I can't believe that they use ropes instead of cables on the equipment and cages that they send down. Those sharks can easily bite through those ropes.

This was either last year or year before Shark Week, it blew me away, the consensus before was males max out at 17 maybe 18 feet and this was anecdotal. To find 2 20ft males and the female Deep Blue at 21 ft makes me sure there are possible 23-24 and maybe even real life JAWS at 25 ft. If males have been proven to grow 3 ft longer than thought, Deep Blue or another 21 ft female could hit 24 ft if survived long enough. I think that was the best shark week ever, it wasn’t as great this year, nothing against Johnny Knoxville but I could do without Jackass in my shark docs. I’ll watch both but please don’t mix them.

​@samholcombe3129 Females max out at around 20 feet, and males can grow bigger than females in time! It's all about time, and males get killed far more often than females! Males also mature much faster than females at around 25 years old to be able to mate, while females are after the age 33 and more closer to almost 40. So when we're comparing the 2 GWs we are comparing a male at at 26 and a female almost 40, so the obvious is the females seem to be bigger, but when comparing the Same ages males are bigger! Once great whites get beyond 16 ft or so they are to big to hunt seals, if they are in California they move on to Elephant seals because their much slower and provide more calories! But all the biggest ones mainly eat dead whales! Currently we don't know where the biggest GWS are hiding! Much of what we have known was wrong! But at such late ages to be able to have pups as a female and males have to be older than 25, they're being killed faster than they can replace themselves! But when great white sharks are around that means the ocean is really healthy. Seals bring sharks, and sharks keep the seal pops in control! Currently Cape Cod MA is the NEW GW capital of the world!

While yeah, White sharks do have a pretty varied diet, humans simply don't have enough nutritional value to sustain something like a White shark. There are obviously few exceptions, like the very unfortunate and tragic case of Simon Nellist's death, but those exceptions are very rare. The shark that attacked Simon was probably having trouble getting the food it needs and turned to Simon as a last resort as unfortunate as it is. Sharks, just like humans, like eating what they're familiar with. White sharks are familiar with seals, sea lions, fish, rays, dolphins, whales, and other sharks. They're not familiar with humans, so if given the choice, they'd rather eat something they're familiar with

That's smart taunt and play with sharks near the coast. Teaching sharks to hunt closer to the shoreline

We're not on their menus, but the cages are because they chum up the waters and throw hundred pound chunks of tuna tied to ropes causing them to go into a frenzy! They don't want to wait for hours or days to get the big ones in to film, plus much of it is weather permitted and oceans can get really ruff, many of the filming sites are far from any help! Watch when divers go into the water with the GWS when there's no food, and their behaviors aren't aggressive or when a dead whale is there and there isn't competition for food! When there's tons of fish blood and chunks of tuna in the water, they tease the sharks by pulling away the food to keep them coming back up to be seen, this obviously gets the sharks going nuts, and exactly what they want to do to give a shark show!

Even the free divers have the water chummed before they go down into the water. All of this has and will continue to condition sharks to associate us with food.
