Did he just say he recommends anyone to watch them live in action? Fuck that! I'm standing on land!
This is one of the things I need to experience before I die... it must be an exhilarating event, the brute force of nature in an ancient creature that has remained intact for millions of years. Great video! Awesome photograph taken at the exact moment... one for the ages.
Go ahead swim with them and you can accomplish everything at one time ‼
same here
That red sky in the background whilst the shark leaps out of the rough sea is a hellish image.
I love when Joe says he wasn't nervous exactly because he was busy being in awe❤
You know since I am deathly afraid of sharks I have always hated them with a passion but once I saw this video I now kind of understand what they are about. I actually found them quite majestic and beautiful in a way. There is something about this that just made me appreciate the balance of nature. I am still terrified to swim in the ocean though..
exactly the same that I feel , when I was really little I loved watching jaws and I loved sharks , I'm 14 now and I seriously think I have spawned a bad fear of them I breathe heavy and curse when I see an unexpected pic of one of the internet 😨
+Chris S. A fear of these animals is perfectly logical. After all these jaws are not for kissing. However perspective is good too. You can appreciate them from afar without putting yourself in danger. I live in new england and we now have our own population of great whites off cape cod. Which is ironic considering this is where the original jaws movie was filmed and 25 yrs later the sharks came back. Every summer the sharks are sighted and sometimes they have to close the beaches for swimming. The sharks are still around when the beaches are open but no one knows that and nothing ever happens. However the most amazing part is the psychology of the visitors. They aren't so much afraid of the sharks as fascinated by their presence. We've become shark oglers and savers.
There was a shark trapped a few years ago in a cape lagoon and couldn't get out and the whole state was routing for the shark and wanted to save it. I think it was woods hole oceanographic institute that finally came in and released the shark from the lagoon and we considered that a success story.
In total there have been 2 attacks on people here in the last few years. One guy who I think had a leg injury from one and he lived and another on a couple of kayakers where the shark bit the kayak leaving the kayakers in the water and scared shitless BUT unharmed. But considering the number of people in the water and the number of sharks in the water at the same time it is fair to say the sharks are not looking for people and encounters are very rare. The credit for that can only go to the sharks, the people on the other hand are out of their element and have no way to know if there is a shark around or not. The sharks know we around from hundreds of yards away.
That last shot of the shark was breathtaking !
WOW ! I'm always so incredibly amazed when somebody actually posts still pics on here ! Well done sir !!
I was expecting a video -.-
Mordakan thank you, this saved 2 minutes of my life

Who says "white sharks can't jump ? "
Iwastherein1969 never heard anyone say that but ok
Lmao😂
@@niekvanwensen Its from a movie bro but he changed it to sharks
No one says that.
nobody said that
Wow. What an amazing shot of a magnificent shark!
Awesome!!
:)
Where is my propane tank and harpoon gun?
You guys are playing reruns from last year! I was waiting for shark week .disappointed .get it together
+Luke Stevenson is this an anti-shark comment?
Never in my life have I heard someone speak so unenthusiastically about something cool.
It's because the English don't dramatise everything.
@@maxdavids5445 oh
Also he's from Swindon. That tends to suck the soul out of anyone.
@@maxdavids5445 it in
@@maxdavids5445 Yee, if it was an American they’d be shouting “holy shit” and “awesome” over and over.
Great photo and dialogue. I went to Gansbaai 10 years ago and filmed great whites there on a ten day expedition. The sharks are naturally vulnerable. They themselves are not aware that they are scary looking to people or our definition of 'apex predators'. They try very hard to keep themselves safe and out of harms way, that was very apparent when seeing them swim around one another and around people and shark cages. They may be big and fearsome but the sharks themselves are not aware of human fear factors. Great photo, and I'm sure that now they are protected in many places big white sharks are out there just like in the 60's and 70's.
Wow, just amazing. Beautiful and terrifying all at the same time
That is so cool! We must protect the majestic creatures!
What's this "we"? Be my guest, you go ahead and help them if you feel the need but I reckon they are pretty well set up to look after themselves without needing me to clamber into the ocean alongside them to fend off the 'baddies'.
YES THANK YOU
This life is full of special moments and experiences... that must have been a take your breath away moment!
Wowww his perspective while narrating 🤯🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽amazing💎♥️
So cool!
man that is clickbait at its finest: HEY GUYS this is a VIDEO site, let me show you the shark breaching (a foto + minutes of blubbering about stuff)
Stiftelsen
Open your eyes and read his comment again. It's a VIDEO site and when you read a title like "a great white shark breached and just missed us" there's an expectation that's what you're going to see a video of. Not a still photo and a couple of minutes of "blubbering" and some video of a totally unrelated incident.
Snoopy Doopy h
Doopy q
The still photo and video are completely different incidents buddy.
The still photo is a fake, where the video is stolen from a documentary
The great white shark design cannot get any better!
Three in a row, that's a first!
This is great content! Video is well structured and Joe Butler seems like a really educated interesting dude!
Nice recap of other peoples work from shark week
You're gonna need a bigger boat.
Lol from jaws
+im batu figured that out all by yourself huh?
+Trevor Wilson
Your name and comment triggered this in my wack ass brain.
WKUK Jaws.
+im batu Gee, thanks for that
from friends
wow, really beautiful vid..the photography and the info, but best of all you can see he loves and respects these beautiful animals...keep on, we need teachers like you!
Thank you stories for this story and for pictures and for video, thank you!
Wow!!! That was amazing how far out of the water they breach 🦈🦈
There is huge great white's in the Mediterranean but i havent seen many documentaries of them in that area as most filming is off the coasts of california and SA.20 years ago a large shark nudged our pedalo off the majorca coast and it was 15 foot plus it was only out of curiosity and stayed for about a minute then disappeared,so needless to say we were truly terrified but even though there were swimmers a few hundred feet away no-one was attacked which i believe they are just extremely curious creatures with a unfortunate reputation and if they were maneaters so many more ppl would be attacked and killed
pp
Unfortunately large great white sightings in the Med have been very rare for decades, particularly east of Italy (Adriatic, Ionian, Aegean Seas, etc). Even though global populations elsewhere have been rebounding, it's difficult for biologists to estimate what the current numbers are there. In the past there have been numerous unsuccessful attempts to attract them for study. However, small adolescent whites have been caught over the years that at least proves there's still a breeding population there and they're not just transient.
Sadly a large female (2000Kg) was caught and killed off the coast of Tunisia last October. Considering how rare they are in the region, the loss is significant.
maybe not all are maneaters but there have documented cases in which sharks(Great Whites and Bulls mostly) have developed a taste for humans.
yet some people were eaten alive , google shirley durdin in australia 1985 or lloyd skinner in S.A 2010, just a few..omar conger in cali 1984, but i love those white sharks
rush8able
This person has a good valid point. We're on their turf. Not the other way around. When's the last time u saw a shark driving a car and throwing in bait to draw us closer?
That looked awesome.
Absolutely. Lovingly gorgeous animals and the same for photographer's work of art!
I would never go in a sea EVER in my life!!!
"These animals are quite vulnerable" ???? Yea, those sharks looked vulnerable.......tell that to the seals they were swallowing!
Yes but there being made vulnerable by humans
Shark poachers are killing millions of sharks each year just for a bowl of soup
Thats why these amazing creatures are said to be vulnerable
@@phobiccentaur4062 So sharks have a right to hunt and eat whatever they want. Humans don't. Sharks do what sharks do and humans do what humans do. The problem is that years of massive pro-animalist/nature-worship propaganda brainwashing has damaged millions and millions of human brains
@@SustainableEnslavementAgenda Its funny because none of you would take on a shark without a weapon to hide behind like the cowards you are. 😂 So how is that what humans have always done? 😂
They are in a murdous rampage at cape cod. I’d love to see them all killed
Omg its ace
Beautiful images. Love the Shark!
finally a real pic up close of a great white breaching beautiful shark
God's creation is beautiful!
god doesnt exist.
@@LL-tr5et What's the matter? Finding it hard to drum-up a fight, so you have to butt into conversations, and have to wait until something like me happens to see your "cry for attention", and grants your wish to be noticed.
Anything else you need, before I move on to a higher form of life?
@@justplainbrad7713 nope, just stating facts. thanks for trying to get me to react angrily so you can prove your point on how people who dont believe in god are brainless anger machines and you are right, though. :)
@RoyT Logan You don't even know what "YOU" are talking about...so don't try putting BS words in my mouth.
My comment is 20 light years away from what you said; and it was directed at "one" person (who is on many of the same boards i've commented on...so it was a private reply, which you cannot fathom.
How can you actually live with other people, being wrong 99.9% of the time?...If I were as wrong as you, I'd hide my head in shame.
Natures best creation!! 😊😊
wow!!l amazing...kinda jealous...would love to see this incredible fish!!!!!.
Amazing quality, once in a lifetime video/shot of a beautiful Great White! Well done!👍👏👏
Those slowmo shots are epic.
This is just amazing. Such powerful and beautiful creatures.
Ridiculous speed? Looks more like ludicrous speed, am I right?
I need some real good lovin'
Cause I'm troubled by the things that I see
+Aaron Kemp Ludicrous speed, GO!!!!!!
+Aaron Kemp - Try LUDACRIS speed! Get out da way B!#@$ Get out da way...
+Dirty_D they've gone plaid!
+oldfrend hahahaha nice one .. !
That is a beautiful picture!
they are a beast of an animal, amazing!
I am from Cape Town and this is true South Africa is the only place where sharks jump out the water
Warren Moses have you been to every other place in the world?
Darcie I have been to Spain USA UK and Australia
Warren Moses yeah I'm sure the only place these creatures jump out of water is at South Africa. They jump out of the water everywhere you dimwit
Carlton Dry sharks don’t jumping out of water but in Cape Town unfortunately
And people think they are safe in a boat?
Thats a big fucking shark
Joeysmacks12 qeqig
Amazing.. Thank you for not killing it
Though I am sitting behind this computer, the image of the shark breaching gives me the chills.
Throughout the video I kept whispering Fuck No.
Natalia, send me a "Up Close" pic of U'rself...
DOfffiiiiiiiIN AND WHARRREEE?????
Fuckayoooooo!
Cheekend end Cauw? .... CHHEEEKEND ENND CAAUUWWWW!!!!

Amazing photos. Don't care so much that it wasn't a video. My goodness how often do people get to be so close to such a magnificent animal? I would just love to be able to experience such a wonderful adventure. Good job. Pay no attention to the haters. They will always be there and never realize that because of their hating they are missing something that may only be viewed once in a lifetime.
Why would someone hate on a shark?
Wow. Just unbelievable photography.
How long has the SS Great Britain been in Swindon?
I wondered that.
"just missed you?" it's like 20 feet from the boat?
20 feet really ain't to much because if a shark would launch at a angle it could land on a boat
@@thedinoguy1018like the length of the actual shark lol
Holly sh**! * eyes got big, when shark lifted itself, out of the water. *
Great Whites roll their eyelids back when they attack prey in order to protect their eyes, hence 'the white of their eyes' is when they are about to attack and roll their lids back, the black eyes become white (not their actual eye, just the appearance from afar goes from black to white).
OMG, totally AWESOME 👍😃❤️❤️❤️ Please SAVE THE SHARKS 🦈🦈🦈
THAT DOLPHIN its the best mamipher
the shark was at least 30-40 ft away, how can you say "just missed us"?
nice vid tho, i liked it
I just wanna know how tf the camera guys keep their cool seeing it that instant, big big shout out, y’all got balls of steel
Thanks for posting the video :-)
photoshopped for sure. that shark is atleast 25+ feet
hi,
And remember fish are friends not food! lol.
fack utubenoseyjerks muome. oumkme. Joe. muomoe. numkne. 😈
Okay so this is why I try to stick making castles by the shore.
"Just missed..."
You must have one helluva sense of personal space.
ONLY UNTIL A KILLER WHALE SHOWS UP
Killer whale is a mammal, Sharks are not mammals, they're fish.
I know that jess....im saying ....when kollers come.....sharks are no where to be found
Oh yeah lol
Gray White sharks are dangerous.
Really dangerous.
Really
Damn! What a magnificent animal!
That dude in the little raft at the end of the video is INSANE
Sharks, frequently portrayed as relentless killing machines, in reality are loving creatures who are frequently misunderstood. They need our love, care, and support.
and then they kill us
Gairick Twenty Six
Exactly :D
+Fred Vanhees ...and they taste great on the grill with butter and a big twist of lemon!!
+Fred Vanhees Some of the sharks I would say are like that. I will say while never meeting 1, but after watching shows about sharks that Bull Sharks are very aggressive and will attack anything. Great Whites usually get blamed for a lot of the attacks that are done by Bull Sharks, but Bull Sharks are very aggressive, where as Great Whites are usually content to leave someone be.
Fred Vanhees eh... are you talking about women?
Thumbs up if you figured out that this video is fake and actually sponsored by TH-cam to try and get you to join the site it's advertising.
That’s amazing shot!
Such a beautiful creature.
I don't know anything about white sharks, my specialty are donkeys in the wild......... brown donkey........albino donkey......yellow donkey.....corn eater donkey and Tijuana donkey etc. etc. ........and everything above thanks! O-o
Iron maiden thumbs down 666 !
The best Metal Band EVER
+SSmelb up the irons indeed !
IRON FUCKING MAIDEN!
wow its fantastic
For a second I thought he was going to tell us he'd taken that photo off the West coast of Ireland and I nearly calved!!LOL! Thank God it was S.A. and not here and I have no notion whatsoever of ever seeing them in their natural habitat if I can possibly avoid it!
That shark is way to big to be real.
But it is
I was joking calm down.😧😅
+OjoeTheLegit it was obviously fake
+OjoeTheLegit nope great whites are big as fuck
+Teri Culbertson BHAHAHAHA!!!
The Chinese, Japanese, and Korean should stop immediately, please
Even this Thumbnail shows the enormous size of this Great White.
In person must have been shook!!!
Incredible filming!
God loves you all and sent his son to die for all of our sins!!!!!! Have an amazing week yall!!!!
idiot what is this religious crap doing here
what are you implying? that the shark is his son?
Luke Hammond Yahshua the real messiah came for Israel not for the world.
Spade Spade prove it!
Hierosolyma prove what
Fake ass photoshop
Eddie Smithers actually its very real. Been tested and proven to be real
Eddie Smithers
Where’s your proof?
Best great White footage IV Eva seen!!! Stunning!!!
this got me in the mood for shark fin soup
BEAUTIFUL SHARK! :D
Even that Great White in the thumbnail pic swims around praying that it doesn't come across a pod of Killer Whales!
"Who took this photo and how much danger were they in?"
Well, he was clearly on a boat, so very little, observe the photo before asking stupid questions.
0:48 Penguin looks freaky dread.
God bless everyone.
What a beautiful great white shark !
Agreed, you are the visitor. Beautiful video!
It looks like colossis from shark week! It has the same damaged dorsal fin. Awesome!
Great photography
Wow....amazing pictures and films
Compilation of my modest cruise and cooking fish and some of the sea snails happy with your pressure😉
Amazing footage
“...they do kill things for a living!”-I love that....so very true!
Rob Hofer not true

That's a game over move folks
That was Excellent! !! What amazing creatures-
