This video is a little overdramatized…I swam with blacktip sharks in Tahiti when I was pregnant. They are definitely not something to be scared of.
And why is batman here?… Joker ain't here so why is he?
Hug the shoreline like you hug you're girl
“BLACKTIP” dubstep starts playing
Shark fin soup is the answer to new Smyrna's problems
When did national geographic and discovery become so dramatised and hyped up?? It’s ruined it
Don’t worry about black tips btw they are not the ones you want to worry about
I had thalassaphobia before…. This isn't helping
i’m going to daytona beach in the end of march and now i’m really scared
Are there sharks out there?
Well let me see, it's the Atlantic Ocean.
Umm, sharks live in the ocean.
Umm. Maybe.
We New Smyrna beach goers prefer shark bite capital…they’re not attacks, they sharks are curious and we are in their environment. They don’t have hands to feel things out..so they use their mouths. This is science. I remember when National Geographic was legit. This is just embarrassing. Take it from someone who grew up swimming here. Or don’t.
I came down to daytona to roof in 2015, and my whole crew went swimming and the next day a local coworker asked what we did the night before. We told him we all went body surfing in new smyrna. He said…yall are insane. Did u ever workder why yall were the only ones out there swimming at night? Never again
Why isn’t this beach CLOSED.
If they know the stupidity of humans and how they still decide to swim knowing the danger
Why not just close it and make it illegal to swim in it?
Com’on
I live in Florida at the beach and Sharks are not really a threat don’t bother them and they don’t bother you just don’t look like there food
September to November I really thought I could go because it was March 18 but then he said March😳 to April☠️
The bottom line is New Smyrna Beach is the shark capital of the world!!!!!!
Human beings must learn to have a respect for marine life
Bringing your children to this beach is child abuse.
New Smyrna, just rent a killer whale from SeaWorld and let it swim there for a bit, Florida waters would be clear of sharks for a year.
It's a case of mistaken identity for swimmers ! Nope those are NOT nurse shark ! …….There black tip ……… ! Told you…….I win ! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I prefer jogging thru Africa with a large ham sandwich strapped to my back…
i was the beach a month ago i was in the water and saw a black tip shark fin 50 feet away from me
Me: So let me find cool things to do in this beach since I've just booked a hotel.
Youtube: Here you go buddy….
Them: Boast about it being the shark bite capital of the world
Also them. Still swims at that beach.
Who would want to get in ocean water known for sharks
Aint any of y'all watch what happened in that jaws movie SMH
I often wonder, were sharks kind of taught to eat humans, by humans.
I mean crime syndicates and killers have been using the ocean to dispose of bodies for who knows how long.
Maybe this is why sharks go after humans, because they've been fed bodies for so long.
If you go in, use these, seasnakers.
we almost move there
I been here it fine
To think I was swimming in that beach in April thinking wow there's hardly anybody at the beach. Its so nice here. I have to come back.
Blacktips will bite you but hardly ever kill anyone. So yeah you could get bitten here but you’re not gonna die
The fact that I’m at this beach rn
Wow… Over 200 attacks since we started recording shark attacks. I'm a surfer who surfs these waters and Duval county waters and that scared me almost as much as the fact that 38,000 people died last year in auto accidents in the United States. Good thing I don't know anyone that's been bit by sharks… However, I do know quite a few people who have been in auto accidents, myself included.
I always go here with my grandparents, I live in ny and this is why I don’t go in the water
Why don't they use shark nets?
If your kid got bit they would instantly become 100X cooler than you
There are to many death in usa sea..
People have no idea the difference between a curious or mistaken bite and an attack. If sharks were attacking you’d be dead and their would be aloooooot more “attacks” not just once in a while.
I LITERALLY PETTED A SHARK ACCIDENTALLY IN FL. HAD NO IDEA UNTIL SOME ONE SCREAMED SHARK TINY BULL I THINK IT BUMPED ME I NEVER LEFT THOUGH UNTIL TOLD TO IDK IT WAS WILD
1:04 IS I'M NOT EVEN JOKING ME AS A LITTLE KID WITH MY DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"This problem must be solved" what problem? Sharks being in their waters? Frick off
I've had sharks swim right past me a few times even brushing up against me. They are everywhere
I always go here i miss my car 🙃🙃
I surf at new Smyrna beach all the time and honestly, it’s not as scary as everyone thinks it is. Within a year, I’ll probably see about 25 sharks while I’m surfing, most of them being blacktips. I’m not stupid, so every time I see a shark, I get out of the water, but they usually won’t attack you without a reason. But I definitely recommend that you stay out of the waters if you don’t have a surfboard or any floating board. But usually they don’t really care for humans, sometimes they come to check me out but they haven’t ever attacked me yet(and I hope they never do).
So, in conclusion, sharks aren’t as scary and vicious as everyone makes them out to be, but they are still to be feared, and if you see one, get out of the water immediately.
Catch the Bull sharks and the great whites and re locate them to the soil. Australia has 3 times more fatal attacks because obviously more bigger sharks frequently visit our beaches. The Bullsharks and great whites should be slaughtered
The blacktips are your friends they hunt and kill bull shark pups if you remove the reef sharks you’ll become infested with large bull sharks which will result in 5 times more fatal attacks
