Here's a really nice example demonstrating the swallowing phase of a basking shark feeding. At the start you can see what looks like chewing but this is the shark gulping back the plankton that had collected on its gill rakers. We're still taking bookings for our summer season and we do have a few day trips planned for those that don't have as much time - although the longer you come for the more chances of great encounters like this! https://baskingsharkscotland.co.uk/our-tours/one-day-tours/ba

The second largest living shark species, the basking shark, feeding in the Santa Barbara Channel. 🎥: Adam Ernster Photography They are one of three filter-feeding sharks, along with the whale shark and megamouth shark, meaning they sift out small plankton (such as krill) from the water instead of relying on teeth! | Ocean Conservation Research - OCR

After some very crazy weather today, another very small shark appeared. It was feeding and swimming erratically as the small ones do, around an area of visible copepods. Rachel and one group did manage to swim with it and it was confirmed it to a female with no lampreys. | Basking Shark Scotland

A rough old week at sea but there’s a lot of food around for the big fish. High winds can break up plankton aggregations meaning sharks stay sub-surface. However along with ocean currents, they can also supercharge it to make optimal conditions for feeding. | Basking Shark Scotland

After thousands of miles searching this season Jack & Shane had their first proper basking shark encounter of the season today. A great day with numerous dolphins and whales. Although our other boats weren’t quite so lucky who were searching around other islands and too far to reach us. Outside of all the excitement, our suspicions from this summers strange situation were confirmed. A thick layer of Calenoid Copepods (aka shark food) were found in a layer 2-3m below the surface. Jellyfish were a

Here's a wee edit of some of the highlights from our expedition to Norway to swim with orca this past November. The fjords where the orca move in to feed on herring are well into the arctic circle, sheer sided, with mountains and glaciers, making for a spectacular environment to explore for whales. The herring also draws in humpback whales in large numbers, making for some amazing in water encounters. Our base is right on the water and looks north, making for a perfect location for watching the

☀️🦈Another nice basking shark encounter. The swimmers show good conduct resulting in low impact encounter for the shark and a better experience for the swimmer. Our operations are guided by marine biologists and we have a specific code of practice for our small group trips. Hope you can join us this summer - last spaces for our peak season basking shark trips! | Basking Shark Scotland

👃 🦈- basking sharks have an incredible sense of smell. When the 2nd biggest shark in the world has to find tiny zooplankton only a few mm long, they need to use other means to hunt. 🌊 🌳🎥- it’s not often you see basking sharks around the shallow kelp forest - special when you get a view like this. 🌊👾- Patches of zooplankton were pushed closer into coast by the current and the shark was zooming around trying to find them. You can see in this video the shark has its mouth closed- in efficien

Watching the gigantic fin of a basking shark break the waters surface is a moment you will remember forever. These huge sharks can have dorsal fins up to 1 metre high, some so big they fall over. Seeing them from the boat or beneath the waves is always spectacular. Join us for our 2023 Coll Shark Season! | Basking Shark Scotland

Basking shark out in the big blue!Although the drone makes it look like it would be super obvious to spot, this basking shark is mostly submerged in this clip. Meaning that from a distance, it can’t be seen from the boat. We would need to wait till it had risen in the water column and the fin was showing above the surface before we can watch it. Basking sharks move up and down in the water column A LOT! So you usually need a lot of patience to be able to watch them and one of the main reasons we

This is what you might have seen if you were in the water for yesterdays clip. Sometimes we'll see sharks travelling in 'trains' like this, we think one of the reasons they do this as it gives them a hydrodynamic advantage and increases feeding efficiency. .
