Meet Ocean Ramsey; a 27-year-old professional scuba
instructor, surfer, swimmer and free-diver. What makes her so spectacular, you
ask? She uses her skills to free-dive with Great White sharks in open water.
On her website www.waterinspired.com,
Ocean explains that while coming face to face with these large sharks is thrilling,
her diving is for a different purpose—their conservation. She hopes to prove
that Great Whites, as well as other shark species, are not the mindless killing
machines that the media and movies make them out to be. They are extremely
intelligent and cautious animals that need to be protected.
In the video below,
you’ll see Ocean hitching a ride on a very large Great White shark. Take a
moment and notice the shark’s behavior.
She’s not thrashing around or being aggressive. Quite the contrary, she
is calm and graceful taking little notice to the human swimming along with her.
This is how sharks should be seen, as something beautiful and worth saving.
