I've seen this multiple times in South Africa and Guadalupe (this is footage I shot in Guadalupe)..A seal swimming around the boat and cages, almost leisurely, while multiple white sharks are around.  Sometimes they follow the sharks, perhaps playing, perhaps staying away from the front end of the shark...but I've never seen one pursued, much less killed.  Is it that hard to catch a seal if it's not an ambush?  I used to think "yes", until I saw the video on the right.

Picture

Craziest footage of a predation next to a boat I've ever seen (not counting full breaches on lured decoys in False Bay).

I've seen seals swimming next to the shark cages on multiple occasion without seeming to be concerned about the sharks.  This one was wrong.

Purpose

Picture
A two minute film exploring the very precise role the white shark plays on this planet.  Will man allow this animal to do its job?

White Shark Behavior: Part 1

Picture
From South Africa to Northern California, this film introduces the viewer to some of the more surprising aspects of the white shark's behavior.  Shy, calm, curious, and intelligent replace the image created by JAWS.

Swimming in Shark Alley

Picture
Documenting my first season with white sharks, ending with me swimming in Shark Alley, the white shark capitol of the world.

Fear

Picture
Putting earth's most feared and earth's most dangerous side by side makes one wonder which is the more frightening.

White Shark Projects Promo

Picture
A promotional film for White Shark Projects, showcasing their volunteer program in Gansbaii, South Africa.

White Dream

Picture
A dream of man and white shark together is realized through footage of Andre Hartman.

Connection

Picture
James Moskito enters shark infested waters to save the life of an entangled whale.

The Farallon Islands

Picture
"The Farallon Islands" WSV shot and edited this video for the Gulf of the Farallones Marine Sanctuary Visitor Center in  2006.  The Farallones are a mysterious place that time seems to have forgotten. 

Films (not by me) that I like
A review of Mike Rutzen's history with the white shark.  Great free diving footage and insightful information as to the white sharks realm.
I've had the pleasure of meeting Chris and Monique Fallows and can say that they truly care about and love these animals.

The Modern

Sizes

A "cleaned-up" and hollowed out version of the original WSV logo

Original Jaws

Sizes

The first shirt with Jaws on the front.  Features the full set of Jaws rather than just teeth.

The back says, "Sharks don't kill people, people do", making a statement about sharks and mankind without the bolder and harsher humor of the "I kill people" shirts.


Good VS. Evil

Sizes

Making a statement...not necessarily the perspective people are accustomed to.

Picture
Earth's most dangerous animal rears it's ugly head again, this time in the form of proactively hunting earth's most feared animal.  The killing of an endangered species (supported by Australia's government) is one of the most idiotic wildlife tragedies to occur in recent history.  Learn why this action not only doesn't help, but is harmful, then add your name and voice.

Disintegrate

Sizes

A take on the "modern" logo with a "shattered" look.

The back features a set of full Jaws and the statement "Sharks don't kill people, I kill people."


The shirt from my first gallery show, "The Price of Existence."

Features an abstract image of a great white bursting through the surface while the back features a filled in version of the "modern" WSV logo.

For WSV fans with a darker, drier sense of humor

Sometimes the original is the best.  The "toothy" integration of the letters 'W', 'S', and 'V'...this continues to be the most popular design.

"The Farallon Islands" WSV shot and edited this video for the Gulf of the Farallones Marine Sanctuary Visitor Center in  2006.  The Faralonnes are a mysterious place that time seems to have forgotten.  These islands are home once a year to a wide range of migrating  animal species not to mention a favorite feeding ground for some of the largest great whites in the world.  (footage shot and edited by White Shark Video)


WSV traveled to Ano Nuevo National Park to observe northern elephant seals mating and giving birth along the California Coast.  


The pups of this massive creatures have been known to gain 300 lbs a week before heading out to the ocean.


An adult elephant seal can weigh 5,000 lbs and have been known to kill rival males during mating season.  This is the favorite prey of the great white shark.  By comparison humans are an easy catch...but not one worth pursuing.

"White Dream" is an artistic short film abstract and ambient in nature which plays upon the irrational fears and obsessions humans hold with great white sharks.  This film also pays tribute to Andre Hartman, the man who pioneered open water interaction with great whites without the protection of a cage.
This film was a graduate school project and features borrowed footage as well as original footage.

"Swimming in Shark Alley" This short film documents a season in Gansbaai, South Africa discovering the true nature of great whites.  Shark videographer, Lalo Saidy, takes WSV's Skyler Thomas to Shark Alley to swim unprotected in a high traffic hunting ground of white sharks.  Is it possible to survive such a foolish adventure?

Shark Art is back

What's your opinion?

Picture
I'll try to leave my opinion out of this topic, but regardless of my personal feelings it raised an interesting question for me.  What type of research results would, in your opinion, justify the invasive methods that National Geographic's 'Shark Men' use with white sharks?  Meaning, what type of information would you expect to gain in exchange for the implied risks?  Share on the blog.
