Episode 15: Shark Island

Deadly Pole to Pole - CBBC - BBC

Steve swims with the most feared shark on the planet - the great white.

Steve and the team travel to Guadalupe Island, 150 miles off the Mexican coast, where Steve swims alongside the planet's top predator - the great white shark.

This time Steve will be doing something quite extraordinary - swimming outside of the cage with the most feared shark on the planet - the great white. Steve and the team travel to Guadalupe Island, 150 miles off the Mexican coast, whose waters are a hotspot for these huge sharks. 

Diving into the crystal-clear sea Steve discovers what attracts the great whites to this remote rock - their prey, Guadalupe fur seals. These underwater acrobats swim rings round Steve, but even their speed and agility is no match for the great white. Back on the boat it is time for the main event, as a huge great white shark is circling. Stepping out into the blue abyss, Steve's heart is racing as he swims alongside the planet's top predator. It's a truly deadly encounter he will never forget.
