Filming, Photography and Documentaries

The WSRI and WSP has hosted many well known as well as less well known documentary film companies, including BBC, CBS, National Geographic, Discovery, Cicada, Tango, T&H, Swedish Television, TBS and many more, wishing to film the Great White Shark in a positive manner.

While working with these companies, we have learnt many interesting techniques required to make a successful film, and have subsequently developed a department which specialises in hosting film companies wishing to document the Great White Shark. We have the equipment, knowledge, staff, experience and dedication required for the successful filming of Great White Sharks. Over resent years there has been a very noticeable positive change in the style of shark documentaries.  We believe this is largely due to our input.

We encourage the filming of Great White Sharks in a positive manner as these films are screened world-wide to millions of viewers. Filming Great White Sharks in South Africa is relatively easy if one knows what to do and where to go. Our Great White Shark areas are accessible, enabling us to base ourselves on shore and commute to and from the shark sites by fast boat on a daily basis. This alleviates the problems and logistics of live-aboards and rough weather.

We have a fast and stable catamaran boats which are designed and built for diving and filming operations as well as shark cages and all other equipment which is necessary for filming and working with Great White Sharks. The WSRI has worked with far more individual Great White Sharks than any other organisation in the world, which has subsequently provided us with vast knowledge concerning working methodology with this species.
