years while paddle boarding North San Diego County. Have gotten used to the fact that they're always around and thru personal observation and videos like yours, have grown to love & respect these wonderful animals. I'm hoping you'll be lucky enough to capture one breaching - as it's pretty cool to see a 400+ lb fish in the air! Or when a sea lion turns the tables & chases after them (seen a few times). Keep up the great work! You ARE changing the narrative.
Many thanks for these great footages. Really amazing what can be learned form simple empiric observations of GWS, an incredible job with scientific value to rehabilitate these beautiful predators.
Nothing is learned through these videos anymore than if I showed you a video of a serial killer taking a dump. To deduce these sharks are harmless because they are not eating people 24/7 is a triumph of well cultivated stupidity over common sense.
Your videos are so special and beautiful. It feels like to be close to the water and meet them in person. Thank you a lot for sharing that with us.🥰
Greetings from germany 😃
So glad youtube recommended me this. What a great watch and narration.
This was fabulous. It shows that sharks are not as deadly as ppl think. The beauty & peacefulness of it was soothing & fascinating. Loved every second.
beautiful footage, truly remarkable and great commentary. I really look forward to seeing what you produce in the future and what other observations you make. Really incredible stuff
First person I've heard say good things about Cali in a while. Everyone's always talking about the people problems over there and never the incredible nature. Really insightful stuff on these critters, feel like I learned more here than a well-polished documentary. Cheers bud.
I was born and raised here in CA and it's an incredibly beautiful and diverse state. I've lived in Hawaii, Arizona, Nevada, and North Carolina, but I always come back home to California. It's unmatched. Sure, we have our problems, but doesn't everywhere? There's nowhere else I'd rather be. Check out the "California Through My Lens" channel here on TH-cam. I just found it recently and it's like a love letter to CA. Cheers!
cali ... pagan goddess of destruction.
Nature from our Creator is beautiful EVerywhere.
It'd be really interesting to see recorded actions of tiger sharks, bull sharks, and more adult great whites too, as you mentioned they have drastically different behaviors from juvenile great whites. Amazing footage!
dont think u wanna see that. Them bulls and tigers be crazy agresive
@@blastaq4267 yeah I want to see that
@@blastaq4267 We don't want, we need to!
Ok I am so glad I found your page. I have binge watched all your videos and sent them to everyone I know. Incredible stuff. Please never stop filming and uploading.

Well this put me off swimming in the ocean - forever. However, these sharks are beautiful and fascinating.
Fascinating! I would never have thought there would be so many shark encounters, with the sharks showing such indifference. It seems really strange. Do you think they have become innured to the presence of swimmers or surfers? Are they giving off a different scent in the water, to the shark's normal food?
The scenes of the Sharks in close proximity to Rays without attacking them would seem to indicate they only hunt or attack when hungry.
So many unanswered questions with this footage.
It does seem as though you have found a great way to study shark interactions in safety.
Great footage, thanks for uploading.
I think that shark attack human by mistake because of troubled water due to meteo condition or people goes into the shark territory and so they defend it again a treat to them food, human
Beautifully edited video, I can appreciate the sacrifices and time it took to make this, thank you from my family
Incredible. Beautiful. Mesmerizing. How I wish to travel and experience the ocean. Thank you for sharing with us ❤❤
sharks are magical
What fantastic footage.
Thank-you for sharing.
I think sharks are the most beautiful creatures.
REEEALLY nice work here - I just learned more about Great White sharks in these 10 minutes than I'd ever learned elsewhere !! I agree - the footage shows behavior we just didn't expect - this was stunningly beautiful while being educational - thanks so much for sharing this !!
This was incredible. Thank you for your time and research. It's amazing to see these animals.
Great video again. It would be very interesting to see drone footage from of the western australian coast as well. Do you know any pilots there?
Thank you for sharing the beauty with us! Every time I watch with you I see something different. 💜
This is the best video I have seen in a very long time. Well done.. They are sooo beautiful and misunderstood..
Beautiful, just beautiful. Fantastic footage and great calm, measured non-histrionic or OTT, narration. Well done, that's really important work you are doing. I'm sure that will help to rapidly increase further study of sharks. Thank you for sharing.
Great footage and data! Thank you for sharing some of that with us, it is fascinating!
Loved every second of this video, my biggest fear is being in open water with sharks. I feel a little relieved after watching.
Hi, I unplaned swam with sharks 3 years ago at Miami Beach, and it was a game-changing, lifetime experience.
I am not saying that I would intentionally go again, but their behavior taught me - I am pretty sure they are not aggressive towards humans under normal conditions. They are everywhere in the ocean, it's their environment, and we are the "intruders" there, not them. We should behave more respectfully and mainly silently.
Your passion for documenting the movement of these sharks and their interaction with humans and other sealife is absolutely nothing short of incredible. I love the movie Jaws. And the book by Peter Benchley. Which unintentionally created such strong feelings of fear and mistrust of sharks. So your channel helps to demystify those fears. As a scuba diver im always cognisant of the fact that us humans are entering their territory as guests. Obv shark attacks, especially fatal ones are horrendous but they are rare. Your drone footage and commentary are a fabulous learning tool for all ocean users. As u very much shift the narrative of sharks, especially great whites, as being non stop hunting killers no matter the circumstance. Your footage proves thats just not realistic. So thankyou x
Nat Geo should be contacting you for Shark Week! Great work MA!! I have been fascinated by GWS since I was a kid and this is one of the best videos I have seen. You should have millions of subscribers
You have a fascinating venue and I'm looking forward to seeing more, especially interactions and hopefully predations.
I had always believed that the larger sharks at and over 10 feet, were transitioning to adulthood and developing their taste for mammals in their diet and therefore they were becoming more unpredictable. This channel is excellent, thank you
I've followed you on insta since 300 followers! So happy for you man, I've always loved seeing your posts. Beautiful footage as always
