In 1969 Peter Matthiessen set out with the expedition led by Peter Gimpel, whose aim was to find and film the great white shark. Acting as the expedition's chronicler and spare hand (both on the surface and below), Matthiessen accompanied the crew from the Caribbean to the whaling grounds off the Durban coast, to various islands in the Indian Ocean, to Ceylon, and finally to success off the bleak south coast of Australia. This book records the experience of swimming in open water among hundreds of sharks at once, the beauties of strange seas and landscapes and the camaraderie, tension, humour and frustrations of people who live in close proximity and risk their lives day by day.
