In this video, I finally capture a moment I knew was possible but would be hard to achieve. A great white shark and a gray whale together. It would require patience, research, and a bit of luck, but it's a moment that will rank high on my list of great white shark encounters to film. As an added bonus, I was fortunate enough to see a great white shark, a gray whale, and a dolphin in the frame.

One thing that your videos have definitely brought awareness to is that even if we can't see sharks at a surface level, they ARE there. Many times they leave us alone, but every single time you venture into the ocean you drop multiple levels on the food chain.

It does annoy me all this promoting being in the water with big sharks. No you shouldn't be in the water with a great white. Even just a curious nibble from the shark and you've lost an arm. Remember that video fo the Russian getting eaten by a tiger shark? His screams and all of it on camera. Keep that in mind and get out of the damn water if sharks have been spotted. That tiger shark had to be killed so his parents had something to bury.

Watching footage like this, I'm convinced that great whites are neighbors that sometimes hang out with others; sure you have to be cautious, but they aren't always hunting, that's only a sliver of their lives. Your patience in filming the coastline is astounding. Patience is a virtue, you certainly must be a virtuous person. Bless you and your work 💙.

I would love to see the whales off Point Vicente someday soon. I'm only a few miles from Palos Verdes and I grew up here, been on whale watch boats and interacted with them long ago. However, real life takes me away from the things I love, and this channel reminds me that I need to go see the whales again before I die. They are so beautiful and sometimes very playful off the coast in the shallows....they get rid of barnacles in the sand and I bet it feels wonderful to them; like a dog getting that perfect spot scratched.

I used to take my son to SoCal from Tx in the summer to experience the Pacific Ocean when he was a boy. It was always cold and fresh & seemed dark blue from shore. Seeing your & the Pacific’s artistry from above is an emergent expression of the Pacific we had no idea of. Even the color, clarity & light. If we had seen a shark we would have been scared no lie. Now he’s grown and I’m a freediver and shark diver in South Florida and I feel some kind of way watching your short films. Some day I hope to meet a white shark in person. I might even be a little unnerved still, but the adrenaline will feel like clarified meditation. - Jaríd Nidal Manos, writer

Nice display of strength from the whale. Stirs up sand and blows bubbles under the shark, limiting it’s breathing and vision. And the dolphins just seemed to be hanging back, making sure they’re seen. “We are too much work for you.” That was cool. Extraordinary. Thank you for hours of work it took for this.

the few times white shark predation on larger whale species has been observed (mostly on younger humpbacks and grey whales) they've gone after the area where the tail joins the body. no wonder that great white seemed to focus in on that section a few times. beautiful camera work as always!

Most amazing! I can appreciate the hours of patience seeking such a shot. I am reminded of a program I saw years ago when a nature photographer- Marty Stouffer - had an episode showing two small jungle cats encountering one another. The rarity of the situation was that both these cats ( different species) were primarily nocturnal and the recorded event happened in daylight, and each species do rare that that were seldom seen by mankind. For him to capture such an event had such a staggering numerical improbability that it truly unbelievable.
