Sharks of The Bahamas (4k) - Tiger, Great Hammerhead, Lemon, Nurse and Reef sharks

Great shark encounters at Tiger Beach and Bimini with Tiger sharks, Great Hammerhead sharks, Lemon sharks, Nurse Sharks and Carribean Reef Sharks!

The Bahamas, and especially Tiger Beach (for the Tiger sharks) and Bimini (for the Great Hammerheads), is ‘the’ place in the world for shark diving without cage.

Aboard of M/V Dolphin Dream we made 18 dives during a week at sea. After category 5 hurricane Dorian in September 2019 the visibility underwater was still a bit murky in November. The dives and encounters with the sharks were amazing, but it was difficult to do proper video shooting, we made the best of it.

I know there is discussion about shark feeding. Is it right to feed sharks to attract them and bring them in contact with divers? It’s for sure a difficult question. But one thing is clear, the feeding will bring them very close to the divers, so you can experience there enourmous power. Tiger sharks and Great Hammerheads deserve great respect.

Sharks are the most misunderstood animals in the ocean. Contrary to what many people think, sharks are normally not interested in attacking people. The opposite is true, 100 million sharks are killed each year by human, 3 sharks a second.

This movie is the result of around 12 hours of 4k video footage. Shot in November 2019.
