Are you afraid of Sharks? Black-tip reef Sharks may look scary but they are completely harmless: see for yourself by diving with freedom-divers.com
Clips of Thailand's Black tip reef sharks, normally very shy, these guys were perfectly comfortable around us. Trick with sharks (may sound obvious) is to not move, and they will come to you, wait long enough and they'll get close like in these clips.

![GoPro: Scuba diving with Giant Crocodile HD
Short video featuring a crazy dive in a swamp with a Siamese Crocodile http://freedom-divers.com
In may 2012, our Cinematographer, Nico Lurot, visited a crocodile sanctuary in North-Eastern Thailands Surin province. While there, we leanrt that it was possible to get in the water and film these prehistoric reptiles at your own risk. After some serious, serious deliberation and a great deal of hesitation, there was only 1 likmely outcome:
Underwater + dangerous animal = amazing footage opportunity!
How could we pass on such a great chance!?
Of course, we didnt, but there was as few times where the Croc got way to friendly for our liking. As youll see while watching, there are 2 or 3 times where the big Croc has a serious bite in our direction.
Weve been in the water with Tiger Sharks, Killer Whales, Bull Sharks, and incorrectly thought the the same techniques could be applied to a Croc: in other words, give the animal plenty of room, be wary of any erratic behaviour, and always have a means to exit the water quickly.
Well, as we learnt while filming this modern dinosaur, the skills are not transferable from fiulming sharks and whales to filming a croc! We were given a few serious scares, but having come out unscathed, we wouldnt trade this experience for anything! Terrifying, yes, but oh, so worth it!
Would you dare?

A short showreel of some footage of Black Tip Reef Sharks that frequent the waters surrounding Koh Phi Phi in Thailand. One must be vigilant even when dealing with Reef Sharks, especially to get close up shots like we did in this footage.
