#Shark Week

Welcome to Shark Week 🦈 Let’s celebrate some of the most misunderstood animals on the planet 💙 Can you name all the species of sharks in this video? (there’s 11) #sharkweek #sharks #underwaterphotography #uwphotography #wildlifephotography #oceanlife

Watch until the end of this moment documented by photographer @paulnicklen in the Bahamas in 2021. 🦈 Tiger sharks are one of many apex species humans are tempted to characterize as unthinking killing machines, but on this Shark Awareness Day, it's important to remember that there is much more depth of character to them—including genuine curiosity.

🦈 8 more weeks till CRUNCH TIME 🦈 Clock in with the OG of the sea when #SharkWeek returns Sunday, July 20 on @Discovery. Don’t forget to tell your flippered friends…. 🥸

In time for Shark Week 2021, an annual tradition that airs on the Discovery Channel and is running from July 11-18 this year, we're spotlighting this incredible moment captured by @juansharks in Oahu, Hawaii. 🦈 "I know all the training and the conservation work I do for sharks lead us to this moment. Everything made sense, swimming next to the largest great white shark caught on video to show the peaceful side of sharks. An apex predator, yes, but far from the monster that media dramatizes. Was this safe? Yes, with the right training and knowledge. Replace the fear of sharks with factual information and respect for their role in our environment." 🙏🏼 Witnessing @oceanramsey swim in tandem with this great white shark—respectfully keeping her distance while placing her hand over the top of its pectoral (without touching)—destroys the prejudice often given to these marine fishes, changing the way we think about sharks. How incredible is this footage?

Welcome to one minute in my 🤿 life lately Watching the critically endangered scalloped hammerhead shark schooling is just simply #mesmerizing, don’t you think!? No wonder why after each dive, every time I close my eyes I see shark silhouettes… 😍 It is time we change the way we fish and embrace sustainability. It is time to #savesharks from extinction 🙏🏼 Shot while on a #sharkresearch expedition with @charlesdarwinfoundation @saveourseasfoundation @nsu_sharkresearch @syacadiaonboard @antoinef_ch @rolex #savethesharks #saveourseas #hammerhead #shark #shiver #hammerheads #sharkies #nature #spectacles #underwater #underwaterworld #galapagosislands #ecuador #diving #pelayosalinas

When you hit the jackpot 🎰

Happy shark week everyone! I hope you all get to see some sharks!

Transforming Fear into Fact Millions of people enter the ocean every year, yet shark-related fatalities average just 10 annually. If sharks truly viewed humans as prey, we’d see hundreds of thousands of disappearances. Respect means educating ourselves about sharks—understanding their behavior, debunking myths, and applying safety practices. By adapting our actions and fostering coexistence, we can safely enjoy the ocean while protecting its vital ecosystems.

I LOVE this old Tiger Shark Queen Nikki (Ali’i Nikole) Large sharks will sometimes bite props and metal ladders or poles that conduct electricity into the water, usually its an investigatory checkout due to the attraction from the electro-receptive organ called the Ampullae of Lorenzini, an initial check (bump or bite) or two and they usually stop. In this video I gently lift her nose so she doesn’t run into the boat, but as you can see she still bites the ladder to test it out. This is why we require people to keep their GoPro’s and small electronics on poles, away from their hands, in case a smaller species wants to hone in on the electrical output. Larger species are actually easier to deter with a gentle redirection but of course ***Disclaimer***Please dont attempt to replicate, and if you are in the water and a large shark approaches you, please push down on top of the head, dont apply any pressure below the nose or snout as you can see the natural reaction is to lift away from the pressure and I needed to do this to keep her from running into the ladder, we trimmed the engines up and after a couple checks went back in to have a beautiful dive where Ali’i Nikole (Queen Nikki) was actually quite shy once she saw us looking around at her.

This year’s #SharkWeek means interacting with sharks like never before… 😳

Proof it’s not AI, and that you too, can survive nurse sharks. #sharks #oceanphotography #yachtlife #fish #yachting

If you ever see a shark in the ocean, the worst thing you could do would be to run away from it. Running from a shark triggers a predatory response in them and makes them feel like you are prey. If you stand your ground, make eye contact, and remain calm, this will drastically reduce your chances of continuing to get approached by the shark. If you absolutely needed to as a last resort if the shark is too close, you can firmly place your hand on top of the shark’s head and guide them away from you. These are all tips in the case you unexpectedly encounter a shark while diving or snorkeling, please do not seek these types of interactions with sharks without a professional guide. *This video is done as a demonstration by a professional, please do not attempt* . . . . . . . #shark #sharks #sharkattack #jaws #sharkbite #sharkweek #scary #tigershark #ocean #oceanlife #dive #freedive #predator #prey #savesharks #sharkconservation
