After a Shark Education expedition in Mozambique, Steven Surina and I travelled down to Umkomaas, South Africa, to Walter Bernardis’ dive centre African Watersports — he created the tonic immobility technique used in this report — to film sharks and practise tonic immobility.
Followed by the France 2 crew, we explained why protecting sharks matters, and how a respectful encounter changes the way people see them. The report aired on the national midday news.
