Large Bull Shark Encounter Offshore Jacksonville

5-18-14

While attempting to collect underwater imagery today for an upcoming production effort, a large female Bull Shark (or possibly a Sandbar Shark) decided to circle us a several times. The brief video clip shows some footage from two different camera divers; Joe Kistel (using a full-frame camera) Ed Kalakauskis (using the West Marine Go-Pro camera) . The imagery was captured at a sunken barge artificial reef in about 80 feet of water. See the video below.

Cameraman Larry Davis was also underwater filming, but was so focused on filming other aspects of the reef that he never saw the bull shark.
