They look so peaceful and calm when being filmed without them noticing. Most nature documentarys film them after they are baited in with chum, only showing them hectic and furoucious looking. I loved seeing them just minding their own business and them messing around with kelp was super cute ^^
Your footage has really helped me understand why shark attacks are considered “rare”. Not because they’re hardly around when you swim in the ocean, but because they hardly care about you.
Glad I could help. Yes, sharks, no matter what size, in my observations, are "indifferent" to humans. That doesn't mean they can't be dangerous, but it takes a bit of rationality and nuance to understand them. Thanks for commenting!
Yes, but then when you have the Simon Nellist and the Popov kid from Hurghada incidents its no wonder at all why there is good reason to fear them also. What a terrible way to die.
Its so refreshing to see sharks in something thats not just showing them as killers. Even seeing people and sharks in the same area, just checking each other out. I loved it!!🦈
Yeah I agree 100% with you. it’s nice to not see those monsters on film killing everything in sight for once. Hard to get footage of them without them attacking surfers and other beach goers. Although they did a good job, they still couldn’t show them not ripping apart that little stingray and attacking another shark. What freaking terrorizing monsters these things are. Always attacking and ripping things apart, even kelp or birds. Straight psycopaths. I think we all agree and support shark fishing. Especially great whites. Makes me feel safer that there are less monsters terrorizing everything out there.
I know! I also enjoy seeing humans peacefully interacting eith predators. Would be really cool to see some footage of people just hanging out next to a tiger or lion, or a pack of wolves.

I have a big fear of the ocean, and sharks are probably a part of that phobia, but I have to admit they are truly majestic creatures. The way they casually coast through the waters, even with people near by, is so peaceful.
The ending actually got me emotional. Sharks are amongst the animals that are so often rather portrayed as monsters and when i get to see them be themselves it makes me happy
@hatzistu Exactly, these people are crazy. Sharks don't attack people. There are misidentification and curious test bites rarely, but it's accidental. Great whites are pretty much big puppy dogs of the sea and Malibu artist has proven it. There has never been a case of a great white or any shark just scoping out a human, attacking that human and then predating that human. Unfortunately, a lot of people are bite from a mistake but then they pass away because the shark has such a powerful bite. If you are in decently clear water and it's easy to tell you're not a seal you will never be accidentally bitten. Ocean Ramsey has shown that and you can even get up close and pet huge Great White sharks. Zero danger if the water is clear.
@@kurtdavis7588 God you tree huggers are dumb. Comparing a great white shark to a dog, a puppy even, is like comparing a hummingbird to an attack helicopter. Go read about the poor unfortunate soul who was violently killed by one of these sharks a couple of days ago. It's gruesome and disgusting. Sharks are portrayed as monsters because they are monsters. At least we have Orcas out there to trim down the shark population. One human life is worth more than every single great white shark on the planet.

I was scuba diving through the kelp forests off of Catalina one day when I came to a clearing and right down below me was a mighty shark, I would guess maybe a 1 1/2 foot horn shark. It was terrifying.
@@mylifefornickI can understand that partially, because humans are fascinated by the strength and speed of predators since the stoneage. So the TV does what gives them the views. Where it becomes problematic is when the sharks are just depicted as mindless killers instead of explaining how the encounter could have happened and how to avoid something like this in the future.
I'd never swim in the ocean and I'd be scared to hell knowing they could swim under me BUT I still respect them and recognise the importance of these beautiful creatures in the circle of life. Beautiful footage and beautiful words!🩷

This video showed up in my recommended, and I'm so glad it did. I absolutely love sharks. Your footage is so stunning and your voice is so nice to listen to. Keep up the great work!
You CANNOT stop filming things like this. This is an Amazing video. The fisher giving you the thumbs up was awesome. He knew thanks to you and he was calm, never panicked and if more humans had that same reaction i believe we all would have more appreciation and respect for this ocean. We are swimming through their homes. They are amazing creatures.
They will shred you apart in a moment's notice. Their minds are dumb as a dufus, they react mechanically at the most basic and random "eating time" stimuli.
This is, hands down, the best video of sharks I have seen this year. The footage is incredible. This shows their beauty and how serene and graceful they really are. Just to watch them playing. They're not the mindless killing machines that they have been made out to be. They can control how hard they bite. They just want us to leave their home and space. People need to respect them.
Sharks playing with the kelp is just like cats playing with a ball of yarn!! Fascinating! This video is awesome and shows so much of how sharks really are when they are not hunting. Two thumbs up 😊👍👍
Very beautiful footage, and I have a feeling those surfers and swimmers weren’t all that afraid of them since they know that Great Whites almost never attack people. It’s the Bull sharks you have to watch out for.
Tell that to Simon Nellist and the other GW attacks recently in which they completely ate the people or ate limbs. Go ahead and put your trust in them all you want.
I have to hand it to you. Videos like this really help people understand Great White Sharks. The work you are doing here is a beautiful thing. Thank you.
In early November, I was swimming with a friend about 300 meters offshore at Del Mar, California. A young white shark bumped my friend and then bit her in the thigh. The bite was not life threatening, but the puncture wounds were deep (up to 4 cm) and a couple were quite close to her femoral artery - it could have easily been much worse. I appreciate your excellent videos; I had watched them before this encounter, and I continue to do so. By showing these videos you show the whole picture - sharks in their environment. Your videos help destigmatize the white shark from its image of simply one of viciousness and horror. This is good. These sharks are an important part of healthy oceans, and they need to be respected as such. With regard to your videos of young white sharks near humans in the water, these help dispel the myth that sharks will invariably attack, and again help put this shark in a more appropriate context. However, we need to be aware that white sharks don’t have to be in attack mode to be dangerous to humans in the water. We don’t know why we were apparently ambushed and my swim buddy was bitten, but it may not have been due to aggressive behavior. It could have been defensive behavior (perhaps we were just too close - the water was murky, so we didn’t see the shark until it made its presence known). Or it could have been curiosity: many animals, especially young animals, investigate their surroundings by using their mouth; even children do this, and yet they are equipped with sensitive hands. In some of your videos, as you have noted, it appears that a white shark might just have been checking something out (such as floating trash) - with a bite.
Thank you for your insight and thoughts. I hope that your friend is recovering well. I understand that these young great white sharks stay in specific areas that change from time to time. Maybe Malibu Artist could tell us where these aggregations are in California, so that we could swim elsewhere!
@@evagonzales5349 Thank you. There is a research group at Cal State Long Beach, studying white sharks. They have found that the area from Del Mar down to just south of Blacks beach is a current spot where there are around 120 young white sharks. So, most of us now swim further north or south of this area of coastline. We are happy to let them have this area, undisturbed by swimmers :)
300m offshore? 😳 It's incredible that your friend was able to swim back to shore after being bitten by a GW. I hope she is recovering well.🙏🏊 thanks for sharing the story.
As a life-long lover of great white sharks, I so appreciate what you and others like Scott Fairchild in San Diego are doing to bring these incredible images to us. Thank you so much!
It's not so funny when they tear your mother limb from limb just metres away from you. No idea why people are happy to be in water with a super predator, sure 99% of the time they won't touch you, but you never know when they'll decide to go off and DESTROY your body
Will calmly and serenly shred you to pieces like a meatgrinder only faster but calmly and serenly. Totally not dufus brain machine like minded apex predators.
I was stationed on Pendleton until 2016. I’m back on the east coast now but I’ve been following your channel for years and it always brings me back. While I was still out there, I went cage-diving at Guadalupe to see the great whites. Mindblowing experience
The views that the inception of drones has allowed us is nothing short of absolutely incredible. And not just over the seas. It’s allowed us to see things like african painted dog hunt’s where usually we could only see parts of the hunts as they often cover great distances but with drones we can see the whole hunt from start to finish from the air. It’s amazing.
I’m deadly afraid of sharks, but I begin to understand the effect that Hollywood movies and unnuanced ‘rumors’ of sharks have had of effect on my fear. Seeing videos like this one helps me reframe my fear and understanding of sharks. Thank you - keep up the good work!!! ❤
It isn't unhealthy to be afraid of sharks. It is impossible to truly know if one will attack you. That being said, they are not movie monsters, they are just animals. They don't deserve to be killed. Thank you for being open minded :)
Your fear should NOT be reframed at all. If you are in close vicinity to a great white shark, immediately vacate the water. They deserve their respect.
The butterfly and the shark!! It took my breath away. One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my life. I love your narrative. Thank you for this! 🙏
I said I wasn't going to cry ... well, I can't help it. They are so majestic and your videos capture what we would normally never see. Wishing you the happiest of New Years. Thank you for all you do.
Absolutely loved your video. Can really feel the passion you have for these creatures, which really displays their beauty in the right light - not the conventional ways of today. Beautiful!
I love that you are showing sharks as beautiful, intelligent creatures and not as terrifying, mindless killers! Thank you. That was a wonderfully done and well narrated video! 👍👍
You sir, are the Jacques Cousteau of great white sharks. I can only hope you continue your amazing work for years to come. Their uniqueness has always captivated me and continues to do so to this day. Thank you for sharing your incredible work and insight.
A fantastic video to end 2022, narrated beautifully, and giving us a real look into the lives of these fantastic creatures, and hopefully allowing us to give them a bit more respect.
Thank you, MalibuArtist for the beautiful footage! I appreciated the narration and facts I've learned from watching your channel! Drones certainly have changed how we see things! Happy New Year and thanks again!
I’ve always been terrified of sharks. Still am. I guess more just open water than anything. But man there’s no denying that this was an incredible video. Seriously had me in tears at one point. Thank you for this. This was amazing.
this just helps prove how uninterested in humans sharks are. this type of thing (close encounters by unaware humans) happens thousands of times a day across the world, and yet how many shark attacks occur?
@@pepedeltoro6647 yes, bears kill people too. so do mountain lions, and wolves. Hippos kill people too, and alligators. Did you know Zebras are one of the most deadly zoo animals? Elephants kill people too. But you know what kills more people than all of those combined? other humans. Heck even car accidents kill more people. But you take those chances every single day. You're more likely to die of a natural disaster than a shark. But teeth are scary, the idea of being food for something else is irrationally terrifying, i get it. But talking about the odds while taking far higher risks many times over every single day is not logical.
logical? odds? wild animals? natural disasters? I dont live in Africa or swim in the ocean..so. my odds are logistically 0% of anytime of attack. i also dont live near any natural disaster areas, so thats another 0%..I'm not the only 1 either, so, statically speaking, none of that makes 0sense. before, I replied I tried looked up dying by a natural disaster to dying by a shark attack.. that is a ridiculous comparison 😂, there's nothing comparing the 2. I won't even get into the details of that 😂 it makes 0sense.
This video just brought back a small shred of hope for me, that not all humans have turned away or stopped caring about the beauty and importance of all natural things, even the predators people usually fear. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for caring about these beautiful magnificent creatures! I may be crying now but it's a good cry, one of hope for the natural world 🖤💗🥹
This video was so beautifully done! It's the level of respect you show to the sharks that really drew me in. You show them as they are the majority of the time, just existing in their world. I'm not afraid of sharks exactly, but I definitely acknowledge the respect they deserve when we're visiting their home! Keep it up!!
So beautiful. My father taught me to appreciate all creatures, including predators…unusual in the 50s and 60s where sharks are concerned. When he fished he always had a very long rope for the fish he caught. He told me that he did it for his safety and to prevent a shark hunt, which on the Gulf Coast always meant a frenzy of shark killing.
****IMPORTANT **** That was a beautiful video and well put together. Thank you for all the hard work and the TIME of editing. A LOT OF PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH WORK / TIME GOES Just IN EDITING. I would love for you to catch a moment when orcas and great whites are around each other !!! And if you already have the shots, please send the link in the comments. Thank you.
This footage will not make it easier for me when I go to enjoy the sea waters, but thank you so much for it and the message you are sending across about these creatures 🙌🙌
Back here, once again, In 2024. Your footage is truly breathtaking. I’ve been a great white lover since i was a wee one. While all the other kids perused to youth section of the library, you could always find me in the mammal/fish section, educating myself on the most interesting topic of great whites (specifically). Thank you for your (modern) contribution ♥️
This is beautiful. We are so lucky to live in this earth and share our so short lifespan on this existence surrounded by such magnificient creatures and landscapes
Wow beautifully filmed and narrated. Some of the best filming I've ever seen. Great drone control. I love sharks and hate the way the media portray them. As your drone alerted people on the water to a shark near by , perhaps these drones could be used with a warning sound and make the water a safer place for all .Many thanks Paul x
I spent a lot of time on Lanzarote (Canary Islands). I'm not a diving guy, but had the pleasure to meet with sraks two times. Once on Fuerteventure - went to the beach, but it was closed due to smaller sharks (probably young blue sharks) coming to the shore. I took a few pictures, they were about 100-120 cm long and 3-4 meters away from me. The second time was even more fascinating as it was the first time a rented a smaller boat to sail the waters alone. Got a tip about a place where dolphins are spotted fairly often but instead of dolphins I managed to see a whale shark near the surface. After that I visited a fish farm where I spotted a larger shark - either a great white or a tiger, the size would fit them booth but it seemed it had a few faint stripes. Fun fact: a friend of mine bought her first villa there in the 90s and spent a feew weeks or months a year there. She swam everywhere, got in the water everywhere. Never knew that there are sharks near the islands, she was terrified when I told her about the closed beach :D
When i was a little girl in Southern California, my dad used to paddle out with me laying on his back with my arms around his buff neck and shoulders. He talked to me about sharks and told me they were his ocean friends and i didnt need to be afraid of them while surfing. Thank you for bringing me some wholesome memories and for the beautiful video
This is really cool. Beautifully done. I enjoyed it the entire way through. The commentary, choice of words, tone of your voice and the soundtrack made it a work of art.
Wow. it`s been a longtime since I saw an entire youtube video without skipping. I was stressed editing and just happened to turn this on. This is in my opinion the best video on this platform. I love how you potray these majestic creatures in a positive light. Thank you for producing and sharing this.
I’m terrified of sharks and won’t go in the water but I luv your videos. They very beautiful and educational and I always look forward to watching them. They r fascinating animals. Thank u for highlighting their behavior and sharing it. Keep up the great work!
Amazing ! Beautiful footage ..so glad I came across your channel!! I have loved and respected sharks since a young age thank you for encouraging others to show they are not always vicious and showing how wonderful they are ❤
I absolutely love your channel! The peace & Beauty it brings ❤️ The fact that you don’t show the poor sea lions and seals being eaten by sharks is so refreshing. I can’t take watching that over and over in all the shark videos. Thank you for your beautiful work
I've been infatuated with gw sharks for ~36 years, this is the most intuitive and educational footage I have ever seen, no baiting no wrangling no hype, just specimens behaving naturally excellent work OP thankyou!
Such beautiful images and words... Loved it. Made me tear up. Thanks for all the love and respect towards nature. Sharks are amazing, animals are amazing, nature is amazing. We have to protect it and cherish our world, such a gift we received.
Such neat fish. They just drift so calmly and methodically. It's also neat to see how varied their routines are. They're almost like underwater bears, foraging and occasionally flexing in front of others.
That was so beautiful 🤩 Thank you for this footage and the story you told with it! It was nice watching sharks be silly with kelp! They always paint them as dangerous beasts, it's good to see them just as normal part of life! 🌊🦈
This is just beautiful and you have captured the natural Great White. Seeing them interact with other sea animals and birds is too cool and amazing. It makes them a lot more than killers. 😊
They are just beautiful to watch. To see their soft movements through the water. It is freedom, freedom that we humans will never experience. Just breathtaking footage! But, I won’t being swimming with them 🎉 Happy New Year 🎉😊
I absolutely love sharks. I’ve had a strong fascination with them since I was a kid. That said, the footage of the swimmer swimming with the shark just years away from him gave me chills. It conjures up the Simon Nellist attack. While attacks are rare, they do happen. So willingly going in again after you told him the Great White was in there is just dumb to me. I’d hate for the shark to be curious about me and take a nibble, because their nibbles remove limbs or tear out flesh wide open with ease. I’ll gladly admire them from the shore. 😂
They look so peaceful and calm when being filmed without them noticing.
Most nature documentarys film them after they are baited in with chum, only showing them hectic and furoucious looking.
I loved seeing them just minding their own business and them messing around with kelp was super cute ^^

Though you can see some of them tilting sideways to look at the drone when it's a bit closer to the waters surface.
Very curious creatures.

I was scuba diving through the kelp forests off of Catalina one day when I came to a clearing and right down below me was a mighty shark, I would guess maybe a 1 1/2 foot horn shark. It was terrifying.
THIS is what should be playing during shark week. Beautiful footage mate, looking forward to seeing more
I bet your one of this putrid hippy greenies who who rather a human die to save a putrid shark
@@JulioAragao-nr5esif u call this boring u have to be stupid 😅
Right? They focus so much on shark attacks.
So true!!!
@@mylifefornickI can understand that partially, because humans are fascinated by the strength and speed of predators since the stoneage. So the TV does what gives them the views. Where it becomes problematic is when the sharks are just depicted as mindless killers instead of explaining how the encounter could have happened and how to avoid something like this in the future.
I'd never swim in the ocean and I'd be scared to hell knowing they could swim under me BUT I still respect them and recognise the importance of these beautiful creatures in the circle of life.
Beautiful footage and beautiful words!🩷
This might be the most beautiful content about sharks that I've ever seen. It actually made me cry. Thank you for sharing it with the world.
I really hope there is a trend to peaceful coexistence with sharks. Very inspiring and positive. Much appreciated!

First of all, the footage is absolutely amazing. Secondly, how the hell are people so calm around these apex predators?!
Absolutely beautiful but still very dangerous!
Simply, most of them don’t realise a shark is near
Sharks usually don't attack people.
@@BlameNate Usually is good enough reason for me not to swim with one.
@@SephirotHeReyeah he actually was. There are roughly 5 deaths per year caused by sharks, so it really is an exception
This video showed up in my recommended, and I'm so glad it did. I absolutely love sharks. Your footage is so stunning and your voice is so nice to listen to. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!!
@@TheMalibuArtist Thank you.. Stunning footage.
Simply stunning footage. Thanks for everything you’ve shared with us all this year. Looking forward to more in 2023😊
almost certainly the most majestic white shark footage every captured. truly a pleasure to watch, and thank you for sharing!
You CANNOT stop filming things like this. This is an Amazing video. The fisher giving you the thumbs up was awesome. He knew thanks to you and he was calm, never panicked and if more humans had that same reaction i believe we all would have more appreciation and respect for this ocean. We are swimming through their homes. They are amazing creatures.
They will shred you apart in a moment's notice. Their minds are dumb as a dufus, they react mechanically at the most basic and random "eating time" stimuli.
This is, hands down, the best video of sharks I have seen this year. The footage is incredible. This shows their beauty and how serene and graceful they really are. Just to watch them playing. They're not the mindless killing machines that they have been made out to be. They can control how hard they bite. They just want us to leave their home and space. People need to respect them.
Sharks playing with the kelp is just like cats playing with a ball of yarn!! Fascinating! This video is awesome and shows so much of how sharks really are when they are not hunting. Two thumbs up 😊👍👍
Very beautiful footage, and I have a feeling those surfers and swimmers weren’t all that afraid of them since they know that Great Whites almost never attack people. It’s the Bull sharks you have to watch out for.
And the tiger sharks 😳
Greet wihte shark if he hangry he can eat the human
Tell that to Simon Nellist and the other GW attacks recently in which they completely ate the people or ate limbs. Go ahead and put your trust in them all you want.
Stop spreading false information great white sharks do kill people often enough don’t test your luck
@@Steve24_7 they were just really hungry man, usually it never happens
I have to hand it to you. Videos like this really help people understand Great White Sharks. The work you are doing here is a beautiful thing. Thank you.
love this type of footage. Where we get to observe by not disturbing them at all. Exactly how it should be! Beautiful
In early November, I was swimming with a friend about 300 meters offshore at Del Mar, California. A young white shark bumped my friend and then bit her in the thigh. The bite was not life threatening, but the puncture wounds were deep (up to 4 cm) and a couple were quite close to her femoral artery - it could have easily been much worse.
I appreciate your excellent videos; I had watched them before this encounter, and I continue to do so. By showing these videos you show the whole picture - sharks in their environment. Your videos help destigmatize the white shark from its image of simply one of viciousness and horror. This is good. These sharks are an important part of healthy oceans, and they need to be respected as such.
With regard to your videos of young white sharks near humans in the water, these help dispel the myth that sharks will invariably attack, and again help put this shark in a more appropriate context. However, we need to be aware that white sharks don’t have to be in attack mode to be dangerous to humans in the water.
We don’t know why we were apparently ambushed and my swim buddy was bitten, but it may not have been due to aggressive behavior. It could have been defensive behavior (perhaps we were just too close - the water was murky, so we didn’t see the shark until it made its presence known). Or it could have been curiosity: many animals, especially young animals, investigate their surroundings by using their mouth; even children do this, and yet they are equipped with sensitive hands. In some of your videos, as you have noted, it appears that a white shark might just have been checking something out (such as floating trash) - with a bite.
Great perspective - thanks for posting.
Thank you for your insight and thoughts. I hope that your friend is recovering well.
I understand that these young great white sharks stay in specific areas that change from time to time. Maybe Malibu Artist could tell us where these aggregations are in California, so that we could swim elsewhere!
@@evagonzales5349 Thank you. There is a research group at Cal State Long Beach, studying white sharks. They have found that the area from Del Mar down to just south of Blacks beach is a current spot where there are around 120 young white sharks. So, most of us now swim further north or south of this area of coastline. We are happy to let them have this area, undisturbed by swimmers :)
Bro just needed a Lil taste test, just a nibble.
Also, if you don't kind me asking, how big was the shark?
300m offshore? 😳 It's incredible that your friend was able to swim back to shore after being bitten by a GW. I hope she is recovering well.🙏🏊 thanks for sharing the story.
As a life-long lover of great white sharks, I so appreciate what you and others like Scott Fairchild in San Diego are doing to bring these incredible images to us. Thank you so much!
It's not so funny when they tear your mother limb from limb just metres away from you.
No idea why people are happy to be in water with a super predator, sure 99% of the time they won't touch you, but you never know when they'll decide to go off and DESTROY your body
until one bite you
So beautiful and majestic. Not hardly the monster predator some make them out to be. They are actually so calm and serene to watch. Gorgeous footage
Dude, 3 people died in an Egypt in just 1 week due to shark attack. Not monsters but definitely carnivorous predators.
Its okay to be afraid. Respect them as one of natures feared killers. Tell them to all the sea lions thats hunted by them that are calm 🤣
Definitely a predator
Will calmly and serenly shred you to pieces like a meatgrinder only faster but calmly and serenly. Totally not dufus brain machine like minded apex predators.
I was stationed on Pendleton until 2016. I’m back on the east coast now but I’ve been following your channel for years and it always brings me back. While I was still out there, I went cage-diving at Guadalupe to see the great whites. Mindblowing experience
How long is the boat ride?
I have loved and respected sharks ever since I was a child, so for about 30 years now! Thank you for sharing this footage.
The views that the inception of drones has allowed us is nothing short of absolutely incredible. And not just over the seas. It’s allowed us to see things like african painted dog hunt’s where usually we could only see parts of the hunts as they often cover great distances but with drones we can see the whole hunt from start to finish from the air. It’s amazing.
Extraordinary work, really beautiful. I've no idea how you've made me truly appreciate sharks, but you have
Best footage on you tube thank you for everything you go through to bring us the viewer the best shark footage EVER
Thanks a ton for watching and for your support!
I’m deadly afraid of sharks, but I begin to understand the effect that Hollywood movies and unnuanced ‘rumors’ of sharks have had of effect on my fear. Seeing videos like this one helps me reframe my fear and understanding of sharks. Thank you - keep up the good work!!! ❤
It isn't unhealthy to be afraid of sharks. It is impossible to truly know if one will attack you. That being said, they are not movie monsters, they are just animals. They don't deserve to be killed. Thank you for being open minded :)
ya jaws did a number on sharks but bull and tiger sharks are aggressive i wouldn't swim anywhere near them
@@auston781Oh best believe I have no intentions of going near either 😂
Your fear should NOT be reframed at all. If you are in close vicinity to a great white shark, immediately vacate the water. They deserve their respect.
This is beautiful. You’ve completely opened my eyes to the grace and elegance of these creatures
The butterfly and the shark!! It took my breath away. One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my life. I love your narrative. Thank you for this! 🙏
Beautiful footage. Many people underestimate the intelligence of sharks, but in reality, they are much smarter than we often perceive them to be.
I said I wasn't going to cry ... well, I can't help it. They are so majestic and your videos capture what we would normally never see. Wishing you the happiest of New Years. Thank you for all you do.
Not just me finding the tears coming on then!
I was very close, the footage, the music, the narration and the beautiful sharks in each shot 🙌
Pathetic
My wife had a great white shark encounter while surfing just last week in Australia. Footage here: ruclips.net/video/lWQUM9YAXbM/видео.html
Terrific narration! I love when someone’s fascination with a subject I wasn’t particularly interested manages to infect me.
Absolutely loved your video. Can really feel the passion you have for these creatures, which really displays their beauty in the right light - not the conventional ways of today. Beautiful!
I love that you are showing sharks as beautiful, intelligent creatures and not as terrifying, mindless killers!
Thank you. That was a wonderfully done and well narrated video! 👍👍
This is the most wonderful footage I've seen in quite a while - I'll admit, I cried.
I'm not going to lie, after seeing this, I don't think ill ever be going in the ocean again.
Lots of people said the same in 1975 after watching JAWS 😂
I felt the same way after seeing Jaws. I will not go past my stomach at the beach 😅.
I barely got in the bathtub after seeing Jaws as a little girl 😂
You sir, are the Jacques Cousteau of great white sharks. I can only hope you continue your amazing work for years to come. Their uniqueness has always captivated me and continues to do so to this day. Thank you for sharing your incredible work and insight.
My wife had a close encounter with a great white shark while surfing in Australia last week. Footage here: ruclips.net/video/lWQUM9YAXbM/видео.html
All the best for the new year. I can't wait to see more of your amazing footage.
The shots were phenomenal and this video was very educational. Thank you.
Loved your commentary about them not being props and sensationalized. All animals on this planet deserve protection
Except mosquitoes
Except cows,pigs,sheep,chickens and fish, that's good eating
@@darthghengis they at least deserve more humane treatment. I’m not a vegan but factory farming is an abomination
@@TarboxArt All animals will die at some point anyway, so it is important that we give them a good life while they still have it :)
A fantastic video to end 2022, narrated beautifully, and giving us a real look into the lives of these fantastic creatures, and hopefully allowing us to give them a bit more respect.
Thank you for showing us the beautiful and harmless side of sharks we never knew 🙏
Your videos are what finally convinced my husband that I wasn't crazy for loving sharks.
Thank you, MalibuArtist for the beautiful footage! I appreciated the narration and facts I've learned from watching your channel! Drones certainly have changed how we see things!
Happy New Year and thanks again!
10 out of 10. Amazing footage. Sharks just being sharks. Chilling and playing. Great stuff.
I’ve always been terrified of sharks. Still am. I guess more just open water than anything. But man there’s no denying that this was an incredible video. Seriously had me in tears at one point. Thank you for this. This was amazing.
Same here, open water is scary and sharks sort of terrify me. But they are beautiful creatures worthy of respect.
You play at your own risk as animals are unpredictable. They could be sick or hungry and act out of the ordinary.
I wasn’t really until I watched that guy get eaten in Egypt last week. Going to be a while before I get into the ocean again
@@Whocares1987 yea being at the mercy of the shark, it decides whether it wants to attack you or not
Hi. Have you ever seen ocean Ramsey? Check her out, she swims with sharks on a very regular basis. It's amazing.
Breath taking scenery of these Great White's. They are so beautiful.
This was so cool. I am terrified of sharks but this really helped me see them as something interesting. Thank you so much!
Same.
this just helps prove how uninterested in humans sharks are. this type of thing (close encounters by unaware humans) happens thousands of times a day across the world, and yet how many shark attacks occur?
@@SoloRenegade I saw a video of a man being eaten alive by a white shark recently. It literally ate and killed him. So i won't take any chances xD
@@pepedeltoro6647 yes, bears kill people too. so do mountain lions, and wolves. Hippos kill people too, and alligators. Did you know Zebras are one of the most deadly zoo animals? Elephants kill people too.
But you know what kills more people than all of those combined? other humans. Heck even car accidents kill more people. But you take those chances every single day.
You're more likely to die of a natural disaster than a shark.
But teeth are scary, the idea of being food for something else is irrationally terrifying, i get it. But talking about the odds while taking far higher risks many times over every single day is not logical.
logical? odds? wild animals? natural disasters?
I dont live in Africa or swim in the ocean..so. my odds are logistically 0% of anytime of attack. i also dont live near any natural disaster areas, so thats another 0%..I'm not the only 1 either, so, statically speaking, none of that makes 0sense.
before, I replied I tried looked up dying by a natural disaster to dying by a shark attack..
that is a ridiculous comparison 😂, there's nothing comparing the 2. I won't even get into the details of that 😂
it makes 0sense.
This video just brought back a small shred of hope for me, that not all humans have turned away or stopped caring about the beauty and importance of all natural things, even the predators people usually fear. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for caring about these beautiful magnificent creatures!
I may be crying now but it's a good cry, one of hope for the natural world 🖤💗🥹
WOW, such amazing footage, I love sharks , my favorite is the hammerhead!! Sharks are very misunderstood!!! The one breaching is probably playing!!
They are incredibly beautiful, and I have huge respect for them. This footage is amazing and shows a playful side to them I never knew they had.
Thank you!
You have respect for animal killers because they stare at humans sometimes??????? Wtf.
@@bunninsula5849 your acting as though you don’t eat meat lmao.
And my grandfather ate rabbits cry about it
@@theotheseaeagle I don't eat meat. I'm vegan/against animal abuse.
@@bunninsula5849 sharks need to eat meat to survive lmao. I’d like to see you try and feed one a salad
thank you for share these amazing videos with us, Sharks are amazing animals ❤
This video was so beautifully done! It's the level of respect you show to the sharks that really drew me in. You show them as they are the majority of the time, just existing in their world. I'm not afraid of sharks exactly, but I definitely acknowledge the respect they deserve when we're visiting their home! Keep it up!!
Masterful job with your drone footage, your subjects and editing. All the best!
It is such an eerie feeling just watching these videos let alone being in the water.
So beautiful. My father taught me to appreciate all creatures, including predators…unusual in the 50s and 60s where sharks are concerned. When he fished he always had a very long rope for the fish he caught. He told me that he did it for his safety and to prevent a shark hunt, which on the Gulf Coast always meant a frenzy of shark killing.
****IMPORTANT ****
That was a beautiful video and well put together. Thank you for all the hard work and the TIME of editing. A LOT OF PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH WORK / TIME GOES Just IN EDITING. I would love for you to catch a moment when orcas and great whites are around each other !!! And if you already have the shots, please send the link in the comments. Thank you.
That butterfly with the shark.....both so beautiful...
One of the beautifulest video about sharks i've ever seen! Simply marvelous! Thank you for this gift❤
This footage will not make it easier for me when I go to enjoy the sea waters, but thank you so much for it and the message you are sending across about these creatures 🙌🙌
I agree, if anything it makes me respect the sea is their territory even more so!
Back here, once again, In 2024. Your footage is truly breathtaking. I’ve been a great white lover since i was a wee one. While all the other kids perused to youth section of the library, you could always find me in the mammal/fish section, educating myself on the most interesting topic of great whites (specifically). Thank you for your (modern) contribution ♥️
This is beautiful. We are so lucky to live in this earth and share our so short lifespan on this existence surrounded by such magnificient creatures and landscapes
Wow beautifully filmed and narrated. Some of the best filming I've ever seen. Great drone control. I love sharks and hate the way the media portray them. As your drone alerted people on the water to a shark near by , perhaps these drones could be used with a warning sound and make the water a safer place for all .Many thanks Paul x
I was so stressed out when I got to work this morning. I saw this video pop up and clicked on it. What a relaxing and calming video this was!
as soon as you get to work you start watching RUclips?
@@fredflintstone8569 No, not at all. Don’t assume it was right away lol
This is National Geographic quality footage and narration Sir, bravo to you! 👏🏽🙌🏽👌🏽🤌🏽
I spent a lot of time on Lanzarote (Canary Islands). I'm not a diving guy, but had the pleasure to meet with sraks two times. Once on Fuerteventure - went to the beach, but it was closed due to smaller sharks (probably young blue sharks) coming to the shore. I took a few pictures, they were about 100-120 cm long and 3-4 meters away from me. The second time was even more fascinating as it was the first time a rented a smaller boat to sail the waters alone. Got a tip about a place where dolphins are spotted fairly often but instead of dolphins I managed to see a whale shark near the surface. After that I visited a fish farm where I spotted a larger shark - either a great white or a tiger, the size would fit them booth but it seemed it had a few faint stripes.
Fun fact: a friend of mine bought her first villa there in the 90s and spent a feew weeks or months a year there. She swam everywhere, got in the water everywhere. Never knew that there are sharks near the islands, she was terrified when I told her about the closed beach :D
When i was a little girl in Southern California, my dad used to paddle out with me laying on his back with my arms around his buff neck and shoulders. He talked to me about sharks and told me they were his ocean friends and i didnt need to be afraid of them while surfing. Thank you for bringing me some wholesome memories and for the beautiful video
This is stunning footage. Drones are the best way to learn about sharks and also exploring deep oceans as well as deep space.
This is really cool. Beautifully done. I enjoyed it the entire way through. The commentary, choice of words, tone of your voice and the soundtrack made it a work of art.
Wow, thank you!
Wow. it`s been a longtime since I saw an entire youtube video without skipping. I was stressed editing and just happened to turn this on. This is in my opinion the best video on this platform. I love how you potray these majestic creatures in a positive light. Thank you for producing and sharing this.
I’m terrified of sharks and won’t go in the water but I luv your videos. They very beautiful and educational and I always look forward to watching them. They r fascinating animals. Thank u for highlighting their behavior and sharing it. Keep up the great work!
Amazing ! Beautiful footage ..so glad I came across your channel!! I have loved and respected sharks since a young age thank you for encouraging others to show they are not always vicious and showing how wonderful they are ❤
I absolutely love your channel! The peace & Beauty it brings ❤️
The fact that you don’t show the poor sea lions and seals being eaten by sharks is so refreshing. I can’t take watching that over and over in all the shark videos. Thank you for your beautiful work
this was so relaxing to watch and to see how gentle and beautiful great while actually are. thank you.
Fantastic! thank you so much for these wonderful films and the insights that they provide.
I've been infatuated with gw sharks for ~36 years, this is the most intuitive and educational footage I have ever seen, no baiting no wrangling no hype, just specimens behaving naturally
excellent work OP thankyou!
Wow, thanks!
@@TheMalibuArtist have you tried viewing further up the coast? like the big sur area or anywhere between San Simeon and Monterey?
Absolutely beautiful these are very gentle and loving creatures who pose very little harm to humans in reality
Are you high???????
Then you woke up
Such beautiful images and words... Loved it. Made me tear up. Thanks for all the love and respect towards nature. Sharks are amazing, animals are amazing, nature is amazing. We have to protect it and cherish our world, such a gift we received.
Wow! This was so beautiful and very fascinating. Thank you for sharing this view of the sharks!
Truly beautiful footage - thanks so much for uploading and sharing this 🦈
Glad this popped up on my recommended. Very calming video and great perspective of such magnificent creatures.
Such neat fish. They just drift so calmly and methodically. It's also neat to see how varied their routines are. They're almost like underwater bears, foraging and occasionally flexing in front of others.
That was so beautiful 🤩 Thank you for this footage and the story you told with it! It was nice watching sharks be silly with kelp! They always paint them as dangerous beasts, it's good to see them just as normal part of life! 🌊🦈
This is just beautiful and you have captured the natural Great White. Seeing them interact with other sea animals and birds is too cool and amazing. It makes them a lot more than killers. 😊
Lovely footage. Beautiful creatures. They deserve our respect and care.
Nice shots. Also the scene at the end where the ray floats through the shoal of fish 💚
They are just beautiful to watch. To see their soft movements through the water. It is freedom, freedom that we humans will never experience. Just breathtaking footage!
But, I won’t being swimming with them 🎉 Happy New Year 🎉😊
I absolutely love sharks. I’ve had a strong fascination with them since I was a kid. That said, the footage of the swimmer swimming with the shark just years away from him gave me chills. It conjures up the Simon Nellist attack. While attacks are rare, they do happen. So willingly going in again after you told him the Great White was in there is just dumb to me. I’d hate for the shark to be curious about me and take a nibble, because their nibbles remove limbs or tear out flesh wide open with ease. I’ll gladly admire them from the shore. 😂
