Synopsis

Most people avoid great white sharks, but shark divers go looking for them! Diver and photographer Jeff Rotman goes to extremes to find and photograph great whites in their natural habitats. It takes a shark cage, a blood-and-fish "recipe," patience, and courage to get up-close photos of these powerful hunters. Discover the secrets of the great white, and what it's like to meet one face to face.
