- The Thresher shark may very well be the strangest looking shark in the world, with a tail almost as long as its body. This shark is very rare, almost never seen by divers....until now. Using advanced diving technology, Jonathan visits a remote reef in the Philippines where Thresher sharks show up every morning to be cleaned by small fish.

The reason why I like this guy: He is trying to convince the world that half of the ocean creatures doesn't want to kill you.
LOL
Hahaha yeah but really the superior ones really do- including the octopus
"WE" are the one killing it.
Just half? Still nope
Well duh the dude is a professional diver. You should try it yourself and let's see if your dumbass won't become an entree for ocean creatures.
My father is a Filipino diver and he always mention thresher shark when we talk about under the sea.
you have an awesome father then!😍
What does your father say about thresher sharks?
Lol that tail is just a food in the Philippines haha its kind a dry fish the taste of that thresher sharks tail is good.
(Correction)
Filipino is our language
Pilipino is our identity
I hope I'm right
@Pau E yeah nakakalito na talaga
I am a Filipino although I didn’t know that thing existed..
Yes, thanks to this guy who told us :)
Same
Me too
same here
Mommy: there are no sharks in the Philippines.
Me: *watches video* Are you sure? ;)
Mommy: .-.
Becoz we have more crocs here you know hahaha
philipphines is nice country . i love it..
im from australia
Much love from the Philippines too!!
I'm filipino
yeah auatralia is a nice country too :)... Fiba basketball and claiming ms universe :)
@@jingfederizo8415 Dude we dont have to be so proud of it
@@winx_akiraaa3673 so?
my word!! A thresher shark AND a manta in the same dive??!! AMAZING!!
I think you're the first to actually do a commentary on Threshers! I've never seen a TV program do one on these for some reason. I know they're rare, but I didn't think they would be as difficult to get on camera in contrast to rarer sharks (ie. Goblins).

The Ugly Barnacle if you like malapascua you need to try moalboal
The Ugly Barnacle Yes goblins are the rarest. Cause they live in the deep. Deepest sharks on earth.

If u live in Philippines they reviewed it a couple of times
I live in the mountain parts of the Philippines, I never know animals like this exist. Thanks for your effort on this video! 👏👏👏🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Come to Cebu!
*Philippines is the Center of Marine Biodiversity in the world so I'm not surprise that there are otherworldly marine creatures in our ocean.* ❤
Im so happy to see this
The thresher is NEVER talked about im so glad to FINALLY see a doc on this awesome shark
2:38 "The captain drives the boat with just the throttle on a string and a long pole to the rudder. Without any electronic or GPS, the captain finds the seamount with just experience and knowledge of the local waters, even though we are miles from shore, with no landmarks on the horizon."
4:48 "Amazingly, the captain has anchored us within 50 feet of where we were yesterday! How does he do it?"
MABUHAY MGA MANGINGISDANG PILIPINO! 🇵🇭🇵🇭 (long live Filipino fishermen)
I love thresher sharks! They are so adorable with those big eyes and shy facial expression. They may be sharks but they are afraid of bubbles and shy around people and manta rays 7:15-7:23 . I would love to go to the Philippines and go diving to see these beautiful sharks.
This video is 4 years old...but still amazing to look at. Im longing to see one of this sharks. Thanks for your videos Jonathan.
now its 8 years old
The thresher shark was my favorite shark in my childhood days because I thought it looked cooler than any other shark. And I still think that to this day.
Go17Gabe my personal fav is a great white shark.. :)
Mine is hammerhead cuz its awsome
They are cute, but they aren't seatigies...
Go17Gabe They my favorite too
Look on to their eyes bro its silently cute
Thanks for filming this shark. I’ve always wanted to see a thresher filmed. Been waiting a looong time to see this. Beautiful shark😎👍
Our pleasure!
While me from Philippines didn't even know that we have that kind of shark
@@junar88 glad you help.. thanks for the kind words..
@@junar88 wow thats condescending. At least he's honest to things he doesnt know about.
Its normal, we dont usually see them
It's because they're very elusive
Guess you dont spend your time on youtube watching shark videos like the rest of us!
If you didn't know. Threshers are so cute
they have cute eyes
Blue sharks is more cuter than the thresher sharks i think
I really do agree I draw hammerhead sharks and thrashes the most. These two animals are my most favorite animals in the world.
@@cangri1313 you mean treasher
@@JohnDacles no
that shark actually looked cute!
Finn Lahey so do you lol

Truly, the Philippines is the pearl of the Orient. It's very rich in biodiversity. For once, it makes me proud of my country. For once.

Another old video but okay I'll watch it👍
I like the way he narrates. Talking about the marine life and the ocean enthusiastically like there's no danger lurking in the deep.
Thank you! At least someone likes my narration!
Who's watching this in 2019?

Seriously, the Blue World series are the best ever.. Keep it up Jonathan - one day I hope to meet you on a remote dive site somewhere! :)
Beautiful creature....the tail is so cooll!!!
You came for the thresher, ended up seeing manta too. That was subtly epic.
5 year old video but i still love it. Proud to be a Filipino. Nice vid!
Hey Jonathan, It's more fun here in the Philippines, come back here! There are so many fishes that are unidentified in this time.
I'll be back in April!
Oh my goodness!! I can't believe that I am your fan and I comment with one of your great video and then it came to my surprise you've reply!!! Geez, you can observe our Rare Nautilus here in the Philippine Seas or our Horseshoe Crab, Dorado fish, Butanding, Sun fish, Rays, Napoleon fish, clamps Turtles and even our Dolphins. Many great fishes are living in the sea here in Philippines. Would love to see your documentary.
@@BlueWorldTV Wow! Hope to see you Jonathan. Are you coming back to see these Sharks again or your going somewhere in the Philippines?
I can sense the hospitality of the filipinos even from their message
My favorite childhood show and i finally found after 6 years!! My favorite episode
February 5, 2020 and i still love to watch this episode. Thank you Sir Jonathan for visiting Philippines.
mabuhay!!
thank you for comming to our country and making an edocational video about thresher shark and the phillippines
thankyou(again)😄😀
we also have the fattest crocs in the world, no need to dive. they love pork. and they wear suits.. hahaha
Where???
@@BlueWorldTV its more of the politics... The corruption of our politicians..
Lol 100% facts
Hahaahha i knew it.. I know who are you referring to.. Its the politicians actually..
Di na naman related na comment. Welcome to the philippines 🤦
oh my god. this is the first time i've heard of these tresher sharks. it's so elegant. thanks for showing this.
Its my first time to watch a video about this kind of shark and glad to know about Jonathan... Its just makes me so proud of being a Filipino..
Got to see both of my favorite sea creatures in one video! The Thresher Shark and The Manta Ray!
80 feet down! Good Lord. Btw i could listen to you talk all day. You are so clear & insightful 😊
This is one of the most beautiful & special creatures that exists on our planet. It deserves fully protected status. Who knows even what damage the catch & release fishing of this species may be causing. Not to mention the consequences of fishing them out just because they have larger fins. The Whitetip Oceanic is another shark seriously endangered by overfishing, as well as Blue Sharks. These deep ocean sharks that live far out to sea are the cleaners of the wider oceans, as well as being apex predators in their environments.
We continue to over fish & pollute the ocean at our peril. Somehow, it must be stopped. The general populations of this planet need to take these issues very seriously & demand change or we won't have a home. A few will destroy it for us all.
Julia McDonald-Carberry the uiii
Take what you need, never more or less is my motto.
Siervo de Dios Hijo de Cristo Lol, You can’t say that while using something to access this video.
i agree with you it is recorded that Puerto Rico, China and mostly taiwan has over catch the Shark for its Fins because of demand of Fin soup. yet they care what is the effect of their over fish. they ignored the consequences of their action. if the shark extinct due to over fishing it will kill also the other sea creature. i am guessing they have no idea about it, what they only think is making money.
I am a Filipino! Thanks for showing us mkre creatures in the ocean.
Blue World tv is the best place to learn about the ocean!!!
Your the best Jonathan
They are such beautiful animals... Their tails move so gracefully through the water, it's mesmerizing
I keep coming back to this video because this is my favourite, and also one of the firsts I've seen from BlueworldTV. The past few days I've been diving in Malapascua and was also fortunate to see these thresher sharks. They are so beautiful 😍 and because of the pandemic there weren't a lot of divers. In fact, I think there were more sharks than divers during my 3 dives. They swam above, below, and next to us, closest must be around 8ft. They didn't seem spooked that much and I tried to control my breathing but how could you breathe normally when something this stunning was floating above you. Ahhh I can't stop talking about it lol. I also did nitrox course while I was there. We didn't see the manta ray and the octopus but we saw one or two white tip sharks.
Thank you again for inspiring us to dive! Before this video I had no idea what thresher sharks were or that they could be found in the Philippines.
I'm jealous, wish I was there!
That fin definitely compensates for something
Samurai Sans the thresher shark is thought to use its tail to stun it's prey.
Lmao 😂
Yeah, it's tiny weeny teeth.
they whip it into large groups of fish and eat the ones they knockout
That joke made a whistling noise as it flew over your head
A pregnant thresher washed up on the beach where I live just outside a friends house I didn't realise that they were this rare so awesome love your videos!
Hello Jonathan! I'm a fan of your videos, shark videos in particular! I hope to see one in the wild one day. Speaking of sharks, you should go back to Malapascua between January to April, for you'll most likely see an aggregation of hammerheads on a new seamount called Kimud Shoal. I know you're not new into hammerhead aggregation since I saw your white-tip reef shark video, but perhaps you might wanna go back to this spot. :)
+James Cruzz Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out.
Came for the thresher. Stayed for the sweet manta !!! ❤️
Best footage yet of a rarely seen shark,...very graceful!
Cool! You don't see much on threshers but they are fascinating. Thanks!
BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much for opening the eyes of others about their perspectives about the sharks. I know to myself that sharks are friendly 💙 i love sharks 💙
Thresher sharks tail always amazing imo 😍😍
Great video. Beautiful thresher shark and manta. Thanks for sharing.
I really love listening in his everyword using adjectives! Very beautiful!!!!!!!!
I love the ocean and I'm trying to convince everyone that it's not as scary as what they think. My first snorkeling made me love the ocean even more. I like Philippines because of the variety of sea creatures. The coral reef is so vibrant and it mesmerizes me. Be careful with the jellyfish tho.
I totally agree!
As a Filipino I didn't realize that there were Thresher Sharks in the Philippines
where do you live? It's understandable if you're from a land locked province/City.

The shard is found in Malapascua, Cebu.
Coz you spend so much time with facebook and social media.

I whip my tail back and forth, I whip my tail back and forth.
- Thresher Shark 2017
HyperX It took the Thresher quite a while to hear that song. Haha
I whip my tail all over your face.
I saw Jonathan in brave wilderness' episode, and now I can't get enough of this channel.
Welcome!
hey Jonathan, congratulations from your channel. It's so good to explore deep blue like that!
Greetings from Italy!
Yeet
Wow amazing footage. You definitely killed 2 birds with one stone capturing both manta ray and thresher shark.
Your enthusiasm is infectious!
Can’t wait to show my kids this video.
The theory on the thresher's whip tail was confirmed - it's documented on blue planet 2 on the episode on pelagic life. I liked this episode, the whole explanation about your rebreather and the shot of the cleaner wrasse during the description of the symbiosis between them was especially pleasing - a nice visual que before the example.
If you read this far, know that everything so far has been just amazing - so long as this goes on I know you'll be remembered throughout the scuba and marine documentary world in the future because I know my children will watch the full boxset if they are going to ask anything about my life in scuba.
This is so cool. Wow incredible shark.
A very pretty shark...
thank you for discovering the amazing species of the philippines!!! Take Care Always!!!
This is such a great CZcams channel. My wife and I went to the ocean for the first time in June and we fell in love with it like many people do. This channel is helping me cope until we can make it back down there!
whoa! really big tail. thank you for visiting our country Philippines. :)
Such great diving in the Philippines!!
Love your vids johnathan
I also witnessed the glorious tresher shark last 2015! It was indeed a beautiful creature! I wish I could go back.
hi jonathan im so happy you always feature philippine sea in some of your adventures! always take care!
Is it just me, or does EVERYTHING under the water terrifying!? 😬
those threshers are amazing the ocean has such amazing crreatures
This dive site is still amazing until now. This morning we dive there and we saw 4 Thresher Sharks circling together, Lot's of divers too. Thanks Jonathan for uploading the video. This is amazing!
Have the sharks become more accustomed to the divers?
@@BlueWorldTV Seems like that. :) Unlike Manta, Eagle, and Devil Ray shows up once in a while and disappear in the area. Days ago we dive there again and saw a giant devil ray. It was really amazing seeing those creature.
What an amazing footage, so magical. With the slight blurry water it gives a certain mysterious effect which makes it extra special. Gave me goosebumps when suddenly that amazing Manta came over... you must have been absolutely thrillllled to be there!
great video of what we have in our country. i hope our marine seas will be preserve as pristine as they the nature should be through your educational documentaries. i appreciate you for exposing our beautiful seas and whats in it. Love the vid
troy casinillo my name is troy too
This is beautiful.
Johnathan keep it up. Your doing a great job and I really appreciate it.
I learned so many things just by watching your videos! I appreciate all your efforts to introduce to us many things about the blue world! It just amazes me and this made me realize that we really need to take care of all sea creatures so we won’t lose them and the next generation will get the chance to see what you just discovered! 😍😍😍
I can see a lot on the safety stop, especially on Monad Shoal, best visibility of all my dives, we saw things clearly from the boat 30 meters down. Saw 5 thresher sharks on our 1 dive there. Gato Island was the best dive though.
Gato is nice. A lot of nudibranchs!
Not only that the sharks there parked like planes sleeping on the bottom and then others swimming around the rock formations made for epic scenery.
Im a Filipino, Only here i realized we had that specie
Same
me too. its my first to see that creature
Also me
Because all of you spend so much time with facebook and social media.

You’re right darling, That’s why we discovered this! :D
Another very enjoyable segment and thanks for posting!
I'll hopefully be going to malapascua in a few months. Excited to see these sharks
Great video, are you doing this for a living or just for the fun ? I really would love to go diving, I think I'll take a dive when im in egypt again, there must be awesome animals in the water :)

Manta rays can grow to 7 metres (22 feet) across from wingtip to wingtip. They’re one of the largest fish in the world.
