Azores Islands, In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, about 40 km from the nearest coastline, there was good visibility, waves and a strong current of water, the sun's rays are lost to seabed located between 200 and 2000 meters depth creating a perfect scenario to observe these large predators. Into the water you can’t hear any noise coming from the sharks; this makes you look to all sides in search of them.
