Submarine Gets Extra Close Encounter With Shark

View this post on Instagram

Another sneak peek from our successful attempt to tag a bluntnose sixgill shark using a submarine. This is from the phone of Dr. Gavin Naylor, the scientist who fired the successful shot on the final dive of four. We had cameras by @reddigitalcinema rigged up in the sub—an official video with that footage is coming soon. #oceanx with thanks to @ceibahamas and @bloombergdotorg Vibrant Oceans Initiative. . . . #marinebiology #shark #sharks #sharklove #saveoursharks #bluntnose #bluntnosesixgill #deepseacreatures #oceanexploration #submersible #submarine #cinematography #shotonred #documentary #filmmaking #filmmakers #wildlife #marinewildlife #wildlifedocumentary #blueplanet2 #ocean #sea

Marine biologists seem to keep scoring the jackpot with deep water cameras. OceanX recently got some uncomfortably close footage of a bluntnose six-gill shark while doing research in a submarine. Thankfully, no sharks were swallowed whole by a giant fish in this video—yeah we’re talking about you grouper fish, you sneaky bastard.
