Shark diving brings recreational divers face to face with sharks in open water, during feeding encounters and from protective cages. Around the world, these encounters offer opportunities to observe different shark species at close range.
The episode follows divers as they encounter sharks in locations including Southern California and observe large schools of hammerhead sharks. It also looks at how researchers and expedition divers use technology to study and photograph these animals in challenging ocean conditions.
Beyond recreational diving, the film considers the pressures facing shark populations and their place within marine ecosystems. Understanding sharks and their behavior is presented as an important part of conservation.
Discover the underwater world of sharks through close encounters, observation and research.
