As a recently qualified keyboard marine biologist ,I can allay everybody's fears ,this is not a great white shark ! but quite clearly and without doubt ,a near record ten spined stickleback!!!.

To me and my knowledge of sharks it's a Basking Shark. If you look at it's behaviour it's not really interested in you, it swims away but not in any hurry. I put this down to being because they're filter feeders and have no real reason to bump/mouth larger objects (such as a jetski) because they won't eat it. Most of the footage and info I've seen about Great Whites suggest they are inquisitive and like to know what large objects in their vicinity are, which they test through bumping, sight and mouthing. This would be especially true for a GW in unknown waters such as those off Pembrokeshire. Either way probably one of those moments you'll never forget. Great video pal! (Ps your reaction is priceless)

Might they and other sharks leave because they were disturbed?

There are a few reasons why I'm convinced that the footage shows a basking shark. Firstly, the footage is apparently from the UK coastline and it's a known fact that basking sharks are to be found in these waters. Secondly, the sedate manner of its swimming at the surface is characteristic of basking sharks as they are filter feeders and spend most of their time at the surface, hence it's name: basking shark (admittedly, however, other sharks - including great whites - can swim slowly at the surface, too). Thirdly, there is a brief point around 1:18 into the footage when you can observe a larger section of its caudal fin and the subterminal notch (i.e. the 'extra' flap near the top of the tail) it's that of a basking shark. The great white shark's subterminal notch isn't as pronounced as that of the basking shark. With regards to great white sharks, the nearest verified sighting of one to UK waters was off the coast of La Rochelle, France, in 1977. That's approximately 400 miles south of South Wales.

​@@mrianwonder6527could also be a shortfin mako or porbeagle, the later have been filmed as far in as right beside the rocks in Pembrokeshire before where there was line fishing going on. Also the fact the man in this video was fishing suggests to me that could be why the shark was attracted to the area in the first place. Personally I would never rule out the possibility of great whites in Pembrokeshire, the area has several seal colonies and I have heard first hand from marine life tour operators who have seen large predatory sharks that were definitely not basking sharks in Pembrokeshire waters, and these people see enough basking sharks to tell the difference.

I'm not a biologist but I do have a serious interest in zoology. The main reason I am sure White sharks are present in the Channel at least is that a man who I respect and trust implicitly told me he saw one very clearly and very closely. He is a pilot and also sails his yacht out of Salcombe in South Devon. He saw the shark on one of his trips about 2 miles off the coast at a,place called the Skerries Bank off Dartmouth. He was,able to be certain as the shark was in calm clear water at a depth of about 2 feet and crucially he had, the year before been in a cage in the water off the coast of South Africa watching them first hand. Anecdotal of course but an extremely reliable source in my opinion. Cheers guys.

British water condition are perfect for great white sharks, the water in South Africa is far colder than the water in Cornwall. Sharks that have been tracked have been found to travel 100s of miles from one country to another, some even pass through the English Channel.

I wouldnt be so sure we don't have Great Whites in UK waters.There have been a number of significant sightings over the last few years,some very close to shore.While these sightings couldve been misidentified and are Porbeagles. As the Porbeagle and the Great White share alot of the same characteristics for survival and are closely related in specie, it is not to hard to believe that there are Great Whites in our waters. As the saying goes " There is no history of anything, until its happened"

Defo not a great white....it’s clearly a basking shark...clear to see from the tail movement and fins width

Without any doubt, a Basking Shark. Mouth wide open with it’s dorsal fin and tail occasionally breaking out of the water. It’s tail and rear body moving from side to side as it swims slowly forward filtering plankton from the water with it’s gills.

1:37 is that the shark following u when u look back?

100% a basking shark. The way it moves and its size and fins. At that size it could only be a basking shark, white shark or large mako or porbeagle but nether of those sharks move like that. You can see lots of basking sharks off the Cornish coast with binoculars and if you are lucky they often come in very close to some popular beaches. It is very likely that white sharks visit our waters but it's no cause for concern as even in places where they are abundant they are rarely seen or come into contact with people. They are more likely to swim off which is also why this is a basking shark as it wasn't spooked by the jet ski.

For anyone interested-this specific area is called Mwnt, in Pembrokeshire, Wales. it is my favourite place in the world and has been since I was about 6. Mwnt is known for its dolphin activity which I have always loved watching in the sunset, it is also known for baskin sharks, they are harmless to us and don’t have teeth, they feed off plankton etc. There is a lovely campsite on that hill and a little church and steps down the cliff to that little beach, after lockdown I am going to this campsite for at least a fortnight as I live in England now and miss home, I highly recommend visiting!

whites all have a tail similar to a basking shark. there is absolutely nobody on earth who can "guarantee" the species of that shark just by seeing that video of its fins.

Just to make clear that Great Whites are warm blooded and as such the water temperature has no bearing on it`s location. The driver is food supply. I agree that the South and West coasts are most frequently the scene of sightings but I would venture that this is due to the high presence of a major food source, seals. I live in Pembrokeshire and we have instances of seals being washed up having been mortally wounded by unknown creatures. One of these carcasses was sent to an expert in South Africa and he was left in the dark as to where it had been found. He said that without question the injuries were inflicted by a Great White.

@chrispaw1

Great Whites are NOT warm blooded at all and that explains why you're very unlikely to ever catch sight of one of the even the Southernmost UK coast, it's typical fisherman tales, Great Whites are only partially warm blooded so still prefer a certain sea temperature, maybe in 20-30 yrs as the sea warms it could become a more realistic sighting....

@Rottenbottomrob

White sharks are able to prey on such large creatures with their large upper teeth, which are triangular in shape and sharply serrated to cut large pieces of flesh from prey. The bottom teeth are narrower and used to hold prey. An unusual characteristic the white sharks (shared by other mackerel sharks and thresher sharks, Family Alopiiidae) is the ability to maintain parts of their body (swimming muscles, stomach, and brain) at temperatures above that of the surrounding water, which classifies them as endothermic or warm-blooded, like mammals. Great white sharks, Carcharodon carcharias, have one of the widest geographic ranges of any marine animal. They are found in all cold temperate and tropical waters, from 60°N latitude to 60°S latitude. They were long thought to be primarily coastal inhabitants; however, from recent satellite tracking studies we now know that they migrate long distances, sometimes crossing entire ocean basins. Two pieces taken from the Marinebio site. In case you are unaware, Marinebio are one of the worlds most respected marine conservation societies. These facts are widely available and its difficult to find somewhere reputable that does not agree that White Sharks are endothermic ie warm blooded. The above info supports my original comment of course.

At 2:10-2:16 i saw splashes on the right next to the cliff.waves hitting the rocks or could somthin b feeding at surface...id bet theres G.W.s in these waters, there are seals and shark hiding spots along the surf...Canada's has them in there chilly waters🤷

To see a shark in British waters would be an awesome sight.Live and let live we are not alone on this planet.

Most likely Basking Shark in this case, dorsal fin does seem triangular in shape, although on the small side. Reality is it could be any number of shark species, very difficult to from grainy vids of the fins alone. Personally I'm convinced Great whites are here in summer months at least and believe the reason they've never been confirmed is due to the assumption every large shark sighted is a basking shark, even when those people were not there to confirm this and sightings occurred in areas known for seals and other marine life that great whites predate on. I'm confident great whites will be confirmed in UK waters at some point in the near future and I'm tempted to go out and probe it myself. I'm more afraid of diving in Pembrokeshire than I ever was in the med where whites have already been and confirmed. I have seen greater diversity of marine life in UK and have encountered other shark species within metres of the shoreline whereas I have always found the med to be largely baron of marine life due to over fishing & never had a single sighting of any type of shark in either hundreds of dives or while working as a boat tour guide out there. The water temps are also very comparable and sometimes even warmer in UK during summer months than those in the med, which is a lot chillier by the way than people think. We know the Med has White Sharks but we believe the UK does not? Honestly I think that is a cope from people who don't want to admit that they are here too, just elusive, probably because brits are hermits and we simply don't spend as much time in and around the water as other cultures do.

Lol loved this video

basking shark !!

One billion to the dozen? What's this mean?

"I'm F****** OFF!!"

Brave guy!!!!

Settle down folks! This shark only eats the tiniest of morsels in the seas and oceans! Look at the leisurely way it was swimming! Most likely, as said before, a Basking Shark and harmless to humans!

i believe a basing shark also.

Definitely a Loch Ness monster

Spooky!
