This footage of a great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) was recently filmed by Stéphane Pellegrin off the French Mediterranean coast. The encounter occurred only 300 metres from shore in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.

That is good to see some of the still alive in the Mediterranian Sea.
Almost all the population is wiped out in the past 30 years. In Adriatic Sea, Around Malta, Egean Sea and even Marmara Sea(40 years ago) they used to have healthy populations. Now they are almost all gone. 2 Years ago I remeber juvanile catches in Egean Sea and Adriatic Sea by fishermen nets. In total of 4 or 5 I can not recall.
I was hopeful, if there were juvaniles, there needs to be adults. In 2005 we saw one about 40 miles of shore of Chios, Greece following a Albacore Tuna frenzy. It was about 4 meters long. That was the last time I saw one alive in Med Sea. In Italy they used to have a healthy population as well. Actually there they have most of the Med GWS attacks in the last 60 years.
This is fantastic footage. Thank you.
Angel are you from Greece?Do you have any documented informations (photos,videos etc) concerning the presence of great white in Greece?
Gus, I am not from Greece.I spend a lot of time in the area, Greece, Turkey, Croatia, Italy, Monte Negro in spring and summers for the last 30 years. I know for sure that the Greek off shore tuna sport fishing boats have encountered them many times. We talked a lot about it. I doubt if they have any footage. I can ask if you want to. I have pictures only by a cell phone of that times technology.(2005) during the Albacore Frenzy. I have footage of whales etc again by cell phone but video this time from 2006.
I may be able to get some pictures from the juvanile catches from Edremit, Turkey by the Egean Sea.
Why do you need them ?
