Queen is magnificent isn't she?

@@adliwaziri Indeed and I caught her on my "Go Pro" gliding right over my head⚒️🦈⚒️

I'm happy you enjoyed the video! Thanks!

Glad you liked it!

Thank you!

No lights while recording. Did do some lighting adjustments in post processing (Davinci Resolve)

Thanks for subbing!

Yes, what happened to the guy in Egypt was horrible, but I think it's important to remember how extremely rare attacks like that are. There are only 39 TOTAL confirmed unprovoked tiger shark attack fatalities since recording started in the late 1500s according to the International Shark Attack File. Every year ~30 people die of lightning strikes in the U.S. alone, but that news is only reported locally, unlike shark attacks where news even the smallest bite is spread far and wide by the media (and usually dramatized with scary music and hyperbolic story telling.) Any attack is tragic, but the reporting ends up demonizing sharks which contributes to the fact that most species are critically endangered.

@@adliwaziri Yes, the truth is how unfortunate the contemporary shark populations are , to be trying to survive in 21st century's human hell. No doubt about that.

I'm fairly sure that Jim Abernathy is still going out there with his boat Shear Water. Emma is still there as far as I know - I shot this video a little over a year ago, but she showed up every day for 5 days on that trip. She's in this video quite a bit, as well as several times in my non-feeding video here ruclips.net/video/9CV-E62bfXI/видео.html

@@adliwaziri sorry I missed your reply to Jim Abernethy ( didnt get notifications) Thank you so much, I'm glad to know this! And that you enjoyed your experience! 😊

Hey James! Still using Paralenz Vaquita. Might switch to GoPro next time though. Paralenz went out of business and aren't doing software updates any more. Also, it would be nice to have the stabilization software that GoPro has, so it's not so jerky. :D Do you have any video of your trip to Raja Ampat?

Yeah, still editing. But I'll put something together to send.

Thanks James! Looking forward to seeing some Raja Ampat video from you!

Not long, under 6hrs. There was a bit of back and forth via email, but they were good about responding

@@adliwaziri thank you will need to submit today so there isn’t hiccups then.

@@earving9838 best of luck, and enjoy your trip!

Thanks man. While my life-long fascination with marine life (particularly sharks) is the largest part of why I love to dive, it's far from the only reason. The ability to move in 3 dimensions, "flying" over a 2,000 ft abyss, the calm of hearing nothing but your own breathing/bubbles, the camaraderie and friendships that are formed from sharing a dive boat with other like-minded people from all over the world - those are all things that would keep me diving even if there were no wildlife at all.
