Plots(1)

A short clip depicting the beauty and gracefulness of tiger sharks. The film was shot in the Bahamas at a dive location called Tiger Beach. It depicts a typical day of diving on location and multiple close encounters with Tiger, Lemon and Caribbean Reef sharks. This video shows that sharks are not the mindless man-eating monsters that the media depicts them to be. They are creatures with character, curious. The film starts with the aerials of the dive team heading to the dive site where the sharks gather. The lead shark handler then jumps into the ocean full of sharks and heads to the bottom where two tiger sharks await. The movie then shows sharks up close. Not once do they appear threatening or dangerous even close. The final scenes then show man's interaction with the sharks from both the shark handler's and the videographer's perspective. The closing credit has been dedicated to the sharks with a plea to stop shark finning. A cruel practice that is driving sharks to extinction. (Mezinárodní festival outdoorových filmů)
