White shark Breaching video

To the right is a QuickTime movie showing a spectacular double breach by a White Shark in False Bay, South Africa. 

The footage was shot by Rick Allen of Nautilus Productions.

The first breach goes completely out-of-frame because - quite frankly - Rick didn't expect the White Shark to be able to leap so high. But, by the second leap, Rick's long-time filming experience kicked in and he 'nailed it'!
