Fight off a Longimanus shark attack (oceanic white tip shark) at the dive site Brother Island in Egypts Red Sea where two attacks happened in 2018.

Fight off of Longimanus, white tip reef shark during a diving trip in Egypts Brother Islands and Daedalus Reef in November 2018. Filmed from two perspectives. See right and wrong behaviour with the Longimanus shark by the underwater footage. The Longimanus is used to approach very close to divers. It is very common to see the Longimanus at Brother Islands, Daedalus Reef and Elphinstone. Unfortunately the Longimanus is extremly endangered species whose numbers have decreased dramatically due to industrial fishing and the hunt for their fins. Egypts red sea is one of the few places where you can see the Longimanus.

The longimanus like many other shark species is critically endangered due to the overfishing by industrial fishing and the constant demand for shark fins from Asia. Sharks are a crucial part of the oceans eco system and have to be protected.
