Hawaii man greeted by great white shark during 'insane' experience 

😂😂😂

@@KailaniASMR lol :D

Its a growing problem that needs to be addressed.

🤯🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Here I am thinking I was the only one experiencing this. Thank you for being so brave and putting it out there.

😂😂! 🦈🤍

Excellent

👍😊

So "cute" the way they look like they're smiling! Always reminds me of Bruce, the great white shark from "Finding Nemo".

😂 😂😂

Great whites rarely attack humans.

Accepted his fate

That ain’t no great experience, that’s a dumb asf experience

@@bryceables2319😂lmfao

The chances that a great white encounter will kill you are almost none aslong as you stay calm, stay your ground and look at them. of course if you splash around and panic, your chances to surviving rapidly decrease. But great whites are pretty chill if you are.

🤣

Ahhh the one that got away...

dawg

😂

@@john-wu2zb😂😂

Mine too....love that shark

I do, that’s why I don’t go into the ocean and disturb their peace, saves me from getting bitten in half during the process too.

Definitely a lot more Predator people

Did you see the boat they found with a bunch of dead sharks on it, that were missing their fins? Such bs

What do you think of land predators such as man. Are they a good thing?

Your handle 🐸👀👾😁

It's a braindead violent beast that would eat it's own newborn child if it stuck around too long.

Why is it always a She? Why can't it be a He?

@@rainbowshopes3275it’s clearly a girl you don’t see the claspers on the bottom.

Because it’s a female great white shark..

Did you notice she is pregnant to. Majestic beasts.

Seeing it from your little computer screen: 'ooh its beautiful, majestic, wonderful creature etc etc!!' Seeing it in real life in the water with you: an actual monster

Agreed 💯

@@hannibalbarca6308 Naw I've seen them and swam with the "monster" like people who are afraid of horses... Yeah they can kill you.. if you mess with them or just wrong place right time LoL 🤣 😉 you take the risk knowing

@@lisasweller6711 I thought so too but you can't be sure. Full bellys look like that too sometimes

ummmmm

He is a very lucky guy to actually see a great white shark in Hawaiian waters, its rare.

Ahh ya

@@Pazuzu-tn7bv what kind of sharks are normally in that ocean

@@Ci3saLAlr3adyHipp3d al types of shark species live in Hawaiian waters like tiger sharks, white tip reef sharks, Galapagos sharks , scalloped hammerheads ect.ect.ect but great whites are rare in Hawaii they tend to be more prevalent on the California coast down to baja mexico and the eastern coast of the US. Australian waters and in South African waters to my knowledge.?

I would have been like " I was almost eaten" 😭

Probably she is Bruce's wife... 😬

True and bull sharks don’t play around. White are predatory hunters. I rather be with a white shark over a bull shark any day. I’ve met both sharks and the bull Sharks I noticed seemed to be more interested than the white sharks. Personal experience it could have been different if I was nervous or acting like a fish in distress.

Great whites are ambush hunters. That’s why you’ll most see them coming from the bottom like in this video

No one knows the vulnerable feeling of being at the bottom of the food chain as much as a diver in 60 feet of murky north coast California water with a string of bleeding speared fish within earshot of a pinniped colony :)

Always carry a bang stick with you

I'm terrified of sharks, but this kinda helps keep in perspective. Trying to swim or get away probably is a bad idea! I guess you just close you're eyes and hope it's not hungry 🤣

there scared of things that hold there ground because their used to everything running from them

@@cymonka3492 bangstick won't stop a shark that big, Yes it will injure it but u still a deadman

Amazing, do you happen to remember the RU-vid page name? I just wanted to check it is out. I tried to find it but dont know any names lol

Oppp. Well never mind lol I just typed in 'Malibu artist' and the first video that came up in the search was from a RU-vid channel called 'Malibu artist' & the video was of Drone footage of sharks like you said LMAO

That man has some amazing drone footage from California and the Gallipolis islands. He also inspired a young boy that is on the start of a great career of aqua drone footage his channel is GreatWhiteDronE and has collaborated with The Malibu Artist. Check him out, but remember, he is like 10 or something, so he is just starting out

@@Drifter6942 Thank you, I appreciate the suggestion as I really enjoy content like that. And it's rather shocking that such a young man can collaborate with someone older than him, just shows how talented he really is. I'm certainly going to be checking him out right now. Thank you 😊

The Malibu artist's is awesome. His content really changed my perspective of great whites. That, and there's also another video of a guy who filmed the eyes of a shark. It's truly stunning to see they have pupils that move around and follow you too, instead of just the scary looking "lifeless black pearl of death". It almost makes the shark look friendly to me after seeing the life in their eyes lol.

It almost is a mythical creature. Their population decreased so much it almost is like seeing a unicorn. I wish I could dive with a great white or a tiger shark someday. It would be amazing. I don't need no cage to do it. They should ban killing all sharks so their population goes up at least a bit. They're amazing and they're keeping the balance in the oceans. There's many species that just go invasive because there's not enough predators to hunt them and sharks could definitely be a solution to those problems.

@@xtherealestI dive in Hawaii (big island) and almost every single time I dive I see atleast one shark. From my experience it just feels like seeing an animal that could kill you if it felt like it and I kinda feel lower in the food chain which is a wierd feeling for humans. It’s quite humbling especially when it comes to bigger/more aggressive sharks

You hope anyway! Because with each encounter, like with any animal, your odds of an uneventful outcome drop. I would worry more if it were a Tiger shark like he originally thought, THAT would have terrified me!

I hope you encounter one someday

and the Shark

This is proof they don’t just kill for fun. Creatures of the earth aren’t all killers like humans

@@Southpoint2019 maybe it wasn’t hungry enough

@@wavy2815 which is my point Anything will kill when it’s hungry. Unfortunately sharks gets a bad rep because they can’t build computers

@@Southpoint2019 It’ll kill you because it’s too stupid to identify it’s target. Hence why it’ll cut you in half and then leave once it realizes you’re not it’s usual prey.

@@Southpoint2019 sharks also close their eyes when they open their mouth and also don’t tend to recognize what their prey looks like so they won’t know till they bite you. Most sharks will actually let a human go cause we taste bad but then that leaves said person bitten and bleeding.

She looked pregnant.

@@betsybarnicle8016 or full

And if it bites me, I'm gonna eat shark for lunch every day for the rest of my life.

Say it again …

Not monsters but still predators. They can and do eat people occasionally

@@4477superman Usually by accident or for survival reasons. Lions, tigers, and bears also do the same thing. Does that make them monsters? No. Monsters literally just kill only to kill. It’s like a sport to them. I’ll give you an example though that fits pretty well in this topic. The dinosaurs from the Jurassic Park movie franchise, they weren’t monsters. They were Apex predators, yes. But they were not monsters. They were confused from living in a sheltered environment from captivity, and they were wanting to break free to actually survive. But in the movie franchise of Jurassic World, we got these new genetically altered creatures that mimic dinosaurs. But they are not animals, they are definitely closer to the definition of monster. For the fact that they do in fact kill only for sport and not for survival.

@@MetallicaKing48 dolphins sound more like monsters to me.

In a way, sharks are a lot like people. Most will leave you alone, but sometimes they will harm you.

Because there's big difference between people that get attacked and people that don't. Like 99% of the time when someone gets attacked is when they are swimming they don't know the shark is there and the shark thinks it's prey is trying to escape. When there's people like this that are just snorkeling, freediving, scuba diving or something like that. They see the shark. They know there's nothing to freak about. They stay calm, the sharks just come to check out what is it there and just swims away. Sharks are curious, most of them probably haven't seen a human ever so they don't know what it is so they just come to check it out. They don't attack without a reason. When someone is swimming and splashing around and they get attacked by a shark then sorry that's your fault. You were splashing around acting like sharks prey. When you go for a swim in the ocean or a sea that's just the risk you have to accept when entering the water. It's their territory, not yours.

@@xtherealest that’s a very developed comment to basically summarise my mentality whenever I’m in unfamiliar territory with animals. Surrender to them. This is their turf and their territory, you’re just passing by, you’re out of your lane here and got to give them their respect.

Great white sharks***

@@skycloud4802 That's just not true though! Humans that harm other humans are evil. Sharks that harm humans are just hungry! It's survival for them! They don't think "oh, that's a human. We sharks don't attack humans".

Diving with white sharks is fairly common

@@Ranger_k16 Not with whites

I wondered if she was pregnant too

Same thought here

I was thinking the same: pregnant, or had recently eaten.

Maybe she’s just big-boned?

My thought also👍

Yes people think they mistake humans for seals but they sometimes clearly hunt and eat humans. Very misunderstood

They don't eat humans. They take exploratory bites and when they taste the iron content in our blood it repels them. Just so happens because of their size , strength and serrated teeth. When they do bite they do heavy damage but they do no feed on humans or every bite victim would be taken under and devoured by shark & Co.

​@@markhilltaco4079 Great bait

They scavenge to. Whale carcasses etc. They hunt seals and rays. Foraging is a catch all to include scavenging.

Yeah not only that but they do not "bite" things. They attack!! I got nailed in 1999 by a 12-ft tiger in kona. And now one of my classmates gets nailed by a great white in Kona. Probably this shark

Ahhh a fellow Aussie who recognises that 15 foot is big-ish, and that in Hawaii there is more wriggle room for the chances of an awe and wonder encounter. Where as over here, while cruisy moments still happen, it is perhaps better to simply NOT be in the water with them, as they rarely look THAT well rounded in our waters 😁 what a beauty though! Definitely full of blubber or babies.

@@SquirrelThis is it not because they GO to your continent for annual feasting?

@@Virjunior01 ooh sorry I totally misread your reply 😳 but yeah that seems about right too. 😬😄

@@SquirrelThis 15 foot is huge, but clear waters is definitely the best time to encounter a large shark. I've watched videos of great whites in Australia and they come out of no where and disappear in a blink of an eye. Thats sketchy.

Whether they have fed recently is probably something that should be more talked about and visual cues.

What's your favorite spearfishing spot?

Friendly?hahaha.until she tried to have me for dinner.these things are so dangerous.💯don’t get it twisted.

​@@jaredwilleford5097source?

Not really sure how this could of ended up if he didn't have eyes on it looks like it notices he sees it and his movements aren't of fear or treading water clumsily so it turns away . It could have been following him a long time especially if he had a pee in the water .

That's because they are a fearsome predator. It just wasn't feeling it that day to prey on a human.

​@@jaredwilleford5097All sharks are dangerous,however people love snorkeling with sharks all the time and not get bit.If a shark wants you they'll attack you,but if you don't bother them you can see them up close.

Not always. I was diving with friends about half a mile off Haleiwa in 2001 and saw one in less than 100 feet of water.

@@Laakona saw one off the old airport near kona back in the 80’s

They follow the food- usually deep with currents (that bring in the food chain.) In Galapagos, they come right up to the shore...to get the seals.

@@Laakona yeah that’s why they said generally. Learn to read.

The video I saw of the Great White off of Haleiwa, they were pretty far out. I’m trying to find that video to share and you can compare the size of the shark to the diver who taped it. Unbelievable beauty 🙏🏼👍🏼💖💖💖

From what I understand GW's actually roam the seas a lot more often and a lot further than that.

Hmmmm.and our people did that too....

@@Rhyno9750 They actually don't though. They are found around the world so that is what we thought prior. Thanks to identification measures and gps tracking we now know that they tend to stick to their own area of the world. In other words, a GW that was first identified off the coast of Africa is not likely to be found in Hawaiian waters.

@@laoisem316 that raises so many more questions for me

@@mad-pit3832 Can’t stand Shark Week ‘ But I did stay at a Holiday Inn last Night 🌴

You mean harmless this time. Next time he might not be as lucky. It all depends on whether the sharks is hungry or not as to whether he makes it back alive. This video might well have been the last video of his life. Again just depends on the shark because in the ocean we're no longer the top predators.

Tigers get a bad rap too. It is the bull in shallow water that is the real threat. Aloha

Grizzly bears are probably 10x as dangerous as great white sharks

I respect them and love them to but that's also funny coming from the APEX predator the world have ever known.

They don`t kill whales, they just eat carcasses.

Mating grounds? Has that been discovered? Far as I know the only reports of any type of mating behavior have only been seen around a whale carcass, and no mating was seen but after the sharks fed the started rubbing against each other more and the males started getting enlarged claspers. Where is your information about migrations and mating coming from?

@@bosesebi6685 There's actually footage that's emerged just recently of a great white shark killing a humpback whale. So whether or not it's common behavior we don't know, but it certainly does happen. In fairness, it was a juvenile whale. But it was still three times the size of the shark.

@@mikewhitman745 like I said, DAVID ATTENBOROUGH

@@ataboy42h14 OK captain attitude. You still didn't actually answer the question did you? What show? What was the title of the documentary? Who conducted the field work discovering this? Where is the published report detailing the mating courtship and amount of mating happening? Point of clarity. You never said that information came from anywhere. You just said they were your favorite documentaries, almost as an aside.

Probably not. He likely went back the next day.

I was blessed to snorkel throughout the Florida Keys, Bahamas and Caribbean and saw many sharks. I only saw one that was threatening. It was just as you see in nature videos, it was swimming with quick, darting movements, coming closer with each pass. I had my two daughters with me and I told them to get to the dive boat while I stayed between them and the shark, facing it. I had never had training on what to do if a shark acted like it as going to attack. I just did what felt right, to stand my “ground” and look as big as possible. After a few more passes, it swam off. Once I was back in the boat I learned that the shark had been chased over the reef head by two inexperienced snorkelers who were taking pictures. It was a large reef, at least 60 feet across with only 18 inches of water over it. The shark was pi$$ed and I couldn’t blame it. So was I, but not with the shark!

Yes, they are looking out for the surprise. If he wasn't aware of her it made have taken a different turn though

Yup. I agree and have similar experiences- easier to be calm and deal with them when you have visibility.

@@kiwibloke2000 Since you responded very recently I would like to ask you a question and see if you can give me any insight as to what was going on. I grew up in Key West and heard many stories about barracudas and how they attack people wearing shiny jewelry. I have made certain to not wear anything to attract them! Then over the years I have had dive masters say there are no documented barracuda attacks on people. I still haven’t researched it. But twice I had huge barracuda get really close and personal when I was snorkeling in the Bahamas. The first time was in water about 20 feet deep next to a reef that rose nearly to the surface. We had just anchored and were getting ready to snorkel the reef. I had gone in to check the anchor. As always, I looked over my shoulder as I was headed back to the boat for my two daughters. This barracuda as long as I was and just about as round was about six feet from me and swimming towards me. I did not handle it well. I knew my two young children were exiting the boat and I popped up yelling for them to get back in. I don’t know what the barracuda did because my head was out of the water. My husband was furious with me, made us leave and refused to take us snorkeling for two days. As we were leaving two snorkelers from another boat surfaced. They had been spear fishing and my now ex-husband said that the barracuda had been disturbed by the spear fishing and it came to check us out. If my children had still been in the boat it would have been different. But they were 6 and 7 at the time and that fish was as large as they were. I had never been concerned before but barracudas usually just sort of drift in and out without much movement. This particular barracuda was moving as though it had a purpose! The last time I was snorkeling alone in water less than 6’ deep near shore over a grass bed. I had been looking for seahorses and was ready to leave. I was near a rock jetty that jutted out about 30’ in water three feet deep. I was literally pulling myself along by my hands while floating on the surface. I glanced over my shoulder and there was the biggest barracuda I have ever seen. I did not know they got that big. I am tall and had on flippers and this fish was as long as I was with flippers and it was bigger round than me. You know how in Little Red Riding Hood she says ‘Why Grandma, what big teeth you have!’ Well, that’s what it was like with both of those barracuda. It wasn’t just that they had gotten so close, it was that I could see their teeth. Really see them. I can still see them! It’s the stuff of nightmares. Do you think I was in any danger or were they just curious? That particular rock jetty is in front of 6-7 condos with a very small beach (especially by Bahamas standards) and in use year round. I cannot imagine a fish that large was living in that area. I had snorkeled in that area many times. There’s nothing to eat! So what do you think he was doing? I have puzzled over that for 16 years! Maybe I should write a barracuda expert to find out. I am definitely not a scary cat but those two fish unnerved me. Is this something commonplace? M.

@@deborahmerkerson1145 I don't have any experience really with Barracuda. I am aware that they will attack a spearfisher if you shoot them and don't kill them and that they will go for shiny objects. However, I would say you were in zero danger. There is no way a person would look like food and it is not good survival practice to 'fight' large creatures like humans if a barracuda can't swallow it in a bite, and I have never heard of a problem with them. The one with the spearfishers around was probably excited by speared fish and coming to see if you had some. the 6 feet of water is plenty of depth for bait fish. and they tend to hang around structures like the jetty.

You're pretty safe while diving, great whites usually ambush from the bottom so unless you're flopping around like a seal on the surface you should be ok.

Probably 95% people that encounter a shark don't even know the shark was there near them. They don't have the reason to attack. There's so much footage of people swimming and even kids swimming near a GW shark and those kids don't even know and the shark doesn't care. They just peacefully coexist.

They have no problem eating us just as well.

@@jenniferjones2579 They really don't, they may bite to identify us but we are not on their menu

Humans are essentially aliens to them. They don't know whether we are poisonous or aggressive when attacked, we don't have much body fat... these are the only things protecting us. All it takes is one extra hungry or extra curious shark.

It was a Great White Shark

Yet there are attacks reported every year. Maybe one day Malibu artist will capture one, hopefully where they bite the board or boat only, and will offer perspective. Most attacks are underwater though or maybe a surfer, so not the majority of what Malibu artist films.
