divers frederick bowie william winram pierre voila and underwater cameraman christian petrol want to show the world that they can get closer to the inhabitants of the

ocean

s closer than anyone ever before their equipment is just a diver mask and fins no scuba tanks or safety cages these divers trust the inhabitants of the deep to accept a peaceful visit to their kingdom begin a journey around the world that will takes the coast of Mexico to the hunting ground of the great white shark the expedition continues to the unknown beaches of the Pacific islands of French Polynesia a world where miniature islands are lost in the infinite blue ocean the team begins its journey towards the remains of sunken ships and hidden underwater caves In the Mediterranean, free divers can venture into the realm of the deep anywhere in the world.

In my opinion, free diving is the best way to explore the underwater world because when you freedive you don't have much equipment, you don't have the tanks you don't make bubbles you are silent you don't make any noise which allows you to follow the fish to observe them and see things that you will never be able to observe in other types of diving and that is the great advantage of freediving, but this effortless flotation that is possible thanks to water has long been unattainable for humans. Diving technology allows them to stay underwater longer and deeper, but all the heavy equipment makes them foreigners in the underwater world.

Most humans only dare to venture into their world with the protection of technology, but what if sheer will made possible a completely new experience of the underwater world if man forgot his fear of the depths where his dreams are? limits the kingdom of the depths a world that still harbors surprising and incalculable secrets in its blue depths leaving humans full of wonder the earth a blue planet 71 of the globe is covered with water the heartbeat of the earth is felt by many living beings in All over the world its ebb and flow the Mediterranean has shared its riches with people for thousands of years however there are only a few places where a diversity of species has survived to save them.

Natural reserves were created, such as here on the island of Porcrol underwater, the visitor faces an infinite number of different landscapes. The rocky mountains are crossed by clear valleys covered with posidonia. The freediver. frederick bowie lives and works here he is an underwater photographer the exceptional diver can stay more than five minutes underwater without disturbing the fish with the noise made by a pressurized air tank the mediterranean sea is home to mysterious places and scenes of tragedy past shipwrecks of sunken ships the feeling of mystery and danger surrounds them the donor was a cargo ship that struck a mine and sank after the end of the second world war the enormous shipwreck is located between the island ofcacarol and bokro the current between the islands creates a spectacular abundance of life the donor is located at a depth of 50 meters this dive is a serious challenge for freedivers just to get there and back they have to travel more than 100 meters in one go the remains of this dead ship are full of life it seems that

nature

has conquered the barren desolation of human technology and has turned it into a true paradise the colors revealed by the spotlights are incredible once in the shipwreck they must be careful to conserve energy to avoid a possible blackout along the way back so reefs are like underwater islands.

In the blue expanse of the ocean they offer shelter and food for all kinds of underwater creatures. Peace and tranquility under the water prevails, but the wreck attracts divers in droves. Everything changes dramatically. The bubbles exhaled by all these divers now dominate the wreck. The fish are removed thanks to modern ones. technology more and more people dare to go into ever greater depths without sufficient experience this is quite dangerous since a problem at a depth of 50 meters can quickly become dangerous underwater mass tourism for fred there is nothing left to see here the exceptional diver has met many, however, Frederick Bree has prepared one of the greatest

adventure

s in his history in the Mediterranean, his destination is some underwater caves on the coast with a very sensitive ecosystem, researchers must take into account that breathable air of compressed air bottles should not accumulate in the caves, so the freediver's sensitive and discreet technique is ideal.

This is a world that places high demands on the skills of free divers. The entrance itself is 20 meters away. under the surface it is impossible to resurface right in the middle of the cave william winram friend of frederick wee and also one of the best free divers in the world will come and film him in this

adventure

to survive such a dangerous undertaking requires supreme skill, self-control and physical fitness, is nothing to the faint-hearted who think there is no life in these dark and cold caves. It's definitely wrong. A few years ago some sponge organisms in caves attracted a lot of attention from scientists.

It is believed that sponges contain a certain toxin that could be beneficial in treating diseases such as cancer and help. It's time to get stressed again here. can be fatal, some free divers can reach incredible depths of more than 200 meters in the open sea and stay underwater for more than seven minutes, but these are record-breaking dives. This incredible ability is the result of extreme physical training and incredible self-control to overcome the respiratory reflex mission completed the divers arrived safely at the ship after more than five minutes the next destination is waiting more than sixteen thousand kilometers away moria It is one of the society islands more precisely it is one of the windward islands its largest neighbor is tahiti located right in the heart of the marine mammal conservation area that was established in 2002 with green volcanic peaks that provide an unparalleled view of the surrounding ocean.

Moorea is an island that captures the essence of a tropical idol: the brilliant turquoise bays with their deep, clear waters. The waters are bordered by a protective reef that surrounds the entire island. Fred visits Dr. michael poole is the director of the marine mammal research program at the island's environmental observatory and research center, it is very likely that he has heard of this extraordinary marine photographer and wants to cooperate with fred here we go dr. Poole was one of the driving forces behind the creation of the Dr. Whale and Dolphin Sanctuary. Poole does not usually work with divers, he tends to observe and identify animals on the surface.

Humpback whales have completely individual tail fins that are different in both shape and color. Occasionally, whales perform spectacular and even acrobatic performances, rising from the water and hit the surface with their tail fins, they may be attempts to get rid of irritating parasites, the frenetic spectacle causes fragments of whale skin to be released that scientists quickly gather in the water, allows them to analyze the animal's DNA with the time they can reconstruct an increasingly detailed description of each individual now they are lucky they see a cow whale with her calf they seem to be resting near the surface fred prepares freedivers always prepare quickly for their dives fred always makes the first exploratory dive just this one Maybe luck is on your side, the baby whale is not at all shy, it is even playful while its mother rests further down the whale.

The mother remains still in the depths, looking towards the surface, watching over her baby, she is still very curious and playful, she is a unique opportunity for a close encounter an encounter between two divers from the human and animal kingdom so it's time to say goodbye the mother finally intervenes and the two majestic marine mammals move. Photographs like these can only be taken underwater. They are a very welcome addition to the catalog of whale researchers. That's really nice. I mean, from an aesthetic point of view, it's absolutely beautiful. Nice brands, yes, and look. How do these throat plates fork?

Can you go back just a second here splitting in two? In fact, it allows for greater extension, greater expansion as it absorbs water and food. Very, very nice. These detailed photographs of the whale's unique markings are invaluable to Dr Poole's research working from the boat, he would not normally be able to take photographs as detailed as these. In fact, we can identify whales not only by their tails, not only by their dorsal fins, we can identify them by their folds. They are different for each individual photograph. Fred, yes, really very nice. but let's see if we can determine the sex of the individuals.

Each island in French Polynesia offers a unique world. Moria with its mountains and crevices is the complete opposite of the flat atolls just 400 kilometers away, but they all have one thing in common: the turquoise bays are home to brilliant coral reefs and the sea forms an important part of the life of the local population a very

special

place in rangiora the blue lagoon is a protected area the palm trees and beaches are home to a rich variety of bird species including several curved birds such as the bluebird and even the violet parrot, which has disappeared from most of the islands of the South Pacific, still survives here.

Fred heads towards the blue lagoon, a remote and very

special

place. The blue lagoon is also a shark nursery. Young sharks need protection from strong currents and large ones. predatory fish that could be a danger here on the atoll it is difficult to reach the lagoon in this protected bay the sharks have little to fear and thrive in relative safety there are only a few places left on earth where the animals are kept in peace from tourists and protected from hunters, the blue lagoon of rangiora is one of the plans to build hotels and resorts. Fortunately they were never put into practice.

These juvenile lemon sharks and blacktip reef sharks will remain in shallow waters free of predators, including their own relatives, until they're large enough to fend for themselves French scientist Johann Mourier attempts to discover more about the life cycle life of sharks johann takes out nets to examine the young sharks in more detail fred can film the little sharks in his free time when they are born these sharks are close They are 60 centimeters long, but by the time they reach adulthood they will have grown to around 3.5 meters, so we have a female here, so I will just need help loading the shark that we have here.

Look, we have America's car, so she's a new guy. He was born about a month ago, okay, can you hold him? Which right do you choose for Japan or do you do it like a gentleman? Okay, yeah, let me do it out of the water. Okay, so it's 69 centimeters. Now I will take a giant example. taking it from here from the tail, yes, relative, I put the sample in the alcohol for future genetic analysis to extract the DNA and be able to take it for a long time, okay, it's beautiful, it's like the big one, but it's small, yes, really They look like beautiful creatures, their eyes are incredible.

Adult lemon sharks are only found outside the bays beyond the coral ring along with his friend William Winram. Fred helps scientists in their research on lemon sharks. Lemon sharks are impressive animals. They are among the largest sharks in the ocean. The bred animals look terrifying, but so far no fatal accidents in typical shark style have been known. Lemon sharks are equipped with rows of teeth that can be replaced repeatedly. Some sharks lose 30,000 or more teeth in their bodies. Throughout life, other types of sharks are also curious and approach divers: gray reef sharks and blacktip sharks, which have also become curious.

The distinctive second dorsal fin is noticeably large. Freedivers want to attach transmitters to sharks to earn more. information about their territoriality the marine biologist expects them to come closer than he can with his noisy diving equipment the diver's work begins by trying to accustom the animals to his presence lemon sharks have very few natural enemies the only threat comes from some Few other chosen species of sharks or, chillingly, lemon sharks of their own species tend to prey on all types of fish, including smaller sharks and even juveniles of their own species, but rays, crustaceans, octopuses and squid too. are on their menu, but although divers can get close to theanimals, the real ones The test is getting the right angle for a successful shot near the rear fin.

Johan checks the receiver that he records. If the shark transmitter is nearby. Only a calmly swimming shark can be harpooned with precision. Frightened animals will quickly disappear or, worse yet, aggressive animals might lunge. an attack as the shark skin is unusually hard the harpoon has to be fired at close range to penetrate it is quite a difficult task the transmitter is well placed johan documents the tag fred has reloaded the harpoon and is ready for

another

attempt a female is lucky large It is an ideal goal. This transmitter is also secure and well located. In the coming years, researchers will discover where lemon sharks spend their time, whether they have a preference for certain locations or whether they spend their time spread out across the atoll. johann passes the next transmitter to fred the mission is complete it has been a total success the steps through the coral reef ring are especially significant for the ecological system of the reefs the current through the coral reefs turns them into steps This is the territory of the gray reef shark which lives here in large groups divers should remain alert other sharks are ready and waiting gray reef sharks gray reef sharks are generally curious but not aggressive towards people and unlike many types of sharks, they are still relatively common, although Fred and Will are surrounded by sharks, they remain calm, their controlled movements and their silent presence means that the sharks are relaxed and allow them to stay close and they grow to a length of approximately 2.5 meters .

They can dive to an impressive depth of around 300 meters in search of prey. These sharks are not only hunters, they are also prey and their predators include the great hammerhead shark. Perhaps their presence means that the team has a good chance of finding the hammerhead sharks where The Passage that opens into the sea is the habitat of the large shark species: the lemon shark, the tiger shark, the great hammerhead shark and the tip shark. silver Silvertip sharks are easily distinguished by their light-colored fins, while gray reef sharks always stay close to the coral. On the atoll, these larger silvertip sharks often venture further into the open ocean and will make sure to never turn their back on predators as long as they can maintain visual contact and don't give the sharks a chance to cast. a surprise attack.

Sure, it is certainly much easier to observe these sharks as they are very curious and approach divers. There are several theories about what is happening here, whether the jacks are trying to drive the sharks out of their territory or they are cleaning themselves by rubbing against them. Their rough skin may also hunt alongside sharks. Sharks want to know if it is worth launching an attack and spend a lot of time weighing the situation. They are not known for being aggressive towards humans, but down here nothing can be taken for granted. Sharks keep a very wary eye on Fred and Will.

Two large hammerhead sharks were sighted here off the coast of Rangiroa. Fred and you won't want to miss the opportunity to observe such a rare animal, no matter what your chances are. they are not good, it is not the diver who finds the hammerhead shark but the shark who finds the diver the diver tries to be as discreet as possible in the weights this can be a decisive advantage for fred no hammerhead shark is seen they are solitary hunters and despite their enormous size they are very shy but fred is lucky there in the distance he sees the outlines of a great hammerhead shark however the predator keeps his distance now staying calm is the motto no movement is to irritate the shark the great hammerhead shark is an animal Impressive, an adult hammerhead shark can reach between three and six meters and weigh up to 500 kilos.

These enormous animals are cautious hunters. They usually disappear quickly after being controlled. To follow them makes no sense. The great hammerhead shark is an oceanic shark that travels long distances. Fred remains motionless to see if the animal is going to get closer. The great hammerhead shark is distinguished from other species of hammerhead sharks by its very large crescent-shaped first dorsal fin. Science still does not have a concrete answer to the

quest

ion of why. why these sharks have such a strange shape of the head researchers want to discover what advantages hammerhead sharks obtain from this strange adaptation an encounter with this hunter in the infinite oceans is a great stroke of luck for a diver in polynesia they call the great hammerhead shark the king of sharks suddenly another An impressive member of the shark family approaches a tiger shark and it is not shy at all.

They owe their name to their characteristic pattern of dark stripes. They can reach an astonishing length of more than five meters. Their size alone inspires respect, as tiger sharks can be very curious. They are not shy around humans. Some of the largest sharks in the world now gather in the vicinity of the free diver. The hammerhead shark returns. Some scientists believe that the shape of the head provides aerodynamic advantages could provide greater stability during ultra-fast maneuvers in Hammerhead sharks have also been observed using their heads to anchor lightning bolts to the ground before eating them. The extreme width of their heads could make it easier to receive electromagnetic signals from their prey, or perhaps hammerhead sharks are capable of creating three-dimensional impressions. of his environment through his sense of smell but all these theories have not yet been confirmed it is time for Fred to recover from the strenuous dives to greater depths but sharks do not only live in the depths whitetip sharks rarely meet Found in the vicinity of the coast, they are easily identified due to their high, strongly rounded dorsal fins.

These sharks are usually solitary and belong to the few species that can be very dangerous to humans, but adults rarely encounter people as only juveniles remain close to the coast. Pilot fish are often found accompanying these sharks. It is the second largest atoll in French Polynesia. Rubber is a UNESCO biosphere reserve. It houses a particularly rich and impressive collection of plants and animals. It is designed to protect species diversity and offer local people a way of life. in harmony with

nature

, which also provides a secure resource base for the future of the islanders in many ways these flat islands are not ideal for human occupation due to rising sea levels due to global warming many inhabitants fear for their The archipelagos are supported by the remains of ancient volcanoes.

These have sunk a long time ago and only the coral ring that surrounds them remains. These cracks were the basis for new islands. Blacktip reef sharks are often seen around the coral reefs of the South Pacific. You shouldn't worry. divers often found in large numbers like many types of sharks are quite curious and often approach humans underwater their beautifully patterned dorsal fin often protrudes from the surface of the water so-called shark suckers use sharks As a means of transportation many people consider diving the coral reefs of the South Seas as one of the highlights of their lives.

Coral reefs are often called the rainforests of the sea. They are part of the most diverse and species-rich habitats on Earth. A reef is essentially a metropolis of the sea many fish seek safety in the banks others hide among the corals the sun is important for the reef coral polyps live in symbiosis with tiny algae that use photosynthesis to convert sunlight into sugar This is why coral reefs depend on the sun and grow towards each other. They tend to thrive only in light-filled shadows. Reefs form the basis of highly complex ecosystems. The reef itself is made up of relatively few different corals.

There are about 5,000 types. of coral in the world compared to the 20,000 different types of fish that call the coral reef their home despite the serene impression this is not a paradise predators roam the reefs and tough competition for space and food makes life incredibly tough some species are positively rebuilding the reef during their search for food this yellow margin triggerfish is searching for prey amongst the coral rubble this rass also leaves a trail of destruction in its search for a tasty morsel a headed rass Humpback swims on the reef can grow to a length of more than 2 meters and weighing about 200 kilograms creates even more commotion When searching for food among the corals, this parrotfish is one of the most impressive reef fish around.

Using its hard, beak-shaped mouth, it works on the corals to reach the algae inside and swallows large gulps of this mixture of algae and coral so that its feces tend to be composed almost entirely of coral sand, the The result is that parrotfish are almost exclusively responsible for the sand found on the reefs. For a quiet and free diver there is a lot to listen to. The underwater world is not a quiet world at all and the fish are by no means quiet, this puffer fish has a clean mouth. Hygiene is a big thing here on the reef.

Fred also finds a rare hawksbill turtle nearby. They are generally very shy, but this one does not seem to feel threatened by Fred's presence. He is busy searching. Feeding mainly on sponges that live among corals, this trumpet fish uses a grouper as cover to hunt in an area where it could hardly hide. Coral reefs around the world are especially threatened by rising ocean temperatures caused by global warming, which causes so-called coral bleaching when corals die. If reefs die, species diversity will decrease and entire ecosystems will collapse here in wakarava we can still admire a complex ecosystem intact this trumpet fish cleverly disguises itself as part of the manta ray other rays prefer the deep manta rays grow from five to nine meters in length, making them the largest of their species .

They are harmless giants. The majestic manta rays have found a swarm of small larvae that they collect from the water. There are a lot of reasons for a marine photographer. Then the divers receive other visitors, mammals like them, curious and playful in the weightlessness of the ocean, come to investigate the divers. The dolphins are essentially perfectly adapted free divers. They can hold their breath for up to 15 minutes and reach incredible depths of up to 300 meters. The dolphins from rangiroa they have been accustomed to people for a long time they are curious and maintain only a very small safety distance from divers humans have always been fascinated with the playful group behavior of dolphins and their curious nature and although many species of sharks They also hunt in their own species.

Dolphins are very sociable animals. These highly developed and successful predators do not spend all day chasing their prey. Dolphins have time to play and enjoy life. For many people, they represent an ideal free and full lifestyle. of love for life decide how much time they want to spend time with people and then disappear back into the wide expanses of their underwater home. A group of barracudas patrol the edges of the cliffs like sharks. They have a fearsome reputation among humans, but reports of actual attacks are few and far between. Among them are imposing fish that reach lengths of up to two meters and are equipped with a set of sharp fang-shaped teeth.

Young barracudas are often found in large groups in open water, but adults tend to be solitary. The large reef provides shelter to a wide variety. of inhabitants with special living conditions unlike other species of sharks that have to be in constant movement so that the water runs through their gills and allows them to breathe. Whitetip reef sharks can pump water into their gills while resting in the seabed Fred can observe a sucker fish cleaning the shark's gills at point-blank range, saying goodbye to the coral reefs of the southern seas. However, the biggest and most dangerous adventure still awaits Fred, the isolated island of Guadalupe, 250 kilometers from the Mexican mainland. in the open sea it takes at least a day to get there by boat the seabed sinks to a depth of about a kilometer and a half here off the coast you can reach the island by boat in half a day from Mexico if the weather is good team is supported by pierre froela from monaco our former world freediving champion also lies angry well protected in the north bay the expedition boat rocks gently in the waves theMexican marine biologist Dr.

Mauricio Hoyos waits impatiently for the divers to arrive for five months a year when he is on the island to carry out his field research good and flat conditions see the comfortable waves hey, it's good to see you, I saw the one with the transmitter, This will be an exceptional challenge for divers, I think someone saw that female in the other boat yesterday they told me it's huge Mauricio Holes says they saw a great white shark they saw the shield they didn't see it from the submersible cage they had photos and it really is very large it is the first time that humans try to dive with the guadalupe giants the divers will not be protected by a safety cage their only protection years of experience and incredible self-control no one knows exactly what will happen once the three freedivers are in the water christian petron prepare your camera if you are diving You have to hold your breath because if you emit these bubbles the shark will leave when we were diving yesterday and the shark was very close to us but when it hurt the bubbles were far from us we wanted to take photos but we couldn't because we were global with the bubbles but with this with free diving it is perfect because there is no sound so I think the track does not feel threatened the three divers work together each one covers the other's back if a shark materializes no wants to be taken by surprise if they swim far below them pierre tries to awaken the shark's curiosity with a noise suddenly they see a movement far below the shadow he does not approach them william decides to turn he places himself on top of the shark and approaches to him, how will the predator react, but the shark does not accept the challenge once again, it disappears into the blue of the ocean the next time they try, divers cannot get close to the shark what this killer could do? short work of each of the divers with a single bite but he stays away cautiously he decides how close they can get there are no signs of aggression but he also shows no fear against all expectations this first encounter with sharks has exposed great whites as Cautious, even the shy animals, the elements of wind and water have dug deep furrows in the face of Guadeloupe.

No matter how inhospitable this isolated island may seem to some creatures, it is a paradise and a safe haven. The northern elephant seals enjoy the isolation that the saved from certain extermination in the hands of greedy hunters at the beginning of the last century they were already considered extinct they were hunted for the oil extracted from their fat elephant seals they are the largest seals in the world despite their ungainly appearance on land They are skilled acrobats and underwater hunters. Capable of chasing fish and octopuses to an astonishing depth of 600 meters, but in the open sea hunters can quickly become prey.

This seal has been the recent victim of a ferocious attack, a shark attack, as shown by the traces of blood. Where the injured animal returned to land but will survive they are not completely unprotected in the water the bulls can grow up to more than four meters and weighing up to two and a half tons, they are not easy prey for a white shark. Their fat acts as a shield not only against the cold but also against the serrated teeth of the great white shark. The island is also home to other rare inhabitants. This is where where the Guadalupe fur seals live, they are the rarest of the southern fur seals and are strictly protected.

They narrowly escaped extermination and were already considered extinct, but in the safety of the rugged rocky coast, some managed to survive once underwater. The inhabitants of Guadeloupe are in their true element. Cautious, light-colored elephant seals and curious dark fur seals have visitors flocking to the area. The elephant seals slowly approach the encounter with the divers. They use the cliffs as protection. Good news. The elephant seal population is continually growing, so the northern elephant seal is no longer in serious danger. Sea lions are phenomenal swimmers. They show no fear and approach the divers. Up close, the team are probably the first humans they have come face to face in a long time, perhaps they see divers as animals similar to themselves and they wouldn't be far wrong.

Guadalupe fur seals have incredibly large eyes that allow them to have an excellent view underwater the seals have a torpedo-shaped body they are perfectly adapted to life in the water their characteristics make the seals more aerodynamic the perfect shape for phenomenal divers and swimmers today the island of guadalupe is a strictly protected nature reserve so the colony was able to recover today no one can hunt elephant seals or sea lions except the great white shark the giant predators patrol outside the bays with colonies of sea lions here divers have the best chance of encountering sharks as always when hunting patience the main thing or it will be a trick the solution pierre tries to arouse the shark's curiosity maybe splashing on the surface of the water could guide the sharks towards them something that Ordinary swimmers and divers should avoid at all costs in shark-infested waters.

Will the shark listen to you and here it comes accompanied by a sea lion that, like divers, is not afraid of the giant, but divers do not want to wait on the surface for just one. of freedivers will try to get closer while others watch your back the cautious tactic pays off gradually the sharks seem to be getting used to the divers they become more and more curious about the visitors but the divers have to stay alert the shark right in front of them they are not always the only shark around william william just behind you will be lucky to escape from here just a moment of carelessness could cost a diver his life the shark's behavior reveals their growing curiosity but also that they do not want to take any risks by attacking any unknown opponent spontaneously just looking at them without prejudice allows you to look at them without fear again and again the sharks move away only at the last moment eye contact is important a shark wants to attack suddenly it will wait while it feels observed little by little the divers manage to get closer Many sharks have their photographs taken by impressive animals everywhere, so for a long time it was thought that sharks spent most of their time in coastal waters hunting sea lions and seals, but with the help of high-speed satellite transmitters. technology it was clear that they are dedicated to it. incredible journeys of several thousand kilometers during these long-distance migrations they tend to remain at depths of 300 or 500 meters but until now scientists have only been able to observe them near the surface of the water the rest of the sharks' life remains a mystery a break for The divers had time to consider the exciting experiences.

She was taking the opportunity to come from below and, since you don't see her coming from below, she really comes towards you and she doesn't stop, she doesn't stop about 50 or 60 centimeters from you. It turns out that he is really cute, very cute, Mauricio has installed receivers near seal colonies in three bays around Guadeloupe, when a shark equipped with one of their radio transmitters approaches, they record the signal. Mauricio hopes these data support his theory that large females are the most prolific hunters of seals. as they need the extra energy provided by the seal blubber, however to do so the transmitters must be attached to the sharks, divers will perform this task, the transmitters are attached near the rear fin using barbed hooks, Fred Will and Pierre carefully prepare the rope that holds them. the transmitter to the bar the transmitters are very expensive and losing one would be a serious blow to the entire project to penetrate the tough skin of the shark they have to be shot with a harpoon the last and most important dive begins the crew takes the same approach as before and allows the sharks to get used to them in the water first the plan is for will to take a photo before pierre tries to tag the first shark everything goes according to plan pierre manages to get into an ideal position to fire his harpoon but then hesitates, the opportunity passes.

Fred explains what happened: a shark with similar tags, but like, not an acoustic cycle, something with parasites, yeah, maybe it's the feather, it was from a satellite transmitter, so now it just has the parasites, I think so . you want us to take that one yeah, if you are, if you're sure it's not acoustic, it's not acoustic, okay, we can shoot, but it doesn't have to be, maybe it's just the feather with the parasites, yeah, yeah, again. The divers try to reach the ideal position to shoot, but Pierre realizes the danger. He will be right in front of the shark.

If the shark becomes aggressive, it will be extremely vulnerable. Pierre has to let the shark go a second time, but an experienced hunter knows that patience is enough. the first on the list the divers take their time maybe the shark has noticed some tension between the team maybe the long unknown harpoons have scared him he is very cautious so pierre has another chance it is a good hit but the hook did not bite the The transmitter falls along the line towards the depths. The shark is definitely scared and disappears. Will has found another target and prepares to shoot while Pierre recovers his transmitter.

Will shoots but the angle is not ideal. The line does not release the transmitter. The shark is getting nervous eventually the line slacks and the fragment is able to swim away, but Will is lucky that an aggressive and nervous shark is unpredictable. This could have ended very badly, but the transmitter is fixed and well placed. Now everything is going well and the team manages to score two big ones. females, did you take it, the big female, big, excellent, it's a female, right, it's a female, oh yes, it's huge, excellent quality of the moment, photos, you left it well, perfect, oh, the other shocking one, stop there, she's back, hey, did you take a photo with the cat?

Here yes, this shot was perfect, the transmitter is firmly in place and releases the line immediately. Mauricio is more than satisfied. Yes of course, he is a large female and I think they are feeding on the seals. The big females I have seen many times. physical shields of the females, so this is perfect for the violation that I said a few days ago, it has been an exceptional achievement. Getting closer than this to great white sharks in their own element is practically impossible, the journey to the realm of the deep reaches In the end, you can really explain to people that they are nice animals because all the photos you see of great white sharks and in the movie they are always with their mouths open looking at the camera, but you should know that if they do it it is because you have a lot of blood and bait in the water, sometimes even bait on the camera or in the cage, so they go there and have agents spectacular, but when they don't have bait, they are simply curious and want to see. what we are and they stay for 15 20 minutes and then they leave, but they never open their jaws.

The only time I was a little worried was when William tagged the shark when I saw the shark. I think, oh my God, taking the. passage that the wow is gone but it's just one time I was very worried because the shark was shy humans have to take care of the marine life and sailors have to prove that the shark is not dangerous, it is curious and lives in the sea. instead so we have to respect that yes, only visitors
