万花筒 2013-02-28&03-02 神奇女子与鲨鱼和谐共游

 A women being called the shark whisperer, a fearless daredevil who swims with great whites for some unknown reason. ABC抯 Nick Watt¹ has her remarkable² story.

Holy moly! Yes, you really are seeing what you think you are seeing. A great white shark, the most feared beast on earth, a killer³ and a human, no air tanks, no cage, no fear. And here she is.

揑 understand that you know, it is dangerous, it is a wild animal.?

Ocean Ramsey is a Hawaiian model, slash⁴ diver who can hold her breath underwater for 5 minutes 45 seconds, she means business. 

You抳e heard of the horse whisperer, the dog whisperer, even the eagle whisperer. Is Ocean Ramsey the shark whisperer?

揟hey抮e actually cautious and cognitive⁵, they抮e calculated. You know, it抯 misunderstood and misconstrued as they抮e ravenous⁶, you know, mindless, man-eating machines, and that抯 not how they are.?

California just this week declared the great white an endangered species. Experts estimate there are only 339 left along the Pacific coast. But ever since Jaws⁷, it抯 pretty hard to generate sympathy with these killing⁸ machines. That抯 why Ocean Ramsey and the guy who filmed these extra ordinary scenes are driven to such jaw-dropping extremes.

揟he biggest secret for me

is to nail the shot, here is, you know, like beautiful shark and this graceful⁹ diver swimming along in perfect harmony with each other.?

揑t抯 really hard to describe what it抯 like to actually hug a great White, swimming towards you or next to you, it抯 really breathtaking.?

Yes, we抣l just take your words for that, Ocean. We抣l just take your word for that. For Good Morning American, Nick Watt, ABC news, Los Angeles.
