- Jonathan joins Charlie Donilon on his shark charter boat in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and learns about how shark tagging has shed light on the biology of and behavior of Blue sharks. Tagging has shown that these incredible swimmers actually migrate completely across the Atlantic ocean. Jonathan tries his hand at tagging a shark and then swims with Blue sharks. We also learn that Blue sharks are not nearly as vicious as they have been reputed to be, and the divers are actually able to pet the sharks!

The Blue shark. Implicated in attacks on shipwreck victims, and known to possess a mouthful of razor-sharp teeth.
This vicious-looking fish has a few surprises in store for me as I prepare to leave the protected shore of Rhode Island and venture into the realm of the Blue shark.
I’m on board Snappa, a shark diving boat in Rhode Island run by veteran shark fisherman Charlie Donilon. In recent years, Charlie has turned from fishing for sharks to diving with sharks. We leave the harbor in the early morning because we have a long way to go to find the sharks.
After heading straight out for 3 hours we can finally stop.
Blue sharks are pelagic, that means they live in the open ocean, so to find them, we have to travel here forty miles from the coast of Rhode Island and as you can see there is no land in site.
The first thing we do is drop our shark cage into the water. The cage will protect us from the sharks when we go diving. Next, we need some sharks.
To attract sharks to the boat, we use something called chum, which is basically ground up fish parts and it looks like this. This bucket if filled with chum. And we’re throwing it overboard to create scent trail in the water. Basically, the current carries the chum off and the sharks smell it. And then they follow the smell back to the boat. And when they get here they find Charlie and he throwing nice little bite size morsels of fish over the side to keep the sharks interested.
Within only minutes, the incredibly sensitive noses of the sharks have detected our chum, and convergered on the boat.
Scientists don’t know very much about sharks, but they do know that blue sharks are incredible swimmers. Often traveling thousands of mile in only a few months. And the reasons they know this is because of these shark tags. If you put a shark tag on a shark in Rhode Island and the shark is caught thousands miles away you can tell from the tag where it came from.
Charlie volunteers to tag sharks for the National Marine Fisheries Service so they can learn about the migration patterns of Blue sharks.
The tag is a tiny piece of paper with a serial number rolled up inside a water proof capsule and attached to a barb that goes under a shark’s skin to hold it in.
Charlie is an expert shark tagger. He’s been doing it for 20 years, and today I’m getting a lesson.
The tag goes on the end of a pole. I’ll use the pole to stick the tag into a shark from a safe distance.
I know it looks painful, but thick skin on the shark’s back makes the tag barely noticeable to the shark.
Now we fill out a card that we mail in to the National Marine Fisheries Service. The card has information about the shark that we tagged, such as the location we tagged it, the sex, male or female, and approximate length.
Some of the sharks that Charlie has tagged have been caught as far away as Africa, a distance of over 2,500 miles!
As soon as I’m out in the open, the sharks closely approach me and seem to have an intense interest in my camera. They bump their noses into the lens and seem confused by it. Believe it or not, all living things put out tiny electrical impulses. Sharks have special electrical senses that can detect the electrical impulses of living things.
While I’m having fun underwater with the sharks, Charlie is still trying to tag a few more.
This shark grabs his bait and takes off with it….right between the bars and into the cage!
This is a big shark but it still fit through the camera port in the cage. Now it can’t figure out how to get out. I’m afraid the shark will hurt itself, so I have to see if I can help…without getting bitten.
I open the door and try to lead the shark out, but it is thrashing around so much that it doesn’t realize there is a way out.
I have to be very careful here, because the shark could feel cornered in the cage and it might interpret me as a threat.
Finally, I have to grab it by the pectoral fin and yank it out!
I wish I could touch a blue shark and even hug one. Those creatures look so adorable with those innocent looking eyes.
They ARE huggable!
So are threshers
Don't ever underestimate them.
This is proof that not all sharks are aggressive to divers. Domt Hate Pls
Avoid Loan Sharks
Blue sharks are one of my favorite sharks because they are really cool to look at especially with that blue back of theirs
The blue shark is my favorite kind of shark. -thank you, loved this
Their eyes are so cute!! They seem to be happy sharks 😁
Blues sharks are my absolute favorite I don't get nearly enough publicity or camera time would love to see a whole special on them during Shark Week
Their acts of bumping your camera to investigate really makes them seem like big underwater dogs.
The Ugly Barnacle And in the wild they are the furthest thing from seeming aggressive. They really are wonderful animals and super cute.
BlueWorldTV can you explain me the shark tag? im really confused with it
BlueWorldTV More like adorable.......Unless you're a fish LOL
🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🐟🐟
The Ugly Barnacle p
Blue sharks are happy because the ocean is blue and it has the word “blue” in its name
That male shark that went in the cage had to big the biggest one we saw.
Nice
No the skin is blue boiiiiiiii
But they are not happy to have their fins cut of alive, to be ”fin soup” in China.......
Not funny, didn’t laugh
Perhaps the cutest shark ever.
Ik. It's cuter than the ugly anglerfish!
+ShadowHerobrine Gaming - Gaming Indeed, just did not like it when he said they are vicous looking when it is the opposite haha.
They all look like baby sharks 😃
Thresher shark is better
There's nothing vicious looking about the Blue Shark ... Great White's , Hammerhead's & Bull Sharks , those have predatory looks , the Blue looks like an sea arrow rather than swimming teeth , i guess looks are deceiving !
Bullsharks & Tigers & Hammerheads don't look scary either , they got derpy looking faces until they open they're jaws & show teeth , GW sharks are the only shark with a scary looking face & maybe a Mako shark but all the rest got durpy looking faces like they have autism or something!!!! I love all sharks especially the derpy Blue Sharks & Threshers & Hammerheads & Tigers & Bullsharks those are my favorites!!!! GW just look terrifying no matter what they're doing
I wanted to say that my 2 and a half year old daughter loves your channel and she already wants to be a diver. Thanks so much for the educational videos! I hope you keep up the great work.
+Justin McLeod Good for her!!!
+BlueWorldTV are thy very dangerous
+Domcw01 Jonathan isn't dangerous....
LOL
+That One Art Guy I think he means the sharks but that was funny.
+Emily Neumen yeah don't worry I like to add a bit of comedy to my comments
Beautiful sharks, my favourite since I was a kid. very graceful and elegant, and I like that they at times act like pack animal, a somewhat rare trait among shark.
Calle Nilsson I love sharks too, I want to be a shark biologist
Black Widow spiders are also extremely graceful and elegant compared to other types of spiders.
Thank you thank you
"So forget the cage..." Yeah you don't need steel cage if you have steel balls.
i wanna do this so badly lmao
You really don't to dive with Blue Sharks - As the video shows, they're more inquisitive about what you are than any kind of dangerous beast. I've dived with Blue Sharks in the Azores and it was, without doubt, one of the best experiences of my life - No cages involved.
I'm not sure, though, that handling them like is shown in some of the video is very sensible - They are wild animals after all and deserve to be treated as such.
I loved seeing you help that shark out of the cage. He was so docile compared to how you might think they would act. Heck, I would be more aggressive than that if I found myself stuck somewhere I didn't understand.
This is the cutest fish ever
Awesome video, totally love how it shows that sharks are not man-eaters or demons like shark week or other "documentaries" portray them to be, this deserves more views!
Im getting my thalassophobia triggered not from the sharks, but from the dark abyss below...
Awesomeplace1 exactly. Sharks don’t scare me but open waters do
How about the near infinite dark abyss above you?
@@ralphmacchiato3761 hmm i actually curious. why am i so scared of not being unable to see the ocean's floor but i'm not afraid of staring off into an empty void? maybe because i know that space is infinite while our oceans have an end that i just can't see. Perhaps it is because we as Animals haven't evolve to fear space unlike the oceans where we have been around since animal life began? idk such spit balling here
blue sharks are really cute :P
I know☺
Thats their job
ellzyrox they are 😀😀😀😁😁😁
All sharks are
@@margueritagrey-ben7262 not the Goblin Shark

I would swim with blue sharks. They're cool!
oh wow...this is the CUTEST SHARK IN THE WORLD!!!
Thresher shark is
@@Fearless13468 The big eyed thresher to be specific, but blue sharks aren't that far behind them in cuteness.
@@allen-licious6894 my opinion
#1- Bigeye Thresher Shark
#2- Leopard Shark
#3- Blue Shark
#4- Bonnethead Shark
#5- Sawshark
@@Fearless13468 I'd say that would be my ranking aswell.

Watch our Goosefish video for a sponge bob reference.
:)
Beautiful coloring. Those eyes! Staring right at the lens. Awesome! Thanks Jonathon!🙏🦈
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Thanks to NatGeo's 1982 documentary about sharks, the blue shark is one of my favorite sharks to this day. :)
these sharks sure are fun
+Lenny De Weer Yes, Blue sharks are awesome!! Not aggressive at all and super curious. I love them!
You are great !
I like that shark he/she skin is colorful
and you save that shark
your a hero!
I am very happy that Jonathan blue world interview with blue sharks ends safely 😍
Man i wish i did this for a living :(
Take a look at their adorable snouts! They really do belong to the most beautiful class of animal below the depths.
Blue shark: the ocean is all about meeeeeeeeee because it’s blue and I’m a blue shark and my name has “blue” in it
This is the first video on CZcams I watched so this is very special for me
THEM DANK MEMES really, I don’t even know how many I’ve watched, probably thousands
:p
Blue Sharks in the Blue World, 🦈
My Favorite Color, 💙😊
6:20 Sharl: "Da heck is dis thingy?"
Poor thing.good thing John helps him to get out :)
Sharks are amazing! Thanks for sharing.
I love sharks, thanks for these videos!
I agree with you good sir, their beautiful and such amazing creatures.
Their not monster's at all, their one of mother earth's creatures.
Creatures that have lived for millions of years, An have evolved over the ages.
All have their own personalities and characteristics, their an absolute joy to study and watch.
I remember as a child being absolutely in love with theses creatures, I got to see them in London.
I was absolutely breathtaking by theses Animal's, I had a blue shark swim right up to my face.
I'm telling you my jaw almost dropped off from pure excitement, I couldn't believe I was seeing them so close up. No I have never gone swimming with them, But I can see the joy in doing such things.
I love how you respected them and was gentle towards them, still keeping in mind what they are capable of.
You're a very brave man. Thank you very much for all the footage!!!
The way you handled getting the shark out of the cage was awesome!
Herowebcomics Thanks!
BlueWorldTV Your welcome!
Check out my stuff on CZcams and Devientart!
BlueWorldTV I love it
Herowebcomics ok
Awesome vid thanks so much
Awesome video, and yet proves another reason why I am grateful to be a diver. They really are weirded out by our presence in the water, but it's better that they are weirded out than confused and attacking on the surface (surfers are typically shark-bait because they confuse the sharks and have the same silhouette as seals).
your amazing for saving that shark!
That whole part was quite hilarious 😄
His amazing what? * You're
NICE SHARK PICTURE THERE
You look silly at 7:13 lying on the cage :P
This dude has some balls lol
I love how all the people here are all scared of him, look at his posture, that is a relaxed posture for a shark
Blue sharks are very chill.
Love these kind of sharks!
What an amazing travelling friend I have in little bluey here!!! Sharky xxx
Johnathan Bird is a feckin legend!!
Blue sharks fascinate me the most of any shark for a reason that I don't even know
so cute!
Wow. I never realized how cool these blue sharks are, and beautiful, too. :)
this dude is awesome!
These are the most beautiful creatures I’ve ever seen you have the best job man keep it coming!
I love the whale shark and great white shark
The outro, with you blowing rings of air was a piece of joy! Thanks Jonathan!
Glad you enjoyed it
They say seals are the underwater puppy dogs but I think it's the beautiful stubby bodied shark.
I think they're cute lol, especially compared to Mako sharks those scare me! I was fascinated by your Thresher shark video too. The Blue sharks must have pretty good eyesight, those big cute eyes are moving all around!
Yes bird boy! This was one of my favorite vids, you are like the shark whisperer.
IKR
Lee Plays Life bird boy 😌😌😌
Blue sharks are so adorable 😍
I agree!
This is so wonderful! Thanks for sharing your videos!
there's no doubt that sharks are absolutely beautiful....... But as with cats I am fascinated by their ears , with sharks I'm fascinated by their tails... thei tails are so awesome ! ! !
The water rings at the end are so cool!
Cool!!
Love your show!!!
The most beautiful sharks imo
That scene towards the end with the blue shark getting trapped in the cage was great - cracked me up quite a bit! :D
Just watching some of your videos now, and I must say they are pretty awesome! :)
Douglas Wilson Thanks!!
BlueWorldTV
You're very welcome. :)
I've managed to watch most of your shark-related ones now, and am curious: would you consider attempting a dive with great whites without the cage? I've seen a few other videos in which people have actually swam with them and touched them, so it seems like a feasible idea.
3:03 the shark HAS A STAR ON IT , like a shooting star
The Blue Shark&Hammerheads are my favourite sharks.
thats a big WOW,. aww blue sharks are so cute,. wow I wish I can hold them like that too
"i needed to get in the water in swim with the shark" ha ha that was funny and really brave to go outside the cage but then again good thing you weren't in it when he got inside.
dont stop making awesome videos
The eyes are kinda cute lol❤️
They're also not afraid of getting close 😎👍
this is the only documentary on Blue Sharks online....PERIOD...what a shame. I really want to learn more about these awesome creatures!
Awesome video jonathan
You were the first one who I liked to see diving in the ocean
