I only thought small fish cleaned off the sharks skin - never knew big fish did it too! It's amazing how the white doesn't want to eat it! How does he 'know' to leave it alone this time and that it wants to clean him. It's so cool.

Me too. Pretty cool to see bigger fish do it as well.

As someone who grew up on nature documentaries and Steve Irwin I love the work you do ❤

Amazing footage!

As a sailor and active diver I spent nearly 5 years sailing and diving Mexico and the South Pacific. It is amazing the percentage of sea creatures that have human garbage and fishing gear attached to their bodies.

I didn’t know what to expect from the title knowing what razor sharp teeth Barracudas have. How fantastic to find out that indeed the “bite” was beneficial to the white shark to rid it of external parasites. I love that nature finds ways to have these symbiotic relationships between creatures and they innately know. The knowledge is just there. Thank you as always Carlos, for the beauty and the education ❤ 🦈

Thank you for following along! I really appreciate you take the time to comment every time. It really helps. Views are significantly down these days, so I'm likely going to have to start making either less videos or big changes. It's concerning.

@@TheMalibuArtist you are so welcome. I actually shared this video with about 10 of my friends on Facebook Messenger with a note about the other videos you do and told them to check out your videos because they were so amazing. I’m really glad I did that now Carlos. ❤️ I will definitely share more now I know the situation. It may help you to know it’s happened to another animal video creator too. There are a few saying the “algorithm” has been changed. Perhaps that maybe why? Just a thought. Take care. You bring joy to me and many others. ❤️

I don't know if you heard of chafing before Carlos, but that is a temporary relation between fish and sharks when fish rub themselves against the shark's skin to relieve an itching. Even smaller sharks seek out larger sharks (like whale sharks) to get a good scratch. It's very fun to watch, though; as is your work.

Thanks Travis, I did a full video about chafing a few months ago. It's pretty cool behavior.

The 'cuda is probably pissed that the white shark tried to eat him in the other vid you posted, and he's getting back at him.

That was incredible footage of the barracudas and the ray swimming through them! I imagine you must be capturing so much never before seen!

You always have the most interesting and amazing videos. I hope that fishing line on the sharks dorsal fin doesn’t slowly become embedded and amputate the fin. Those barracuda schools were huge. I didn’t know they even did that. Thanks for another great video.

Learn more everyday when I watch your videos and seeing the shark batting a piece of wood with its dorsal fin is a great moment I remember. Barracudas following a shark shows again if needed that shark's especially GWS are not just killers they have other sorts of relationships with sea life. Thank you

Every single time I watch one of your videos, I am amazed at the obvious amount of time and work that has gone into the making of your videos. Thank you.

G'day from Perth in Western Australia 👋 Am looking forward to this 😎 Love your videos! 🤙 ✌️❤ 🇦🇺

The Barracuda tails sparkle in the water. A glittery gold which is gorgeous! Thank you again for all your time and footage.

Another wonderful film. Thanks for continuing to educate & entertain.

We learn more in one 9 minute video here than we do the entirety of shark week. Awesome work Carlos, so interesting

Thank you for the wonderful soothing Adventure👏😍🌊🦈

Definitely some great shots! Calming and informative. Keep up the great work!

Rays display effortless grace gliding through the ocean. Rays also seem sure of the fate that awaits them while approaching a white shark. I have a newly found respect for rays.

This is so zen in both the cinematography and the narration. Thank you for such great content; your hard work is appreciated

Too kind! Thank you!

I love our wild oceans. I had an encounter with a barracuda in Virgin Gorda while snorkeling. It was hanging out under rock shelf. Over thirty years ago, but still remember. I even got an underwater photo. Grateful for the chance encounter.

Unfortunately, I'm a "landlubber" but I really appreciate your excellent films about marine life. Thank you also for this great post!

I’m living far from the sea , but I love watching those awesome videos .

I have come to deeply appreciate and admire the work you do here! The excellent footage, your melodic voiceover, the calming music…. Your excellent descriptive content!! Having said all that, may I share this on my FB feed and turn my friends on to your work? I believe this is in my top 10 favorite of your videos . Well done, sir !💙🙏🏼🌎

Thanks for the link to that study, Carlos, great source! A few other interesting ones on their site 👍🏼

Beautiful scenery, very informative and a touch of nice music. All very well balanced, it was a pleasure to watch. Thank you for taking your time to put it together. It made me subscribe to your channel.

As a spearfisher who overcame a fear of the ocean to now enjoy it deeply, I love these videos because knowledge delivers you from fear. Knowing how these creatures behave gives me the ability to respect their instinct and dominance over me, and avoid challenging it or presenting myself as a snack.

Great to hear!

Great vid as usual. The kelp footage & especially the larger adult sharks cruising through is incredible. There has been a widely held belief that kelp forests & areas offer sanctuary & safety from large White Sharks. Recent adaptation and hunting strategy or just another case of something rarely witnessed which has always occurred ? Who knows…..beautiful footage as always.

This was really cool, and so well put together! I learn a lot from your videos. Can't wait to see more!!

You footage and research has been INVALUABLE. Please stay the course, if you can afford yo do so!

Thank you for bringing this out, There is so much we think we understand which in fact we do not understand.

So amazing and beautiful! 🤩 💙💙💙 Too bad it isn't possible to free that poor shark from his "fin ornament" 😔 Thank you for sharing! ❤❤❤

I just wanna say, I hope to become a shark biologist, as I’ve always had a great interest in sharks and their behavior, and every time I see you post a new video it’s a video I greatly look forward too. Thank you for your work, and don’t stop doing what you’re doing bro

Thank you so much for yet another informative and entertaining video 👌🏻

I've learned more from you and your videos on great whites than anything else in my 53 years. I used to be terrified of white sharks but I now think they're beautiful. Thank you!!

I absolutely love your videos❤I have an extreme fear + fascination with sharks & I recently found your channel & instantly subscribed! I appreciate all your time & dedication to make such quality videos 🙂

Thanks! As a scuba diver and a former resident of California who fled the state, I always figured that I could hide in kelp forests if I spied a large shark. Oops!

Fascinating and educational. Thanks for the work that you do!

Wow, that's just incredible footage!

You do an amazing job with your video's your one of the few narrators i enjoy listening to

Always learning something new from you!!!!❤

Your videos are always informative and beautiful. Thank you for sharing the ocean with us!

As always impressive footage and an alert to our impact on these marvelous creatures

I can't tell if I keep coming back for the incredible production value or the bottomless pool of knowledge. I'm thinking both.

Just like in a fish tank, the Fri hide in the plants/rocks till they get bigger. Thank you!

I love your videos. Congratulations

Great video, thx.

Almost every saltwater dive I’ve done there been Barracuda, they’re very territorial. Barracuda are also the fastest fish in the sea, when they bolt hard, they almost disappear. If a Barracuda wanted to attack a person, they’d never see it coming.

Absolutly fantastique videos. Great work, nice comment voice, nice music. Very relaxing.

Thank you for all the time and patience you have taken to film these momentous creatures. I think prey species play it cool around predator species. I found it easier to get close to other species while following a school of Tailor (Bluefish). You can observe this cool behaviour in two of my films on KZread, CottesloeTailor and Cottesloe Samson fish. Samson fish eat Tailor. See the Tailor at the beginning of Cottesloe Samson fish play "What's the time mister wolf?" Due to unusual prevailing easterlies (offshore breezes) during the past couple of months, flattenig the ocean, an unprecedented number of sharks have been spotted off Perth beaches, including a huge 5 m Great White. Most Great White attacks occur here in October, November and December when the sharks follow the southwards migration of whales for the Antarctica summer. That's when I don't go snorkeling!!!

This is bad ass… Keep up the good work!

I would imagine the dorsal fin has many functions, including scaring people when you see it poking up out of the water. Seriously though, I figure that the way they swim along for quite distances with the dorsal fin above the water potentially sends signals to the shark how high in the column it is. I wonder if it has temperature sensing nerve endings in it, like our fingertips?

For the first clip where it bats at the object with its fin, another interesting question is raised “why would it be doing that?” That looks an awful lot like play to me.

Some beautiful shots

These videos are always so beautiful.

My stepfather used to dive for Abalone. He would have been the first to tell you Great whites like kelp forests.

Amazing footage
