    I was borned in a small town in Spain. My dream always was to see great white shark in South Africa. In 2006 I was working in a supermarket and I went to ask for a credit in my bank just to go there. My mom was thinking his son was crazy, my friends was thinking the same, I didnt care, I just want to make my dream come true. Andre was my guide during all this travel, in that moment I was 26 and I didnt speak english but it wasnt a problem to enjoy of this animals around 5 days. Thanks Andre and his team for these beautifull days in Gansbaai.

    They get 20 feet away and fade into the green...that's terrifying.
  • All my respect and admiration for these underwater photographers. I'm shaking here and they have balls of steel.

    This is not only the 1st footage (if it is) made with divers/great whites interaction, but by far THE BEST !!
    😮😮
    All that is totally crazy!
    I've never seen elsewhere divers so close and so confident with a single GW, let's not mention two of them and of that size! .... that's absolutely outstanding.
    Till to grab and let one self carried by their dorsal fin....I don't believe it

    And it was back in the days when people had stereotypical ideas about sharks, and particularly the GWs.
    I mean ....I'm not saying they're pet, but now we have a literature of many inteactions by professional divers.

    Simply superlative.
    I've watched tens, maybe hundreds of videos on sharks .... This is the best rather than the oldest one.

    Thanks to YouTube

    These guys are absolute legends. What they are doing-educating the world and dispelling irrational fears, will save the lives of millions of sharks.

    The last 5 minutes seem to have been captured from a dream.
  • @BruceWayneWorld
    Its the going back to the surface part which will have me scared
  • Rumor has it that it's the tears of misunderstood sharks that makes the sea water salty 
  • You guys wanted to "Make the image of the shark better in public opinion"? Why would you pick the spookiest synth music to accompany it lol
  • @stinton911
    That was an unbelievable sequence of clips.

    Moral of the story - Never ever become complacent.
  • @uncle1886
    My heart was pounding. They let them get so close.
  • @GirlofCulture
    The music is more terrifying than these beautiful curious animals ^__^

    Nothing in the world would get me into the water if I knew what swims there with me... oO RESPECT!!! Balls of steel :D

    Yeo one of the best shark encounter videos I’ve had the privilege to watch.

    This could be the first time someone has filmed swimming with white sharks, but I saw a documentary a long time ago about a guy in south Africa that swam with them, and that was on the BBC I thought back in the late 90's, but it could have been early to mid 00's. Kudos, anyway. Good post. White sharks are awesome.

    Certainly a once in a lifetime experience.

    Can't help but to think YouTube is practically single handedly one of the best friends sharks could ever have—especially Great Whites. Thanks to YouTube and all the videos that until perhaps 15 years ago or never got opportunities like this to be seen by the masses, such regal creatures have been so sadly misunderstood for virtually their entire existence on this planet. I hope videos like this one, and Ocean Ramse'ys and all the tiger shark petters of the Bahama areas and the like are changing the perception of the world where these incredible, beautiful, and formidable creatures are concerned.
