One of the WORST Great White Shark Attacks of All Time

One of the WORST Great White Shark Attacks of All Time

It was the cold and ominous morning of January 5, 2023, when Manuel Lopez, a weathered fisherman in his 50s, readied himself to set sail into the treacherous waters of the Gulf of California. Known as the Sea of Cortez, this vast expanse of ocean boasts a vibrant ecosystem teeming with an array of marine creatures. Migratory species such as humpback whales, majestic manta rays, and ancient leatherback sea turtles called these waters home.
Manuel, a seasoned diver, and fisherman, heavily relied on the bounties of the sea to make a modest living. However, the Gulf of California harbored a menacing secret during December and January—a deadly migration of sharks in search of ample feeding opportunities. Rumors of these predatory beasts had been circulating among Mexican divers for days, with some unfortunate souls bearing witness to their terrifying presence.
Most seasoned fishermen opted to wait out this difficult period, taking refuge on land until the shark migration subsided. Yet, for Manuel, the pressures of financial stability pushed him to take a harrowing gamble. The demand for seafood was high due to local scarcity, and Manuel couldn't afford to let this opportunity pass him by.

My Wife, Daughter, and I were avid surfers mostly in Malibu and County Line, we were used to seeing Great Whites rocket thru the waves within a few feet of our boards, also Dolphins coming up to play close by. It was one Sunny Glassy Day on Malibu 's Third Point, while just paddling to catch a little three footer, that a 12 foot Great White Popped out of the wave and soared over our heads to come in with us, so we rode our boards right up to the sand and never got back in again, ever.

Amazing narrator! The voice... The tone... The word enunciation... Just incredible talent!

I can’t believe it! This channel FINALLY told three attack stories that ACTUALLY HAPPENED.

[JohnnysCafe_]

Going by this narrative Manuel had a quick death and likely never knew what hit him. His friends heard his screams ? Embellish much ?
I live in Brisbane and my family have been holidaying at Amity point Stradbroke island, we don't swim outside the netted beach because the place is full of bull sharks and plenty of attacks happened there.

I have not been in the ocean in many years and I will never ever get in it again.

[angiedixon]

This is why I don't go in the oceans anymore 😢

[pegallen]

Being that Manuel was under water and was decapitated in the first strike of the shark I don't think he did much screaming! Just sayin'

[lynnlacourciere]

I will never go into an oceans for here fear of these deadly creature’s. No body should. Enjoy pools and ponds Instead. Life is too short and sharks and gators are too many. 😩

[Ladibug]

A menacing presence waiting to pounce? Or sharks doing what they do in their home….sad stories but sharks are not monsters, if we go in the ocean we take that chance of encountering sharks looking for food

[jasonspradling]

They need to use a AI in order to study the attack methods first hand instead of second hand accounts from others who are trying to get to safety. We could see there attacks themselves as they happen and learn from that behavior.

THESE ARE A PRIME REASON WHY I HATE SHARKS, AND WILL NEVER SWIM IN THE OCEAN AGAIN, HAVING BEEN STRUCK BY A SHARK YEARS AGO IN PENSECOLA FLORIDA. I WIL NEVER GO INTO THE WATER AGAIN ! NO ONE SINGLE HUMAN LIFE IS WORTH DYING FROM A SHARK ATTACK. IM SO EXTREMELY TIRED OF EVERY EXCUSE AND REASON UNDER THE MOON AS TO WHY WE SHOULD NOT KILL EVERY SHARK IN THE OCEANS WATERS. CHILDREN, TEEN-AGERS, FATHERS, MOTHERS, SURFERS, EVERYONE, IST RISK OF DYING AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT, WHILE SWIMING IN THE OCEANS WATERS. SCUBA DIVERS AS WELL ! THERE SHOULD BE A HUNTING SEASON FOR SHARKS WITH NO LIMIT, FOR A WHOLE SUMMER EVERY YEAR. I WAS ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES WHO DIDNT LOSE MY LEG IN THE WATER THAT DAY WHILE AT THE BEACH IN PENSECOLA. THESE VIDEOS PROVE THAT SHARKS DO NOT HAVE A CONCIOUS, NOR DO THEY CARE ABOUT KILLING HUMAN BEINGS. BUT YOUR WOKE LIBERAL DEMOCRATS WILL SAY WE CANT DO THAT....BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH WITH YOUR PETA EXCUSES. WHEN A SHARK KILLS ONE OF YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS, THEN MAYBE YOU WILL WAKE UP TO THESE AVOIDABLE TRAGIDY'S.

There are some wet suits with the markings of a sea snake. It is not camouflage, but the good news is that a diver would not be mistaken for a seal.

First story...lots of info that contradicts itself....how can shark come from the depth if diver was already on the ocean floor....and if hes down deep in turbulent waters people on boat cant see him let alone hear his screams if his head was bitten off first.... Make up ur mind on what really happened....lots of fluff to make it more interesting leads to false info.... Lets bring back truth and honor

[suzsnnesanders]

When I was little girl my family was in calif and Florida swimming in both oceans not once did we ever think about this! This was about 55 years ago you never heard of this what happened??

[chadhickes]

I’ve caged dived with GW’s in 13 different expeditions. I don’t think people really understand how big and powerful these amazing Sharks are in the wild. I’ve seen GW’s over 20 feet long and over two tons. Their girth is unimaginable and I’ve tried to push on them as they swim by the cage as their skin is like sandpaper and it’s like trying to push a brick wall. From the Farallon Islands, Guadalupe Mexico, Port Lincoln (Dangerous Reef) Australia and Cape Town (Shark Alley)in South Africa. Best dives in the world are in Guadalupe. The water is a lot clearer and warmer. Diving off of the Farallon Islands is like diving in an ice bath.

you know watching this it makes me scared to go down the shore

[alfailiwaqain]

Peace! Good video; however the Great white shark is not the Apex predator of the 🌊 Sea! That would be the Orca; who feast on their livers, testicles, etc…

This is a warning to never enter the ocean, because it's too 😢

[markmason]

If i swam in the ocean, i know a shark will eat me, cause I would be swimming in a panic, either a shark, octopus, jumble squid, any other huge predator would be waiting on me, once 8 look down an see how deep its, probably have a heart attack..

[gailharper]

After Jaws came out in the 70’s I haven’t swam very far off shore !!!!
