There’s a bit of a belief in surfing circles that dolphins in the lineup means no sharks in the water. It can’t possibly be true all the time, of course, but it’s a nice little thing we tell ourselves, and since shark attacks are so incredibly rare, it’s easy to believe the voice in our heads. But Carlos Gauna, a man who spends a lot of time filming great white sharks, has amassed a collection of drone footage that proves that voice is a dirty liar.
“In this video, we take a look at various clips of great white sharks and dolphins interacting,” he wrote. “While some folks believe seeing a dolphin means there are no sharks around, observations largely prove otherwise.”
That’s not to say that we need to be any more worried about the possibility of a shark attack than usual, because the chances are vanishingly slim. Still, though, Gauna’s video is an interesting look at what’s happening beneath the surface of the ocean we spend so much time in.
