From intense bluff charges to rare underwater swimming footage, this film dismantles the dangerous myths surrounding these highly intelligent creatures and showcases a lifelong mission to replace conflict with true coexistence.

Ben Cropp was once a shark hunter. Now as a leading marine expert and conservationist, he shares with us his stories that take us from hunting to saving these denizens of the deep. His shipwreck museum houses all the relics he has found off the Australian coast. His most significant discovery was that of the HMS Pandora in 1977. The Pandora was a British Man-o-war enroute to England with the captured mutineers of the famous Bounty. Ben prepares for another expedition of sharks. His grown up sons Dean and Adam accompany him. They too have inherited Ben’s passion for the sea and work now as cameramen. While technology now dominates underwater filming, Ben finds little use for it when he goes down now and films the tropic sea’s greatest predator – the tiger shark.
