Megashark is inquisitive and cheeky. Sometimes the divers have to push him out of the cage

Cameraman Andy Casagrande travels around the planet looking for sharks. Everyone knows him by the fact that he never shies away from danger. He has filmed for Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, BBC and many others. This time he went to New Zealand.

“We don't know why, but the waters off New Zealand are home to some of the most impressive great white sharks. Back in 2013, I met a shark here, whom I named Slash. His audacity is shown by the fact that he tried to get directly to me in the cage. He had an absolute lack of fear of people," describes Casagrande.

He also ran into another angry Fred. It was about five and a half meters tall and was trying to break through the cage with the cameraman while at the same time pounding the other cage about four and a half meters away with its tail.

“Sharks in New Zealand are different in my opinion. Unlike sharks in other parts of the world that I have filmed, they are not afraid of people at all. I would like to find out why," the cameraman describes his motives.

The great white shark is found in about six locations around the world, not only around Australia, South Africa, but also off Mexico and the west and east coasts of the USA. The interesting thing is that they are genetically different from each other and depending on the local conditions they have developed their own hunting tactics.

On the expedition to New Zealand, Casagranda will be assisted by experienced diver Dickie Chivell, who has already completed several shark expeditions. He should "cover the cameraman's back". Although he himself claims that the craziest sharks are found in Mexico.

There he tested diving in a plastic cage. From the shark's perspective, it looked as if the diver was completely unprotected because the plastic box was not visible in the sea.

The sharks were so curious that the divers wanted to get down to the skin. Not that they wanted to eat him straight away, but they definitely wanted to "sniff" him. Which brought him an unforgettable experience.

The trip to New Zealand brought even more intense experiences. The local great white sharks seemed to lack shame and aggressively bumped into the cage until the divers had to push them out with a perch.

And it was even worse when diving at night because the camera light irritated them and they wondered who was trying to rob them of their food while hunting at night.
