When divers in tropical Bali were caught unawares by a 16ft great white shark, Dr Craig O'Connell had to find out what was going on. He called the team at Talesmith and we set about mounting an expedition that took us to the furthest reaches of wild Indonesian waters. Was it possible that the shark had swum up from Australia where white sharks are known to exist, or was this a visitor from the less well known Japanese population of giant sharks? Madi Stewart, whose conservation charity is based in Indo, was the perfect host for the journey, drawing on her knowledge of local dive spots and her relationships with Indonesia's fishermen. Together the team dived in unexplored waters in search of great whites, risking their lives among a host of giant species.

This film was Talesmith's fourth shark week in as many years. We've built a trusted relationship with Discovery's team, listening to the needs of their audience and creating another thrilling film perfectly tailored to their brief.
