So the gopo sharks are the most common speciesΒ  that we have so these guys right here they’reΒ Β  about 8 to 10 ft I don’t know how many butΒ  I saw one tiger shark for sure I like eightΒ Β 

Gpos and eight Galapagos right now as we wereΒ  coming up there was a little baby one so whatΒ Β  we ask you guys to do is to use your voice toΒ  spread awareness um the best thing you can doΒ Β 

Is tell everyone what you did today you guys wentΒ  with like eight goopo sharks a tiger shark peopleΒ Β  have never even seen a shark in real life soΒ  I’m just telling people about your experienceΒ Β  um how we can easily and peacefully coexistΒ  how they’re not the man eating monster thereΒ Β 

Like Jaws in the media p tray in the be what’sΒ  up everybody welcome back to another beautifulΒ Β  day here on the island of Hawaii now today I’mΒ  actually on the NorthShore it’s bright and earlyΒ Β  it’s 9:30 a.m. and today I have a very specialΒ  video planned for you guys because we’re goingΒ Β 

To be doing something that well to be honest IΒ  never thought I’d actually do in my life we’reΒ Β  going to be swimming with sharks here on theΒ  NorthShore of Hawaii now this is actually anΒ Β  activity that’s very popular here in Hawaii andΒ  tourists from all around the world come hereΒ Β 

Every single day to do this both in a cage andΒ  without a cage today we’re going to be doing itΒ Β  take a guess without a cage now it took a littleΒ  bit of convincing because to be honest with youΒ Β 

Guys sharks well you know we all have like thisΒ  misunderstanding that sharks are just incrediblyΒ Β  dangerous animals and too many sharks are theirΒ  biggest fears So today we’re going to learn aΒ Β  little bit more about these amazing animals and ofΒ  course get up close and personal with them with aΒ Β 

Company called Deep Blue Echo tours now they’reΒ  actually one of the most popular tour companiesΒ Β  here in the region they do tours several times aΒ  day from this beautiful Port that we’re at rightΒ Β  now in the NorthShore and I’ll leave all ofΒ  their contact information down below so thatΒ Β 

You can reach on out if you find this videoΒ  interesting and if this well catches your eyeΒ Β  because I have a feeling this is not going to beΒ  for everybody but it should be exciting so joinΒ Β 

Me for an awesome adventure from here in aahuΒ  so the boat is actually not here just yet butΒ Β  let me just tell you guys this side of the islandΒ  is super impressive everybody told us that wellΒ Β 

This is one of the most beautiful sides of theΒ  island and I can already see why it’s a lot moreΒ Β  calmer there’s not any big huge buildings and WhyΒ  Kiki Beach where we’ve actually been staying theΒ Β 

Last few days you’re always hearing music um to beΒ  honest people partying having fun which is totallyΒ Β  fine but it’s nice to feel like you know the localΒ  Island Vibes and this town that we’re in right nowΒ Β 

That I actually can’t pronounce but I’ll leave theΒ  name of right here at the bottom is actually superΒ Β  cal and as we were driving in you can see allΒ  of the different mountains the Dole PlantationΒ Β 

Was actually just off side of the road um on theΒ  same bus route that we actually took to get hereΒ Β  so it’s quite impressive that you can actuallyΒ  visit a lot of the tourist attractions here onΒ Β  aahu simply by taking the city bus so seriouslyΒ  um take that into consideration when planning yourΒ Β 

Trip here in aahu now you can actually purchaseΒ  this card called a Holo card or a Holo card I’mΒ Β  not too sure how you pronounce it either butΒ  you can purchase this card at a store called ABCΒ Β  stores and they’re actually located absolutelyΒ  everywhere it’s kind of like a 7-Eleven it’s aΒ Β 

One-Stop shop and the card cost $7.50 for a dayΒ  pass but for the initial purchase you actuallyΒ Β  have to pay $2 for the card but every singleΒ  day you can walk on in there and reload themΒ Β 

And trust me it definitely is convenient becauseΒ  each time you get on a bus it’s $3 even if you getΒ Β  on the bus and just ride it two three stops umΒ  it adds up quite quick like for example on theΒ Β 

Way here this morning I actually had to get offΒ  the bus for an emergency stop at the bathroom atΒ Β  Starbucks I know a little bit too much informationΒ  but we ended up spending $18 for the both of usΒ Β 

To get all the way down here because why becauseΒ  chrisopher got his Holo card in the hotel typicalΒ Β  Chris things you know what I’m saying but yeahΒ  this place is gorgeous I think next time I visitΒ Β 

Aahu I’m definitely going to plan to stay a fewΒ  days here in the NorthShore it’s so beautifulΒ Β  and definitely a lot more a lot more relaxing TheΒ  Vibes I was actually looking forward to here in

Hawaii my name’s Kai U Michaela right here she’sΒ  going to be your safety diver today um so whenΒ Β  you’re in the water you’re going to be hanging outΒ  with Michaela uh she’ll talk to you guys all aboutΒ Β 

The sharks make you feel nice and comfortableΒ  before we get out there but obviously you guysΒ Β  need anything at all just feel free to ask we’reΒ  all here to you know take care of you make this aΒ Β 

Nice fun experience and then Gavin right here he’sΒ  going to be your sa uh sorry photographer todayΒ Β  um so if you guys are interested in the photoΒ  package Gavin does a really awesome job he’llΒ Β  run you through that process and then similarlyΒ  Timmy he’s our videographer shoots all of ourΒ Β 

Instagram content and everything um so you guysΒ  have some really great options today with theΒ Β  photo and video package and then just a few veryΒ  basic things to note for boat safety um we haveΒ Β 

Two fire extinguishers on board one right next toΒ  me right here there’s one in the sink in the cabinΒ Β  we also have life vest underneath the seats inΒ  the cabin and uh if we needed to contact the CoastΒ Β 

Guard Channel 16 up on the radio here but we’re 3Β  miles out still in sell service the whole time umΒ Β  run a very safe operation uh Michael will talk toΒ  you guys all about it and then we’ll we’ll makeΒ Β 

Our way out there so thank you all righty guys howΒ  you feeling you ready excited yeah all righty soΒ Β  before we get into the Sharks we’re going to seeΒ  in kind of their behavior in the water and howΒ Β 

It’s going to work out there a little backgroundΒ  information about why we’re able to shark diveΒ Β  out here how we get the Sharks things like thatΒ  um a lot of places in the world are not able toΒ Β 

Free dive with sharks especially only 3 milesΒ  off shore so we’re really really lucky um butΒ Β  basically over the past 75 years or so the crabΒ  fishing industry has been really big out of thisΒ Β  Harbor so basically wherever we go to shark diΒ  in that zone there’s tons of crab traps on theΒ Β 

Bottom and the sharks are kind of conditioned toΒ  in any boat enters area they think it’s a crabΒ Β  fishing boat so what these crab fishermen areΒ  doing are pulling up their traps and things areΒ Β  falling out or they’re just throwing things overΒ  that are not the right species or size regulationΒ Β 

Um so when any bat enters the area the sharks areΒ  just going to check it out see what’s happeningΒ Β  um and they hope it’s the fishing boat um so allΒ  we do is we go out there and we mimic what theseΒ Β 

Boats do when they pull their traps so they goΒ  in reverse they make a lot of bubbles they makeΒ Β  a lot of noise you’ll see us doing that when weΒ  get out there um and then once the Sharks noticeΒ Β 

We’re in the area they kind of come up from theΒ  bottom once we see them trailing our boat that’sΒ Β  our green light to get in with them so um it’sΒ  really cool how they’re kind of just waitingΒ Β 

Out there um they don’t see us as Predators IΒ  mean as food whatsoever um we are much largerΒ Β  than what they eat so they just see us as otherΒ  predators in the water um which makes for reallyΒ Β  good interaction with them um it’s a controlledΒ  environment so you guys are completely safe withΒ Β 

All of us um and like Kai said if you guys haveΒ  any questions anything like that let us know we’reΒ Β  here to make your experience um amazing fun andΒ  just get you guys in the water with sharks andΒ Β 

See how amazing they are um but let’s talk aboutΒ  the Sharks we’re going to see so the glago sharksΒ Β  are the most common species that we have so theseΒ  guys right here they’re about 8 to 10 ft so GPOΒ Β 

Sharks are really slow moving so what they like toΒ  do is kind of make circles around us in the boatΒ Β  uh they’re very attractive to the boat so most ofΒ  the time they’ll be hanging out like right behindΒ Β 

The boat right under the boat um but again likeΒ  I said they’re the most common species we haveΒ Β  um they’re going to be present with us throughoutΒ  the whole dive most likely so these are the globo

Sharks let’s see what we got next next we have ourΒ  Sandbar sharks so these guys right here they’reΒ Β  much smaller they’re about 3 to 6 3 to 7 ft umΒ  it’s not really the time for sandbar sharks rightΒ Β 

Now but there is a possibility that they swim byΒ  um like I said they’re much smaller their behaviorΒ Β  is also much different than the Glo GH sharks soΒ  these guys are very energetic they’re very fastΒ Β 

Moving in the water uh they make sharp turns theyΒ  move up and down the water coling really quicklyΒ Β  nothing to be alarmed about that’s just how theyΒ  are this species is just really energetic so um ifΒ Β  we have these guys you’ll definitely notice theirΒ  behavior in the water so those are The SandbarΒ Β 

Sharks next we have our tiger sharks so our tigerΒ  sharks are the biggest species we have they’reΒ Β  about 15 to 16 ft and it is Tiger season soΒ  there’s a possibility that we see tigers um whatΒ Β 

I mean by Tiger season is these bigger sharks areΒ  coming down from the other Hawaiian islands andΒ Β  closer to sh and aahu for their puffing season andΒ  for mating season so um we see a lot of pregnantΒ Β 

Females we’ve been seeing a lot of juveniles thisΒ  season so it’s really really cool to see um theseΒ Β  large sharks that we don’t get to see a lot umΒ  and it’s uh a very lucky dive if you guys do getΒ Β 

To see them so um we did have some this morningΒ  so there’s a really good chance that we haveΒ Β  them on our next dive today um but basically ourΒ  protocol with tiger sharks is you guys are justΒ Β 

Going to group up really close together um orΒ  hold on to the safety line the most importantΒ Β  thing is that no one is off by thems when we haveΒ  a tiger um just because sometimes they do makeΒ Β 

Bold approaches that require physical R DirectionΒ  um so we will be handling that you guys will justΒ Β  kind of be hanging out observing the tiger as sheΒ  passes by um but again like I said just no one offΒ Β 

Alone just making sure you guys are listening toΒ  us we’ll be communicating with you guys the wholeΒ Β  entire time but any questions about tiger sharksΒ  basically the front of the boat will be tied to aΒ Β 

Moing which is a really deep anchor so what thatΒ  means is the back of the boat can be swingingΒ Β  side to side or bouncing up and down of the windΒ  and the waves and things like that um nothing toΒ Β 

Be alarmed about it’s just very important that weΒ  are aware of our surroundings at all time so it’sΒ Β  very important that you guys know which directionΒ  you’re swimming in uh where you are in the waterΒ Β 

Especially compared to the boat we’re going to tryΒ  to say about 15 to 20 ft off the back center ofΒ Β  the boat um so again like I said just be awareΒ  of your surroundings know where you are in theΒ Β 

Water just checking up on the boat making sureΒ  you never find yourself at the front half of theΒ Β  boat um but that brings me into the next thingΒ  you guys are just going to be following me theΒ Β 

Whole time I go you go or you’re just going toΒ  be hanging out on that safety line um but we’reΒ Β  all going to be in a group together kind of justΒ  hanging out together um kind of like acting likeΒ Β 

A school truck so um just be very aware in theΒ  water any questions about [Music] that so itΒ Β  was just a short 20 minute ride from where we uhΒ  boarded the boat from the pier and now we’re moredΒ Β 

Up and waiting for these sharks to start appearingΒ  and once they do we’ll jump on into the water andΒ Β  see them for the very first time now the reasonΒ  um well our safety diver actually just explainedΒ Β 

That the reason why the Sharks actually comeΒ  to this area is because there’s all kinds of umΒ Β  crabbing boats here in the area and a lot of timesΒ  as they’re pulling the crab pots up from the waterΒ Β 

Crabs fall out of the cage into the water and theΒ  Sharks absolutely loved that I mean who doesn’tΒ Β  love a nice free snack right um that takes littleΒ  effort so that’s the reason why uh they come upΒ Β 

In the water here in these areas I’m a little bitΒ  nervous but to be honest after the little safetyΒ Β  brief I’m feeling confidence excited and the viewsΒ  here are stunning guys Hawaii is such a beautifulΒ Β  place the mountains that surround the coastlineΒ  that we’re in right now are super impressive andΒ Β 

The water is incredibly blue and not like a likeΒ  a turquoise blue that we just got done seeing inΒ Β  um Thailand this is like a nice I don’t know likeΒ  a dark blue but beautiful all right guys well weΒ Β 

Just saw our first uh shark pop out of thereΒ  what would you say that was a Galapago sharkΒ Β  shark y oh man easily identifiable right thereΒ  easily identify and I can’t even talk I just gotΒ Β 

Hella nervous seeing that that thing come outΒ  of the water damn you know I was a bit calmerΒ Β  after the safety bre but I just saw that and I’mΒ  I’m back to where I was before before getting onΒ Β 

The boat we’re going to cue the Jaws theme musicΒ  here in a second for oh man so we’re in but we’reΒ Β  good hands I’m I’m feeling confident and um he’sΒ  going to be the cameraman today and photographerΒ Β 

And then our video guy oh man I’ve never seen aΒ  shark this close before this is awesome okay yeahΒ Β  buddy there because well you can only usuallyΒ  see them around the summer months so we came atΒ Β 

A perfect time however I think I’m going to beΒ  pretty impressed no matter what kind of sharkΒ Β  I see um inside of the water time to get the maskΒ  on jump off the back of the boat and it feels soΒ Β 

Funny have the shark encounter for the very firstΒ  time of my life here in Hawaii excited yes I amΒ Β  you it’s going to be yeah I’m excited I’m excitedΒ  better yeah me too I’m a little nervous too you [Music] [Applause] [Music] know

[Music] just made it out of water wow guys thatΒ  was incredible seriously an experience you haveΒ Β  0:12:58.840,1193:02:47.295 [Music] to do when in Hawaii totally worth the journeyΒ  from wakiki up here as I mentioned it’s superΒ Β 

Easy to access and this is an experience ofΒ  of a lifetime we were down there for about IΒ Β  don’t know that felt like almost like 45 minutesΒ  huh it was a long time longer than 30 it was aΒ Β 

Great time down there we saw uh I don’t knowΒ  how many but I saw one tiger shark for sureΒ Β  I like eight gpos and eight galpagos right nowΒ  as we were coming up there was a little baby oneΒ Β 

And yeah now they’re all around the boat lookΒ  at them beautiful beautiful time wow w w thankΒ Β  you guys that was incredible all right now time toΒ  reflect on everything that we just saw down thereΒ Β 

Such a beautiful experience time to make it backΒ  towards the land was awesome thank you yes so weΒ Β  got a tiger shark and a bunch of Glocks so thatΒ  was really really amazing um but before we getΒ Β 

Back a quick talk about shark conservation kind ofΒ  just educating you guys on what sharks are goingΒ Β  through right now why they’re important thingsΒ  you can do to help um but lot of people aren’tΒ Β  aware of what sharks are going through um they’reΒ  being killed at really drastic grades do you guysΒ Β 

Have any idea how many sharks are being killedΒ  each year by humans no they’re a random numberΒ Β  100,000 higher half a million sharks higherΒ  5 million higher it’s over 100 million a yearΒ Β  so uh sharks are mainly being killed for theirΒ  fins for their meat and then from things likeΒ Β 

Bik catch and Sport Fishing um so basically thisΒ  is really unsustainable because sharks have veryΒ Β  slow reproduction rate so they can’t really keepΒ  up with the rate that we are killing them at andΒ Β  this makes them very susceptible to Extinction soΒ  most species are IND dangered now which is reallyΒ Β 

Really horrible and over the past 10 years aboutΒ  60% of shark populations have declined so it’sΒ Β  a really big problem that a lot of people aren’tΒ  aware of um which is why we do this we like givingΒ Β 

You guys this information and you guys can do whatΒ  you want with it um but like I said chk pinning isΒ Β  probably the biggest problem right now killingΒ  about 73 million sharks a year um what they doΒ Β 

Is Target sharks for their fins once they get aΒ  shark on board they cut off the fence and thenΒ Β  just throw the shark back into the water so it’sΒ  a completely cruel practice very very sad uh it’sΒ Β 

Also very wasteful so the fins only make up 2%Β  of the body um and like I said the rest of theΒ Β  body is just wasted so very cruel very wastefulΒ  very unsustainable um and these fins are used inΒ Β 

Shark fin soup uh which is a delicacy in AsianΒ  countries and basically people of High statusΒ Β  eat this soup which is why there’s such a highΒ  demand for it um shark meat and shark fins areΒ Β  actually very toxic to us because of the highΒ  amounts of mercury that it contains so there’sΒ Β 

Really no good reason that we should be killingΒ  sharks um for consumption especially 73 million aΒ Β  year like that’s crazy to even think about uh butΒ  a lot of people also aren’t aware of how importantΒ Β  sharks are for the ocean and the ecosystem umΒ  so since they’re an apex predator they sit atΒ Β 

The top of the food web and they’re in charge ofΒ  keeping the whole food web balanced so if we takeΒ Β  sharks out of the ocean the whole food web wouldΒ  collapse um and basically the ocean Health wouldΒ Β  just go downhill really really quickly anotherΒ  thing that people aren’t aware of is how longΒ Β 

Sharks have been evolving for about 400 millionΒ  million years um that’s another reason why it’sΒ Β  so important that we protect them they have soΒ  many roles in the ocean um one of their mainΒ Β  roles is to kind of act as like the white bloodΒ  cells of the immune system by going after animalsΒ Β 

Are weak injured and ill and basically what thisΒ  does is prevents the spread of disease keeps theΒ Β  gene pools healthy prevents overpopulation allΒ  of that good stuff um so they’re so important forΒ Β  the ocean ecosystem um and this is affecting usΒ  because the ocean produces 80% of our oxygen so weΒ Β 

Do need sharks in the water so that we have cleanΒ  oxygen to breathe um everything on this planet isΒ Β  connected every future has a right to be here umΒ  so what we ask you guys to do is to use your voiceΒ Β 

To spread awareness uh the best thing you can doΒ  is tell everyone what you did today you guys wentΒ Β  with like eight goopo sharks a tiger shark peopleΒ  have never even seen a shark in real life so umΒ Β 

Just telling people about your experience um howΒ  we can easily and peacefully coexist how they’reΒ Β  not the man eting monsters like jaws and the mediaΒ  petray and the bee um they get a really bad repΒ Β 

And um so anything you guys can do to talk aboutΒ  sharks in a positive way kind of change the imageΒ Β  of sharks um because people won’t protect whatΒ  they don’t understand so social media is a greatΒ Β 

Way to do that your guys is YouTube um that’s aΒ  really good way to get the media out there andΒ Β  tell everyone um about how amazing sharks areΒ  and how important they are and things like thatΒ Β  um you guys can donate to nonprofit organizationsΒ  that go to shark conservation uh Beach cleanupsΒ Β 

Just anything you guys can do to kind of help theΒ  ocean and help the sharks um but thank you guysΒ Β  so much do you guys have any questions questionsΒ  about what you saw in the water or just sharksΒ Β 

In general h no that was amazing thank you andΒ  there were some sharks which were like injuredΒ Β  yeah so we see a lot of sharks with injuries mostΒ  of it is human impact like from fishing or fromΒ Β 

Boat props and things like that um sometimes weΒ  do see mating scars but most of the time it’sΒ Β  human impact which is really really sad um toΒ  see that um but yeah a lot of times when theyΒ Β 

Are injured that makes us makes it easier for themΒ  to ident for us to identify them um um but it isΒ Β  really really sad to see human impacts on sharksΒ  I saw one with a like a fishing line attached toΒ Β 

It there was one with a fishing line and I sawΒ  that shark a couple days ago and the line wasΒ Β  longer so someone cut it so which is good doingΒ  what we can to help the Sharks yeah yep that’sΒ Β 

Unfortunate man it’s crazy to see with your ownΒ  eyes it is it’s crazy yeah especially the tigerΒ Β  sharks it’s just amazing you guys all saw it rightΒ  they the cute shark so D the tiger sharks usuallyΒ Β 

Just roam around like that like in like one tigerΒ  sh yeah so yeah they’re usually just alone um butΒ Β  yeah they just kind of roam around sometimesΒ  they’re a bit more bold it just depends on umΒ Β 

The tiger shark they’re like humans each shark hasΒ  a personality so some of them are like really boldΒ Β  and they want to get like up and close some ofΒ  them just Cruise right below us yeah it was alsoΒ Β 

Like it was a smaller shark or was it a big fishΒ  it was like there was a big there was a big fish tuna a couple of your guys’ pictures you guysΒ  see yellow fins in there too huh kind we getΒ Β 

So many things wow that’s amazing but we allΒ  made it back in one piece just kidding justΒ Β  kidding I hope you guys had a great dive thatΒ  was a really good one awes and then we’ll getΒ Β  your shoes out and everything will be goodΒ  all right so that shark diving Adventure wasΒ Β 

Pretty intense honestly it was a lot a lot moreΒ  chill than I was expecting I thought that I wasΒ Β  going to have a panic attack under the waterΒ  but everything was pretty smooth we had someΒ Β  great instructors and definitely I recommendΒ  coming on out and booking a tour with deep EcoΒ Β 

Blues um some of the best the best tour guidesΒ  we’ve had in a very long time now we’re havingΒ Β  some asai and then we’re about to hop onto theΒ  bus and make our way back to wakiki let me knowΒ Β 

What you guys thought of this video let meΒ  know if you guys um would participate in aΒ Β  shark diving Adventure or would you just leaveΒ  that up to me but seriously if you’re ever inΒ Β  a in a region of the world where they offerΒ  shark diving encounters especially without aΒ Β 

Cage I highly recommend it you will not regret itΒ  and of course you have to pay for those photo andΒ Β  video packages which you’re which I’m sure you’reΒ  going to be seeing both on here and on InstagramΒ Β 

Um by the time this video is posted becauseΒ  yeah they do take around 5 to 7 days but thatΒ Β  is an additional add-on that is not includedΒ  with the tourque but obviously if you’re umΒ Β  jumping into an open water with a bunch of uhΒ  tiger sharks and galopago sharks you’re goingΒ Β 

To want to take home some memories with you guysΒ  but for now I’m going to enjoy my asaio and I’llΒ Β  see you guys again for another adventure fromΒ  from here in Hawaii we still have a few moreΒ Β
