My friends and I recently converged in Hawaii for a reunion of sorts, and it was truly amazing. This is a video of the five of us sitting in a shark cage off the north shore of Oahu.
What an experience. What’s missing from this raw footage is me puking off the deck afterwards — above a circling shark that seems to be waiting for chunks like a dog for scraps. All he got was ingested seawater, though, which — on top of hyperventilation, lack of sleep, and crazy waves that almost made our tour guides call the whole thing off — is what I blame for the expulsion.
More media from this trip to come. I converted/compressed this vid down to about 80MB, so depending on your connection you might have a better viewing experience downloading it first by right-clicking the Quicktime link above.

some beautiful shots! i must confess i was hoping to see more of your expressions.
if you ever do a remix i think you could jazz it up with some VO — from both the sharks and yourselves.
