Have you ever seen Freediver Emil swimming with Great White Sharks Tiger Sharks and Duskys while they are all feeding on a whale carcass of the South coast of Natal in South Africa
I heard when this guy turned 18, his parents moved out of his house.
Wrong copied joke buddy, you are adopted
@@chester4082 that's what your mom told me
@@petbull7038 his mom told your that your adopted? That's even worst
@@Ryu-lo9io I like how even though you edited your two sentence comment you still can't spell correctly. You're definitely adopted
@@petbull7038 I like how you tried to find a reason to roast me by looking at my edits, atleast I edit my mistakes
These sharks are so brave to be in the water with that man.
Lmfao
This guy laughs after every sentence
@@mariaellis2882 he is probably still shaken up by being in the water with all those sharks. He is probably just stoked to be alive and he is happy he was able to get some good footage as well. I get that way when I get scared or hurt, it’s a coping mechanism, perfectly normal lol.
@@SuicidalRemains There sharks he knows they aren't going to bite him for no reason.
@@robthesnakeguy4618 I think it’s the fact that they are wild animals, and they are unpredictable. You never know how they will react each time he jumps into the water with them.
"The hungry sharks are the ones far away, the full sharks are the ones close by" is a life lesson
Sharks: "That's the craziest seal I've ever seen!"
I thought Aquaman was just a fictional character
Aquaman can use animals in the ocean to kill or injure other people,this guy can't do that and this is one shark compared to others who have killed 10 year old children just for swimming in the ocean.
@Trey Stephens and be cute
@@kyledeguzman5196 true but most shark attacks happen in what he swam in murky dark water Bec they can’t see that great in murky dark waters they can see better in the clear water I feel bad for sharks Bec there a misunderstood animal they have a bad reputation of killing people and kids on purpose when they don’t rlly try to it’s they couldn’t see good and they think it’s part of what they normally eat like a seal or big fish I just feel bad for them Bec they aren’t all bad like he shown the one wasn’t mean to him or aggressive more it was just chilling doing what he wanted and eating not minding or caring even tho he is wild sharks are a wonderful animal and cool animal and badass and scary looking but there not all aggressive to humans but yes there have been shark attacks on purpose I can’t say there isn’t Bec if I did I would be lieing but even bears have killed on purpose and on accident every animal has killed on purpose or on accident or out of self defense for themselves if being hunted or something and protecting there young like for bears more bear attacks commonly happen when a mother bear has Cubs Bec there more protective and aggressive to humans and adult male bears I’ve seen it on a documentary big adult male comes to close to mother bear with two Cubs and she attacks him and they get in a bear fight and he ends up running away and finds another place to stay I just think every animal is midsunderstood in some way you know what I’m saying like for pitbulls not every pitbull is bad if raised properly and right and treated with the respect every animal and human should be treated with I feel bad for all animals and there bad reputations Bec just Bec ya some great white sharks killed people on purpose a few times doesn’t mean the whole great white shark family is all monsters like us humans just Bec of our history and the white people owning slaves doesn’t mean all whites are bad people just Bec our ancestors did doesn’t mean where all bad Bec we didn’t own slaves I didn’t my parents didn’t and neither did there’s but some people just don’t see it that way and say because of what u did what ur ancestors did ur guilty no we aren’t guilty we never owned slaves so why do we get punished just like great whites just Bec of what there ancestors and what some other great whites kill a few people on purpose doesn’t give us the right to condemn them all and be ur all monsters every shark is a monster now Bec of what a few sharks did no we shouldn’t have that right are sharks dangerous and unpredictable yes just like humans we are dangerous and unpredictable at times hence the reason why there’s murders in jail every human every animal is dangerous and unpredictable in it’s own way weather we see it or ignore it it’s right there infront of us so I feel bad for every animal Bec of there bad reputations not that every animal has a bad reputation just for the ones that do I feel bad for them because there misunderstood Because we are blind to the truth of them being misunderstood
@@kyledeguzman5196 Those sharks are more interested in that whale than in the human.
@Trey Stephens yeah go in the water with your son or daughter and say to them "they just wanna eat", it won't get you any gifts except a bite or dead
The idea of great white sharks have manners and self control compared to smaller sharks is the most tickling thing I have heard all year.
Yet they do, and get pretty wise as they age too.
Yeah, those sharks are WAY smarter than what people give them credit. One time I was with a friend and we were about to go scuba diving with a great white that we frequently dove with, around 5 km off the shore. While we were suiting up, we noticed that she was circling our speedboat as if trying to get our attention. She had never done this before, and we decided to hurry and dive down to see what was wrong. And as soon as the both of us hit the water, she got up on our speedboat and rode off. Those bastards are cunning, you never know when they're gonna do you dirty.
@@johnlecavalier6199 you had never in the first half ngl
The "self control" cause they see us as this skinny animal that isn't worth the calorie chasing down......
@@kintokisa pretty much, but it still a funny thought.
Sharks are brave to be with this guy in the water.
South African Great Whites are by far the best mannered and polite of all sharks. Credit goes to their parents.
and ending apartheid
Quite the opposite is true.. they seem to be the biggest sharks and they breach
They have good table manners
We raised them well and pull off their breaching tactic exactly as instructed. 🤣😂
Shark: "Aren't you going to eat too, buddy??"
I thought the Russians had balls having picnics next to wild bears, but this guy went to a shark picnic and head butts a great white and laughs about it. Legendary and stories should be told about this man of men for generations.
I didn’t see the headbutt
@@MK-ib4dp nobody did, he just told us that happened when he first dived in blind in murky water .
Aye to that my friend!

Welcome to South Africa
"I didn't take a spear gun I just had my go pro"
For starters you got those massive balls of steel to protect you
... or a death wish...
From what I've seen in shark videos a sharks kryptonite is a boop to the snoot because that's basically their radar and you'd be scrambling it by booping with your hand and they'll just move in the opposite direction.
It’s a wonder he didn’t sink with such big balls of steel! 😂
All he needed was a camera anyway
I try to imagine him being like that Hammer vehicle in the old Nintendo game B-Wings with the two cannonball thingies orbiting and forming a protective barrier!
Shark : Meat
Human: Headbutt
Shark: And I wasn't prepared for that move.
Sharks are relatively harmless. Most shark attacks are a result of mistaken identity, thinking you're food when you start to panic and thrash around like you know, prey. 90% of people bitten by a shark will be let go the second they realize the mistake and pretty much every death has been a result of bleeding out. Shark wasn't trying to hurt you but they don't have hands to interact with their environment so they use what they do have, which unfortunately for people just happens to be full of razer sharp teeth.
Sharks kill on average about 3 people a year. You're more likely to get killed by a cow than a shark. Yet we kill millions of them every year. Most shark species have had 70-99% of their species killed off by humans and many will definitely go extinct. We waaaaaaaaaay overreacted to Jaws because before that movie we knew sharks were pretty much harmless.
These comparisions are so fucking dumb. Saying cows, vending machines, elevators etc. kill more humans than sharks is straight retarded.
How many times a year does humans interact with cows, tens of millions? Vending machines, billions? And how many do you think interact with a great white, 4 digits?
@@TristanSune ok, you wanna go that way. Over twice as many people die a year from fireworks on the Fourth of July every year than sharks. People die from falling out of bed 150 times more than people who get killed by sharks every year. People are killed by champagne corks eight times as often. More people get killed by their own lawnmowers. Specifically in the state of Minnesota, more people die per year by falling through ice into a lake. Over 200 times as many people die from being tazered. Around 3 people are killed by sharks annually while around 1000 people annually die from autoerotic asphyxiation, or strangling or suffocating oneself to heighten sexual arousal or orgasm. Sharks aren’t dangerous. Being afraid of sleeping on a small bed would be more rational than being afraid to swim in the ocean because a shark might get you. They don’t hunt humans, when people get killed by sharks it’s usually because they bleed out or the wound gets infected. People need to realize this and stop killing sharks, they’re an extremely important part of the ecosystem almost everywhere in the ocean.
@@TristanSune a better way to think about it may be be how many people go into the ocean vs being killed by a shark? You have a better chance of being struck by lightning.
Lol, "they are just testing if ur food, they dont kill you... You just die from bleeding out" lol, sounds awfull, would be better to just get head ripped of by the shark than laying there with a huge wound and slowly bleed out.
Ofc few people get killed by shark, few people are staying close to them....
Every predator got killer instinct, you should respect them all. A bear might eat berries 350 days a year, but he might as well slay 50 sheeps in a go just for fun/training.
A man lived like 10 years with a bear family, suddenly the bear ate him and his gf alive. Probarly felt him and his bear kid needed some food.
And yes, they found audio record of it, both him and his gf did not seem to love the action of the bear. Beeing eaten alive, meanwhile bones crush in the mouth of a strong animal gotta hurt like hell...
People trusts animals way to much, huge numbers of people get killed by dogs, espesially kids. Think how grusome that is..
A farmer can Pet his cows for 30 year, then suddenly a cow squeeze him to death...
Animals CAN be dangerous for you, everything else is a Lie.
@@gel87Kjetil doesn’t mean it’s likely at all. If you wanna go by that logic you should piss yourself every time your dog walks into the same rooms as you because it might fucking kill you and your entire family. Literally every animal you named there is much more aggressive and more likely to attack a human than a shark is. They only kill around 3 people per year. Also if you get attacked, chances are you’re gonna survive. Only around 1 in 30 people who are bitten are killed from a shark bite.
I don’t know why you people want sharks to be so dangerous. Just accept that they aren’t.
It's like that moment in jurassic park where the t rex scares off all of the raptors away and inadvertently saves the humans.
You mean eats them, the small sharks were lucky compared to what happened to the raptors.
Except this guy wasn’t there to slap the T-Rex in the face and tell it to mind itself, where upon the T-Rex would respond with “Oh I didn’t know it was like that man.” And politely goes back into its holding area.
@Kike gaming. I mean, mentally they would be close to Roosters right? I don’t think so, then. Rooster can be vicious as anything and don’t generally back down from a bop to the beak.
You gotta stand for your fam .

This footage is probably too gnarly for National Geographic, but this is some of the best shark feeding footage I've ever seen. Did any of them react negatively to being touched by you? You've got all your limbs attached so I'm going to assume not.
He said they were trying to bite them but he hitting them away with his go pro and knees
@@lauralishes1 the ones who tried to bite were the smaller ones, not the ones he touched later
And discovery channel wouldn't play it without making it so much more dramatic than actually was, discovery channel loves to make sharks out to be these cold blooded monsters, which they aren't they're just animals

Tiger Sharks are more dangerous to humans than Great Whites.
@@_YourFlyIsOpen and vending machines are more dangerous than both combined.
@@unknownplite Dumb comment. Would you rather walk by a vending machine or swim with Tiger Sharks?
@@_YourFlyIsOpen swim with tiger sharks. They’re cool, vending machines just sit there. I’m not saying you should be scared of vending machines. If that’s really what you got out of that you’re one stupid guy.

This man's 2020 was far more entertaining then rest of us ...he's out there swimming with tiger sharks and head-butting great whites while we were staying home he's living life at his fullest God Bless man
I always loved how great whites always look battle scarred and worn down but still 100% functional. They are probably imo the most aesthetically cool looking sharks I'm aware of.
They’re a species that knows how to pick their battles, and yet pick the tough ones anyway because they know they can take it lol.
If absolute strength, of the body, mind, and will, was an animal, this’d be it- an absolute machine, yet far from cold hearted

Man tried his whole life to ride on a fin of a dolphin.
Never being able to fulfill that dream, he got his ride on the fin of a great white.
Sounds legit.
Really goes to show you how much your behavior influences nature. Act like prey you are prey. Act like some crazy dude with a camera and your fine. Have to have elephant size balls to not panic in that situation. Legendary
I wish my life had more quotes like "So anyway, I didn't die."

Dolphins used to be the hero to a shark's villainy but now sharks are just bros while dolphins are rap*sts.

I came for the shark footage and stayed for the great personal stories and insight this guy has. What an interesting and admirable person!
I am new to scuba diving and on my 8th ever dive a few weeks ago, noticed a white shark in the water with our scuba group, off the Sunshine Coast in Australia. It hung back at the edge of the visibility, but its tail shape and vibe was recognisable. I didn't feel as afraid as I thought I would, and now I am watching lots of videos trying to understand these fascinating creatures.
I love watching shark videos like this. Sharks are my favorite animals in this world
Holding onto the dorsal fin and riding the great white has to be one of the most amazing things ever caught on film in the wild with an animal. Not only do you have to be extremely brave and a tad crazy. You have to be able to stay calm and cool with all those other sharks around. This is just insane. His laugh is awesome also 😂
Explaining that the other divers were swimming out of his way...
Is that ethical?
@@BrightnessAndShadowHolding onto the dorsal fin? He was very gentle. I think it was. If it didn't like it, felt threatened, or cantankerous, I think he'd have known. The man was playing with fire and didn't get burned; I assume it was safe. He's also a professional diver who was very careful to bravely swim around these animals without harming them. They could've used more invasive and violent methods to scatter the sharks
@@GG256_ So you acknowledge that he was engaging in a potentially dangerous activity?
He was holding the dorsal of a tiger shark.
This video is cobbled together with actual feeding footage from a dead whale
Fun fact: He actually had to take two boats to get to this location, because he couldn't make it through the airport checkpoints with those balls of steel
Oh a ball joke, never heard one of those before 😴
Ah yes, the airport where I go to catch a boat ride
@@lauralishes1 Stop replying to each balls joke, if you don't wanna see them, don't go into the comments. Common sense, and if you don't have that in you, are you a Neanderthal or a Chimpanzee?

@Better Mouztrap no need to be so hostile, there is no true history anymore because everyone has had their time changing it to fit their views. If you think that white people are bad or all whites are guilty or should pay for the past your the real problem then. I'm white and I have to work my lower class job hard to make a living. I'm not just given things, I earn them.
I'm an island born and raised baby and I think that on the water is the best place to raise children. You have a healthy relationship with the ocean and I wish every city and country kid got to experience snorkeling and watching sealife .it's so calming.
Basically every Australian
I was raised in a "forest country" and i would say the same about forest. :) I've always been attracted to the sea lifestyle though, i wanted to be a marine biologist as a kid because i imagined myself snorkeling in turquoise water with a white sandy bottom. I thought that's what they do. 😂 But i get my relaxation from a walk in a forest, it's magical too.
Fuck that I rather have a dog
@@iammidas1616 yeah get that & leave ocean to the islanders they know how to navigate on the ocean 🌊
Wow y’all are lucky. I live in a concrete jungle called New York Shitty.
The great white coincidently turning right when the man was filming was like "Sir, can I enjoy my dinner without you being in my face?"
🤣🤣
I’m so glad the guy tells you exactly how to do what he’s done so you can try this next time you find a whale carcass surrounded by sharks 👌

"I wasn't thinking". Most accurate comment made.
Yeah pretty crazy but if you think about it sharks aren't stupid and know their is endless supply of food on whale so you would just be more of a nuisance than target......still territory can come into play and love bite warning you can be catastrophic.....but it really does point out they know what food they want and can decipher it......white shark really wanted nothing to do with him
Stay close as you can to biggest white shark for protection which sounds odd but makes sense in that scenario
Sharks are extremely territorial and they have been observed enforcing a strict pecking order around similar sites. It was not intentional on the great whites part that the diver was protected, but rather the great white telling the smaller sharks that it was the top dog and the pups needed to wait their turn at the whale.
Makes sense
@@megastoejoe this shark now thinking that this man is boldest predator that it ever met

Solid proof that sharks don't give a shit about humans
Not really. The dusky sharks seemed to want a piece of him. Large Great Whites and Tiger sharks don't seem to give a shit about humans when there is a 1000 pounds of whale meat in the proximity.
I loved listening to this passionate, experienced but lighthearted gentleman🙏🏼🦈❤️
"The Duskys, I don't like them, especially after they tried to eat me at first."

He wasn’t “lucky to be alive” though... it wasn’t a life or death situation at all. You say “lucky to be alive” when someone is injured and survives.
@@TheBaBaTV
Yeah
sharks dont even kill you themselves, most of the time, if you're panicking they will feel curious and get to you. of course, when checking you they use their mouth and bite you, then realize they did smth wrong and go away since you're not a prey. most of the deaths are by bleeding out from the bite, but if you're calm you shouldnt really worry about your limbs being detached mostly lol.
Mosquitoes kill more people every day than sharks have in the past 100 years. You’re more likely to be killed by your own dog than you are by a shark even if you swim in the ocean every day. Sharks are incredibly misunderstood.
This man was like "Yo bro, mind giving me a ride?"
The shark: "Buddy, just don't touch my food and we're good."
I can tell this man always looks on the brighter side of life 👍

This shark is hella brave to be chilling with him
Sharks aren't afraid of humans they're mostly curious at the time they mostly try to interact with them and know more about them there are two things that sharks are afraid of killer whales and dolphins sharks are one of the most successful predators on the planet even though some sharks have small brains but they're still intelligent enough to recognize the identity of a human between a dolphin or a killer whale they're also smart enough to be trained like dogs even though they aren't so technically they're just curious
@@acedwayne7936 it was a joke
@@acedwayne7936 r/whooooosh
The shark probably still thinks about the little guy he took around the whale on his dorsal fi, didn't want his new buddy to get eat.
South Africans, (especially around the cape) have massive balls. It's not an ego thing, they've just been raised that way. Many surfers go out to dungeons, Hout bay and Port St John's which are full of great whites with very little concern.

Great editing as well! A+++Double Plus!
its crazy how the smaller sharks were testing out to see if he was prey or a threat to their food, and then when the white came in they all backed off. the white knew he could take him lmao he didnt bother cause he knew the guy wasn't a threat and there was easy prey right in front of him
Apex predators often recognise other apex predators and white sharks are also quite intelligent. White sharks rarely attack humans and I’m pretty sure that’s due to that they know we’re dangerous and due to that we probably don’t taste the best. It’s the same with Orcas, they know that they’ll be better off by being our friends than enemy.
@@plutopingvin454 doesn’t make much sense, a shark doesn’t know that it’s looking at a human when it see’s one and although we kill sharks in the thousands, I doubt a random shark encountering a diver would be able to deduce that
@Melon Sauce Well considering the fact that there's a lot evidence supporting the idea that sharks aren't overtly aggressive towards humans that would suggest that they don't realise they're being hunted en mass by us. Or do you really think sharks are cool with us in the water because they think to themselves 'hang on, these are humans. They are apex predators. I'm just gonna keep my distance'. Sharks do not fear us, especially when we're in the water with them. We're just not on the menu.

I've swum in open water with Great Whites, they are graceful and elegant, you've just got to be aware all the time you're in their sea and they are apex predators, I've ridden on their dorsal fins and even scratched their bellies. To me they are the most beautiful creatures in the oceans!
Thanks for that. I always have been puzzled at how often a shark cage is deployed to film and study Great Whites. It is not needed. Like you said, if you know what you are doing they can be harmless. Whites really only attack humans at the surface of the water, and it almost always is because a persons sillouhette looks exactly like a seal from down below. They will bite once and let go when they realize their mistake. Unfortunately a single bite from a 20 foot two thousand pound shark can be pretty devastating to a two hundred pound human. Recently I am seeing more and more video footage of divers interacting with Great Whites and not using the protective cages. proving that they are not the agressive killers that the media has made them out to be.
Swum?
Swimming while you’re chum.
Metal in the water actually makes shark senses go haywire, so it would make sense that they would be much calmer without the cage around the diver.
@@DaWhiteWolffie That's good to know. Do Oxygen tanks also make them go haywire?
Do you know something...I watch every shark video especially great white and this must be one of the most interesting, best footage and full video of big sharks, thank you but more please xx
Sharks as fascinating animals :)
Outstanding footage !
What an amazing attitude...and laugh ❤
Shark was like, 'I'm not interested in you. I got bigger fish to fry.'
6:15 - incredible footage. Shows the power of the shark. 4m of pure muscle.
6:40 "But anyway...I didn't die"
This guy laughs in the face of death
You sir have balls
That man is awesome, and I love his laughter. I would have went into cardiac arrest!
This bloke is bonkers. Next level bonkers in fact.
Should see the research diving teams,tagging..
If sharks escape path is facing one they abort shot to tag.
These three get in with multi whites, wild ones that never seen divers before..
What a dreary job,best get the big bucks
even sharks know you dont fuck with crazy.
This guy is absolutely awesome! What a fantastic sense of humor .... Comes across as such a genuine human being! His honesty as he tells these anecdotes is so refreshing. Thank you for the share..
I love the shark appreciation. They deserve to be appreciated more. :(
The amount he laughs, often when there isn't a joke, indicates him having a nervous disposition when having any conversations, probably off camera as well.
That is interesting considering his confidence with massive sharks that'll kill you in literally a second.
Goes to show that people can be very confident, but maybe not in every way and possibly not in a way many would define confidence, so don't let your initial judgement of someone make you think you know that person's entire personality.
This guys an absolute hero. Only in south Africa are people this chill about being in a near death experience i swear.
The way i hear it, the shark infested waters are heaps safer than on land in South Africa. I used to work with a South African who was shot in the head and left for dead. He was later found by his parents in a pool of blood.
mate every day you spend living in south africa is a near death experience
That white looked at him like the jock looking at a nerd sit next to them at lunch
Lol
More like the jock beating the shit out the other jocks picking on the nerd lol
I think it's absolutely amazing, the shark didn't care the guy was holding onto his fin..so awesome!❤🇺🇸
Ah, the Great White Australian in it's natural habitat, mingling with sharks.
'but anyway I didn't die' - Understatement of the year right there !!
I'd have to say this is the best footage I've seen in regards to free diving with sharks and a dead whale. Not to mention the accent kicks oss and dude's got a great attitude. More!!!
This footage is far superior than discovery has or ever will produce.
Mans holdin the Shark fin.. Catchin a Ride like its a Tiger Shark Uber.... 😎😰😨😎
Man legit rides a great white just to record it eating
absolutely insane this footage deserves millions of views .. you where there, in the pecking order, the sharks where eating as if they invited you in for dinner .. into their own homes, what an amazing treat to see this in action.. thank you so much for your efforts, you are crazy ..
That great white saved your a#$. Sharks are so smart. Thank goodness it let you hold onto its top fin to swim and get amazing close footage of the feeding!
This is beautiful, I love how peaceful the white shark is. It could easily kill him, but it doesn't, which should give sharks a better rep. They're beautiful, majestic creatures that should be respected, and this shark shows great whites can be peaceful creatures. I love this footage, too
Great whites are not "peaceful", just as they are not evil. They are not inherently one or the other. They're simply the result of pure instinctual drive and millions of years of evolutionary trial and error. "Peaceful" is purely a human trait, and it is not wise to anthropomorphize wild animals.
A few years ago, a surfer in West Australia was killed in an unprovoked attack when he was literally ripped apart by 2 great whites working in randem. All that was recovered was the guy's head and one shoulder. Where was that "peaceful" nature of the great whites that you blab on about, then? 🤔
