Underwater photographers search the depths off Hawaii for the dangerous and seldom seen oceanic white tip shark. Using their cameras for defense, they demonstrate how to survive an encounter with the predator responsible for the deaths of hundreds of shipwreck victims including those of the U.S.S. Indianapolis. In the shallow Bahaman waters, a scientist shows how to avoid being attacked by bull sharks using relaxation methods and body language technique.
