GoPro Awards: Ocean Ramsey and a Whale Shark
Спорт
Captured and submitted by GoPro Awards recipients Ocean Ramsey and Juan Oliphant.
Join shark biologist and freediver Ocean Ramsey as she films with whale sharks in the Philippines to document migrating populations. Whale shark populations are at an all-time low due to finning, fishing by catch, entanglement, speedboat prop collisions, and death by ingestion of floating debris.

Swam with one of these on a reef off Santa Rosa Island in the Santa Barbara channel when I was doing commercial abalone diving in the 70's. Not possible to describe what an otherworldly experience it is but Ocean and her crew nailed it
what a beautiful and graceful creature. the sharks kinda cool too edit: wrote this is highschool big yikes yall

In a place where there are a lot of tourists and boats, it is challenging to collect video clips without tourists or boats. This means that some of the footage probably had tourists or boats in it, and the editor of the video had to remove them without interrupting the flow of the video.

This is in Cebu. Local fisherman feed them and use as a tourist attraction. You can see canoe with a fisherman in front of the shark on 0:33. Usually there are hundreds of people up there.
I've done this with Ocean and her crew recently in Hawaii. She is very down to earth and has dedicated her life to educating people on the behavior of sharks. This video just doesn't do justice to meeting her in person and snorkeling by her side. Her passion for what she believes in leaves an impression on anyone who is strong enough to experience her cause. It was truely unforgettable.

Majestic. Nature is so beautiful.

so calm music and footage

It's a beautiful video. Both creatures in the video are gorgeous. There are some truly amazing edits. The one where the shark is practically swallowing a waterfall...amazing. I wonder what that would have looked like to people on the boat!! Also loved the one where the two are swimming aide by side, I mean the difference in size...!!! PS- I don't get why so many comments are about the woman. Not saying it's bad. Just don't get it. Like, have they never seen anyone in a bikini before? Besides, I personally feel all swimmers have a terrific body..and all that gear they put on makes it all super duper cool.
That is one fine biologist, damn.

Saw an Whaleshark in Egypt near Makadi Bay next to our Hotel Reef. Huge experience that wouldnt happened without many luck. I will Never forget it.
This video was filmed in Oslob, Cebu, where whale sharks are being fed by fishermen to keep them in the shallow waters nearby the coast so tourists can pay for an unnatural interaction with them. This activity is causing huge implications for shrimp populations in the regions around Cebu as they are heavily fished as a source of food to feed these whale sharks. A team there called LAMAVE (Marine Conservation NGO) is doing great work to document these human interactions with these sharks to understand the full impacts of this sort of eco-tourism over a long period of time. However this 'shark biologist' has done no scientific work or documentation on the whale sharks at Oslob at all and has simply just come for a easy way to 'swim' with juvenile whale sharks. If Ocean Ramsey were a marine biologist, she would understand not to promote this kind of activity on youtube as it has potentially harmful environmental impacts for both the sharks that are unnaturally having their behaviour altered there as well as the damage to the ecosystem caused by overfishing.

WOW! Amazing! Thank You for this footage!
I absolutely love the part where the shark and the diver are both vertical. I've never seen a shot like that, especially with a whale shark. My only issue with this video is that ik whale sharks are protected and aren't allowed to be touched, but it appeared that she touched the whale shark's pectoral fin. Sometimes, biologists and certain agencies can get permits for placing GPS tags or taking samples but never for simply taking pictures and videos. How did you get access and permission to touch this whale shark, or did you just do it and not even care that you might be violating any laws?

@Texas240

You're right that some of her vids make it seem like she's downplaying the danger. However, she is aware. You have to realize that she's been swimming with and observing sharks for almost 2 decades, since internet was "AOL" and on a dial up connection. She's going to have an innate understanding of their body language that can make it seem as though she's being flippant. Her own words on the subject, from an interview 4 years ago: "They are such efficient apex predators. Trust me. If they wanted to eat you, they could. A lot of people don't give them credit for that." She said this while pointing out that in the vast majority of human and shark encounters, sharks usually choose not to bite. There are only about 50 bite incidents worldwide per year (despite all the humans dipping their toes into the ocean at beaches) that result in fewer than 10 deaths. In an interview in Australia, she was asked about the possibility of being eaten by a shark and she said it was a possibility and considered it an "occupational hazard, no different than a roofer risking falling off a roof." You may not agree with the comparison, but she is admitting the potential danger.
How could anyone give this a thumbs down? Way cool video!
1:42 wow.

Instead it's mostly the tiny bikini, tight ass and average tits of the woman who wanted to be in the middle of the frame showing off her tits, bikini and tight arse in a video called 'whale shark.... whatever' just to get the clicks. It's a shame stupid people like you get to live a full life cycle nowadays, you steal oxygen and resources and give nothing of value or meaning back into the world, then expect and demand that 'it' and everyone else owes you something for your hardships.

Blue Sifer that’s the thing though, whale shark was the focal point of the video... If you actually paid attention to how much screen time and attention it gets from the camera... I have a hard time believing anything you said in the beginning given that you ONLY focused on how much screen time the woman gets, it just appears sort of pathetic and resentful. The only complaint you should have about the video is the encouragement of swimming with Whale Sharks, since a lot of fishermen screw with how and where whale sharks feed so that they can get money for tourist attraction, which in turn makes the shrimp population unchecked in some area’s. If the woman in the video was a real biologist, she’d be against such indulgence.
