After nearly four months, I got around to uploading our great white cage diving video to YouTube. It would have been more exciting if there had been an underwater camera, but it's better than nothing.
Some highlights:
Some highlights:
- 0:00 - 3:20 Our group gets into the cage and we have a handful of close encounters.
- 1:40 Our young friend Will is trying to push his self-made chum away from us.
- 6:15 This is me right after I threw up.
- 7:23 You can barely see the splash from a great white jumping out of the water, followed by birds scavenging leftover seal pieces. We had a much better view of this in person, and I screamed in excitement like a nine year old getting a Wii for Christmas.

At the beginning of the video where you are all getting in the cage you look as though YOU were the food for those great white. The water looks cold. Who took the video? Wow, those sharks came very close to the cage. I see they attract the shark with bait on a line and pull this towards the cage for you guys to have a closer look. Very impressive but must have been a very heart-beating time. It's too bad we didn't get to hear you scream in excitement in this video.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this extraordinary experience.
A member of the crew was in charge of shooting the video. The water was cold, but the wetsuits did a decent job.
