Deep sea diving isn’t a life-altering experience on its own. But what happens when you add giant Great White Sharks to the mix?
Mark Healey and Roberta Mancino are daredevil divers who specialize in situations that other people would avoid at all costs. Both of these divers are capable of staying under the water for nearly six minutes at a time. They dive to depths of over 100 feet to capture videos of fish, coral reef, wrecked boats, sharks, and more.
In fact they were recently filmed swimming with Great White Sharks. In one scene, both of them grabbed on to the main fin on the shark’s back. They seemed to allow the shark to guide them through the water. The shark never seemed aggressive toward them. It simply remained indifferent toward their current existence in its habitat.
Mark explained that he feels like sharks are misunderstood creatures. He claims that sharks aren’t the killers people believe they are. He believes every animal should be judged solely on its actions. He laments that humans aren’t able to be judged the same way due to the complexities of humans and human interactions. These divers feel free in the water to express their emotions and get in touch with nature.
The two divers spend time exploring boats that have settled at the bottom of the sea floor at their location. They note how the facial expressions of sharks and other fish can’t change. You can never really tell what a shark is thinking. The camera images are amazing in these video scenes.
Divers rarely enjoy getting close to Great White Sharks due to their aggressive reputation. But these divers proved that reputations aren’t always correct. They showed the gentle side of the sharks that most people would never believe unless they saw it with their own eyes.
