Both freedivers love and respect these creatures which are a vital necessity for the well-being of the ocean&#8217;s ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>They decide to immortalize this moment by taking photos, not an easy task considering how fast the subject is moving ! In the end, it&#8217;s Deron who takes the nicest shot of both the shark and William trying to photograph her.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of myths about sharks still persist to this day.
