Biologist Austin Gallagher has got a thing for sharks. Like many others, Gallagher has been enamored with these enigmatic creatures since he was a young child. However, unlike many others, he spends his days immersed in their environment. Tagging, observing, monitoring and admiring. This short film showcases the beauty of the sharks, but it's Gallagher's passion for the marine world that really resonates. Stunning cinematography and clever editing make it a joy to watch. Take a few minutes and dive with the sharks!
