Then perhaps we will begin to protect them.” Therefore, we first need to understand what sharks are really like before there can be a change in public perception. As many fellow conservationists have stated before, we protect only what we love. “Ultimately, the film’s purpose is to lead people to think differently and positively about sharks. “I sincerely believe that Sharks 3D, while entertaining audiences, delivers a strong and compelling argument for shark conservation by shedding new light on the urgent need to protect these animals,” said director Jean-Jacques Mantello.

It was shot on location in Guadalupe Island Socorro Island Revillagigedos and the Sea of Cortez (Mexico) Malpelo Island (Colombia) the Red Sea (Egypt) Sodwana Bay (South Africa) Inhambane (Mozambique) San Diego (USA) and Rangiroa Atoll (French Polynesia). Principal photography on this fascinating film required an extensive nine-month shoot totaling 500 dive hours. Face your fears and explore the bottom of the ocean with the biggest fish on earth and witness a feeding frenzy first-hand to learn about one of nature’s most dominant species. Honed to perfection by 400 million years of evolution, these creatures ruled the sea long before the dinosaurs roamed the earth. “You can witness them as they truly are in their natural habitat-not wicked man-eating creatures, as they are far too frequently depicted in modern feature films, but wild, fascinating and highly endangered animals that have been in existence since a million years before the dinosaurs.” If you’ve ever wanted to know what it’s really like to dive with sharks, this film is certainly a must-see,” said Jean-Michel Cousteau, president of Ocean Futures Society. “Watching Sharks 3D is like pulling on a diving suit and swimming weightlessly with sharks all around. Come face-to-face with a multitude of sharks, including the Great White, Hammerhead, and Whale Shark. Presented by Jean-Michael Cousteau and 3D Entertainment in collaboration with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Sharks 3D is a breathtaking new 3D adventure that offers audiences an astonishing up-close encounter with this great marine species.
