In this week's episode, I get a white shark fight next to my kayak, and observe another get close to a spearfisher.

This video starts with a behind-the-scenes look at a recent YouTube LIVE I did from my kayak—where a great white shark swam right beside me. What viewers didn’t see… was what was happening underwater. Using an underwater camera, I was able to capture a completely different perspective of that moment—revealing just how close the shark really was. But just days later, I came across something even more interesting. A spearfisherman in the water… a kayaker nearby… and a great white shark moving through the area unnoticed. Using drone footage, I tracked the shark, identified it from a previous sighting by its markings, and followed its movement as it passed within close range of people who never knew it was there. To better understand its size, Eric "Dronesey" and I returned with a custom-built measurement system—using a kayak with a confirmed length and a calibrated tow camera to get a reliable reference. When the shark passed close enough, we were able to estimate it at nearly 12 feet long. This video is a rare look at how great white sharks actually move around people in the wild—often unseen, even at close range.

Great White Sharks LIVE Stream from my Drone. Depending on conditions, LIVE streams will vary. I will try to go LIVE once I've found a shark to make this feed more active and enjoyable. Most footage will be sharks just swimming, but occasionally, we should see something special. Your support is greatly appreciated on this channel.
