Started watching this tonight. Really interesting documentary.

It's long been one of my ambitions (and probably the wish of many I've met...) to swim with Great White sharks in one of their main hunting grounds at Seal Island (S.A). I've had a couple of shark diving experiences which have been awesome, but nothing could compare to diving cageless with natures ultimate apex predator.

The guy on this doc, not only free swam with 3 different species of shark, including whites, but went back in and did it again overnight with them to prove that even when in 'hunt mode', they still wouldn't attack humans without good reason. Incredible footage if you get chance to watch it - it's just started again now...

Swim with Great Whites without a cage...

Nah...

I'll come and photograph you doing it though (from the boat of course) as long as you don't mind me posting the pics whatever happens... :)
