Hawaiian Night Fright (Full Episode) | When Sharks Attack

If we know fish feed at night why would anyone swim at such times unless it is on a survival swim.

Im a fisherman and area between those island we call the sattle..when paired up with access to very deep water, it is a prime location to hunt large predatory fish..i would not be swimming in that type of area in the ocean with shark..no chance..very uneducated of them to organize a tournament swim in prime big predator area like that..lucky that guy didnt run into a real bigger predator instead of cookie cutter shark

It's utterly daft to swim at night! I know that, and I only swim in a pool. Very big, hungry, toothy things like to feed at night.

I lived in Hawaii for 37 years. I moved to NorCal 16 years ago. One day in Hawaii when I lived there I went to a popular swimming beach at Hanauma Bay on Oahu. and while swimming beyond the coral reef in the bay (I was STUPID when I was young) I looked beneath me and to my horror and surprise a monstrous Tiger shark was swimming directly under me about 15 feet or so below. I closed my eyes and prayed as I swam back to the reef. I survived but never again swam beyond the reef!

The crew can’t see the shark if it comes from underneath you.. something to think about.

Being an Australian, having had a number of encounters with a cpl different types of Sharks, Great Whites, Tigers, Oceanic Whites, Grey Reef sharks, etc. The commonality in everything that we can put together, and yes that is inclusive of Marine Bio's. The one thing that is going on ALL the time is 'OVER FISHING'. A subject that never comes up in these specials that "look for a cause". "Over Fishing" is common ALL over the world but is becoming worse now, put that with more people in the water, especially in the danger times in the water and we think that it's a valid assertion.

Stop vilifying these animals and understand that human activity is making it harder for them to survive. And if you go into their habitat don’t be surprised if you get attacked

Swimming in deep open water after sunset. Did anyone object to this plan? 🤡s 🤦‍♂️🤣

I'll never understand why people swim in the ocean at night; It's bad enough during the day but at least there is more visibility. Plus all the other poisonous, venomous creatures.

This seems like a very foolish plan from beginning to end. Glad no one was hurt worse.

It sounds really arrogant when they say "We need to get to the bottom of this, so we can continue play in the ocean". Like they're talking about some serial killer with a motive who planned the perfect kill. Sharks are sharks. They are predators, they are looking for food. This is how they survive. End of story. They are not made to co-habitate with humans, they don't need a motive or to be provoked when attacking. They don't plan the attack, it's just basic instinct. And the ocean is their territory, playground if you will. When we, humans, enter the ocean, we have to keep in mind that we are just guests and that there a lot of creatures out there that we need to be cautious of. Also, swimming at night is a really dumb idea. The ocean is dangerous as it is in daylight. Why risking even more swimming at night...

Many creatures feed at night, anything in the ocean is fair game

He’s lucky the shark didn’t take his balls off.

What's behind the attack??? They're sharks lol

If you weren't in the water, you wouldn't be considered tasty 😂😂😂

Stupidity is the best description 😅😅😅😂😂

I live in Kihei Maui Hawaii and we have the highest shark attacks in the state but I don't think any of the attacks happened at night. I don't swim in the Pacific due to the shark attacks and a high bacteria rate. If you come here please be careful, not only sharks but of the waves too. It is sad when people come here to have a great time and they end up in a body bag before leaving.

It's their world Not ours. You step into their world don't be surprised at the possible consequences

Maybe you should call it a feeding instead of an attack??? Why do humans act like swimming in the ocean is playing like we are in a pool??? I don't get the entitlement. The ociean is where these creatures live and find their food. What do these people think the naturral world is? You are swimming in the ocean at night!!! Think about it...

Pretty dramatic narration at times. I feel like Nat Geo should be on better form than other documentary makers. They spoke about bull sharks while showing a sand tiger. But it's cool they did a show about a different kind of shark for once.
