Three experienced divers and photographers set out on a small boat to try to record any marine life around the carcass of a sperm whale floating off the coast of Oahu. What they experienced is one of the most incredible great white sharks encounters ever caught on camera.
Kimberly Jeffries spotted the dead sperm whale from nearly half a mile away—a white mass the size of a bus bobbing in the calm early-morning waters.
It was January 2019, and Jeffries, a Hawaii-based nature and wildlife photographer, had arrived at this spot a couple of miles southwest of Waikiki hoping to catch a glimpse of predators drawn to the floating cetacean feast. Mere moments after she jumped in, something tens of feet below caught her eye: a massive great white shark wending her way up from the deep.
Stretching some 20 feet from tip to tail, it was the famous Deep Blue, one of the largest great white sharks ever caught on film. (Most female great whites average around 15 to 16 feet.) Over three days, Jeffries and her colleagues documented the extraordinary spectacle—while maintaining a respectful distance—as two more mature female white sharks came to chow down on the sperm whale carcass.
Pregnant or pudgy?
But it’s tough to say whether the trio of great whites is pregnant without testing their blood for hormone levels, Lowe says. Inferences about Deep Blue are particularly challenging, thanks to her robust physique.
When a video of her near Guadalupe Island went viral, her massive size led many to speculate she was pregnant. But female white sharks don’t return to Guadalupe when pregnant, notes Nasby Lucas. All evidence suggests that they go to mate. (Read about another huge great white shark captured off Guadalupe in 2011.)
Lowe thinks the question is further clouded in this latest Deep Blue sighting by her voracious appetite. “When they gorge themselves on these whales, they literally get these kinds of Buddha's bellies,” he says.
But since it’s common for pregnant great whites to forage offshore, Nasby Lucas says, the “odds are she probably is.”
Give sharks a chance
Though white shark sightings off Hawaii are relatively rare now, populations in the North Pacific seem to be increasing in recent years thanks to several protection measures such as the 1994 ban of net-based fishing in California waters, notes Heidi Dewar, a marine biologist at the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Southwest Fisheries Science Center. (Read how white sharks are on the rise off Cape Cod.)
The latest encounter also draws attention to the plight of the great white sharks, and the popular misconception that they're mindless killers. While it's true great whites are apex predators, which demands that they're treated with caution and respect, their killing-machine reputation can sometimes leave the majestic beasts in hot water.
“Anytime you get the public excited about animals in the ocean in a positive way, especially sharks, I think that can only be a good thing for the ocean,” says Dewar.
