sharks, particularly the great white, are such poorly understood creatures by the general public - i'm not saying they're not dangerous but they're definitely not mindless eating machines - good on yah Kimi for breaking those stereotypes and perceptions!
Painter & surfer *Kimi Werner* is talking about her place in the ecosystem. Look at her diving into the ocean, hunting fishes… and swimming with a white shark! Her website: #ocean #fishing #diving #shark
This is one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen. I watched it years ago and tonight it came back to memory and i watched it again after several years. And got teary eyed all over again.
That's the exact same shark in the GoPro video with Ocean Ramsey! same color pattern and scars... can't be a coincidence, this particular shark is friendly to humans.
in all my years of living in Hawaii and many, many diving trips ... i have never heard of Great Whites being in the nearby waters - always the Tiger Sharks, Black tips, White tips, Hammer heads, but never the Great Whites ... Amazing encounter, thank you for sharing =)
So rare to find a person that truly understands the beauty of hunting and our place in the eco system,. Great shooting and the shadowy striped camo wetsuit is awesome.
This video always chokes me up, no matter how often I watch it. We can co-exist if we accept that we are not above the ecosystem. Kimi is a remarkable person.
I live in Hawaii too!!! I love how there's so many different fishes and creatures here that no where else has! :,) I love where I live, and I will never leave it.
great video! really breaks down the simplicity of life after all the b.s. we go through in this crazy mixed up world. kimi werner, ur a big inspiration to me.
Everything was beautiful about this. The concept of respecting mother nature. The shots below the in the ocean. The art work and most of all, Kimi Werner. Showing that you can be pretty, fiercely brave and have love and respect for the planet. That way of thinking makes her Gorgeous! We need more people teaching us all how beautiful the world is and how beautiful we all can be.
Awesome video Kimi! I can't wait to get in the water to see these incredible creatures. I'm not as brave as you. I'll be viewing them from a shark tube! Thank you for showing the world that these animals are so misunderstood and demonized. They are so graceful and beautiful.
best thing ever to say about human beings. recognizing human beings as being part of the food chain and a part of Earth's ecosystem = sooooooooooooooo overlooked. This is really magic and truth - love it. Thank you for a great 49th birthday present - to be able to view this.... I will be showing this to my high school students on Monday.
Now that's a message you don't hear every day,that sharks can be calm, peaceful and respectful. If anything, you were in that moment of resonance, a mirror to each other. Great perspective and happy to see you representing humans in a good way too. Thanks.
This is awesome! 99% of us would have been terrified at just the sight of a Great White so close. It takes some understanding to have no fear. What a beautiful five minutes!
I know intellectually that the few sharks I've touched in the wild do not want to harm me but letting go of that fear has been difficult. I'm in awe of your ability to be a human who is a part of nature instead of one in competition with with it.
Oh how I can relate with what you're saying and the way you are LIVING your life!!! I've had similar experience with animals that most people wouldn't go near if their life's depended on it. Being in tune with nature and knowing how to read the subtle messages that are always there for those fortunate enough to read them is the key. Thank you Kimi for sharing such a beautiful and enlightening moment of time...
Great Video Kim,, One of the best I have seen! You are a inspiration and will look forward to seeing more of you videos. I have been to Guadalupe 3 times and going back in September to dive with the white shark. But not like you I have not been able to get out and free dive with them.. Maybe one day we will get the permission to do it. If I was only 30 years younger...LOL,, but I still go at it strong at 70..
Well said Ralphy.....that woman has an amazing outlook on life. What a shame that more people aren't like her. Also, she's more brave than most people I know. Myself included
I could not have made a more important film with the perspective on this subject of living a life being part of the wonderful nature and food change that we should be part of.
Watching you diving and maneuver around the ocean floor and swim next to the big sharks!! It's extraordinary and breathtaking. I would have to say Priceless and Speechless! 👍🤗😘
Thats beautiful Kimi, I expect that was a rare moment for the shark as well. They must have their 'lonely moments' as nothing would hang around and say hi! I hope she dreams about that memory. would you know the same shark if you saw her?
Awesome Kimi!! I'm happy that you got to experience something like this. I too believe that we (humans) are a part of the ecosystem. We must have respect for all. Aloha!
I encourage everyone here to watch Grizzly Man and then come back and argue that it's a beautiful thing for a human to get so up close & personal to a wild predator.
Wow, just wow. This video gives me hope for the world, the fact there is someone out there that thinks like this is truly awesome. The shark riding this was also pretty damn awesome
Kimi... jealous of where you live... jealous of the fish you get to hunt and eat... jealous of the weather and beauty that constantly surrounds you in paradise... mahalo
@@kimiwerner O wow thanks for the reply thats made my day !! always hoped there was going to be more from the TV show , big fan ! shame its to cold in wales to actually swim in the sea lol
This was beautiful the shark connected to her. I feel happy for that you're spirits let one another in. And i love the message to all of us in this world. Thank you very much :-)
Breathtakingly the the most beautiful moments with an extraordinarily awesome ocean predator. I love your outlook on life! When I pass on from this world, I want to reincarnate as a great white..ocean’s most feared and loved!
I just respect Kimi so much your love for natural living and your love for the ocean I truly feel as if I'm there with you as you dive your a wonderful person is what I see🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🦈🦈🦈🦈🦀🦀🦀🦀🐠🐡🐡🐠
i love everything about this video, don't really know what else to say but what an amazing message and more people need to see this. btw the comments are kind of disappointing. this video isn't about the girl or how hot she is or how her feet are sexy, it's about our place in the ecosystem, sustainability and how we can prevent a horrible future. but she is pretty and brave just saying
I was born with a pair that quickly retracted when I saw the video---Kimi has earned hers. Just don't try that anymore, unless it's a whale shark. Thanks.
Amazing woman.... She has the understanding to live within the natural world...! Sadly many of us don't..!
You are truly a poet and a great ambassador for Yemayá Young lady. Mahalo for sharing your gift, Aloha🤙🏼

I was brought to tears when you made contact with the GWS. Simply amazing. Symmetry.
Me too, so special to see

I love it how you show another side of the story, the video is truly amazing
One of the most beautiful videos ever. Great interaction with your environment. Thanks Kimi.
This is one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen. I watched it years ago and tonight it came back to memory and i watched it again after several years. And got teary eyed all over again.
Bert sent me here.
awesome!
Breath taking. Thank you Lynette.
This was amazing and put together perfect !!! We need to protect our marine life!!! It the most beautiful part about our world
That's the exact same shark in the GoPro video with Ocean Ramsey! same color pattern and scars... can't be a coincidence, this particular shark is friendly to humans.
it does look like the other shark, strange
It is in fact the same shark. Ocean's experience with this shark took place shortly after this footage was taken
i thought this was the same girl. are you telling me theres 2 badass women swimming with great whites xD
Wonderful piece. Glad to see someone who doesn't let fear and ignorance stop one from experiencing life. Or sheer recklessness from doping the same.

I love it! I've been trying to become one with nature and I feel that you have inspired me to keep going! You are right, humans are not above all.:)
Beautiful video, and gorgeous painting. Thank you for making smile.
BEAUTIFUL sis. MEAN as! massive inspiration. sustenance over ego. shooting for kai instead of trophies.
This video always chokes me up, no matter how often I watch it. We can co-exist if we accept that we are not above the ecosystem. Kimi is a remarkable person.
I live in Hawaii too!!! I love how there's so many different fishes and creatures here that no where else has! :,) I love where I live, and I will never leave it.
Fantastic story, and outlook on life. I could have watch a full movie of that. You are living the life that I wish I could. Thanks for inspiring.

This is truly amazing. I probably wanted this 5 times because of how beautiful this is.

Great video, very nice painting, and a beautiful woman with a great white shark. Just amazing! Thank you for posting.
Kimi, thank you for sharing not only wonderful moments, but also the beautiful message of peace within you integrated with mother nature. Kisses!
Such an Amazing person in her unique ways of acomplishing goals with her research and an Amazing Attest !!
It's been seven years since I first saw this video.. time goes by but nature has been the same since the beginning of time..thank you for this video
Awesome and great time capsule and reminders for all ages
what a fantastic video / message.
you might seem chill, but your one bad chick! I mean, like a warrior type. even the shark knew that! come on!
haha! Thank you!
One of the nicest and tasteful videos on RUclips, finally something worth seeing I appreciate this very much..
Now that's a message you don't hear every day,that sharks can be calm, peaceful and respectful. If anything, you were in that moment of resonance, a mirror to each other. Great perspective and happy to see you representing humans in a good way too. Thanks.
A beautiful and sharing woman living in harmony with the nature at her door. Very nice Kimi.
what an amazing woman
This is awesome! 99% of us would have been terrified at just the sight of a Great White so close. It takes some understanding to have no fear. What a beautiful five minutes!
The difference between humans and animals is that we have a soul that will live on forever in one of two places. Awesome footage. Thanks
I know intellectually that the few sharks I've touched in the wild do not want to harm me but letting go of that fear has been difficult. I'm in awe of your ability to be a human who is a part of nature instead of one in competition with with it.
From Portugal to a sustainability World!!!
thanks!!!

Absolutely Beautiful!
strange how all these people on you tube have videos of kimi but she has no Chanel and its impossible to talk to her .....
yeah, this is basically her channel as she doesn't do much video on her own. @kimi_swimmy is her personal content
I started a RUclips channel! Videos to come weekly. Thanks for the encouragement
@@kimiwerner O wow thanks for the reply thats made my day !! always hoped there was going to be more from the TV show , big fan ! shame its to cold in wales to actually swim in the sea lol
You are an amazing ambassador of the ocean.
Love your zist for life
Luv from South Africa
Amazing video!
Amazing! And lovely pantning.

Great video, I would really like to buy one of her paintings.
Awesom! Thanks, Kimi!

Bert sent me! Love you Kimi!
Beeeeert!
Breathtakingly the the most beautiful moments with an extraordinarily awesome ocean predator. I love your outlook on life! When I pass on from this world, I want to reincarnate as a great white..ocean’s most feared and loved!
She's wonderful. What a great video.
Sharks are one of my favorite animals but I'm terrified of them. That lady is awesome for doing that
Wonderful video. Seems so fantastic what you're doing.
Kimi you never seem to stop amazing me! You are a natural!
I just respect Kimi so much your love for natural living and your love for the ocean I truly feel as if I'm there with you as you dive your a wonderful person is what I see🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🦈🦈🦈🦈🦀🦀🦀🦀🐠🐡🐡🐠
Awesome Kisha. Thank you for watching!

This is an incredible heart felt video. WOW!
I like the way she thinks about life and gets in depth. Inspirational as well as a pretty woman
I just love it, its beautiful, thank you Kimi
i love everything about this video, don't really know what else to say but what an amazing message and more people need to see this.
btw the comments are kind of disappointing. this video isn't about the girl or how hot she is or how her feet are sexy, it's about our place in the ecosystem, sustainability and how we can prevent a horrible future.
but she is pretty and brave just saying
Everyone would be scared shitless getting so close to that shark ! That girl is unique !
Amazing moment. I can't do that. How brave you are!.🤗
Very special video.THANKS=)
This is epic! She is truly living life!
Says something when I already thought it would be this girl... She paints too? Awesome!
I was born with a pair that quickly retracted when I saw the video---Kimi has earned hers. Just don't try that anymore, unless it's a whale shark. Thanks.
Awesome!!
Amazing video amazing story. I really liked this.
