Close-up shark photos aim to break ‘Jaws’ stereotype: George’s research took him to Isla Guadalupe, an island located off the coast of Baja California known for its Great White Shark sightings. He bought a camera with waterproof housing ...

I love sharks 😉☺️😊😀😃😄

I love sharks, too. :O) Hope you enjoyed the photos and video.

fantastic :) thank you so much for sharing :)

Thanks!

I totally agree! I've been saying the same thing to people since I did a cage dive in Australia. They're not quite the mindless killing machines that people think. My immediate feelings, first being in the water with the shark were that it was graceful and majestic. It was HUGE but it didn't seem threatening or intimidating. It was just doing it's thing.

Saying that, if I came across one that hadn't had a meal for a while and the cage wasn't there, I might suddenly feel a bit more uncomfortable ;) Great shots by the way! :)

Media drives the over-killing of these amazing creatures.

I hear you. It is important to remember that while they aren't the mindless killers that we see in movies like Jaws, they are still wild predatory animals. So, exiting the water if you came across a white shark, while open water diving, isn't an unreasonable response.

I think education and less overly sensational media can help to curb that.

Thanks for sharing this! Katie Stamos

You are a man after my own heart George Probst! Humans need to RESPECT the shark not fear and loathe it as the perceived 'killing machine' it is notoriously and infamously known as. You are so right, the shark is a beautiful and GRACEFUL big fish that has been completely misunderstood my humans for both its and our history/lifetime. I am a hemipelvectomy (entire left leg amputated at the hip joint and left side of my pelvis) due to my near-death motorcycle accident in 1990 at the age of 26. And while many suggest I look as though a shark may have attacked me, that is totally on the contrary! My injury was self inflicted as it my responsibility I lost control of my motorcycle at very high speed on a public highway. Nevertheless when a human enters the sea/ocean then they enter the shark's environment; its HOME. That is what humans forget. And when an intruder enters a human's home unexpectedly, what is the impending situation? CONFLICT. This may read as rather dispassionate, however whenever I read or learn that a human has been attacked by a shark, I don't always feel empathy towards the human. That doesn't mean I believe the human deserved to be attacked, but it does mean did the human really RESPECT the shark in its environment totally? Any human that enters the sea/ocean is rolling the dice. It isn't fully hazard-free zone. It IS a dangerous environment that needs to be FULLY RESPECTED by all who enter it.

Thanks! Sorry to hear about your motorcycle accident. While I agree that we take risks entering the ocean (much like we do doing just about anything), I certainly feel empathetic to anyone who is bitten by a shark. I don't think those who have been bitten show a lack of respect for the ocean or sharks. The risk of a shark bite is so rare, that I think the average person assumes that the ocean is relatively safe. Granted, when diving with shark, which are wild predators, there is an assumed potential risk, as is the case when sharing the environment with any wild animal. I have a great respect for wildlife in general, but I still feel bad whenever I hear about animal attacks on humans.

Awesome.....

Thanks, Jay!
