GoPro: Scuba diving with Giant Crocodile HD

Short video featuring a crazy dive in a swamp with a Siamese Crocodile http://freedom-divers.com

In may 2012, our Cinematographer, Nico Lurot, visited a crocodile sanctuary in North-Eastern Thailand's Surin province. While there, we leanrt that it was possible to get in the water and film these prehistoric reptiles "at your own risk". After some serious, serious deliberation and a great deal of hesitation, there was only 1 likmely outcome:
Underwater + dangerous animal = amazing footage opportunity!
How could we pass on such a great chance!?

Of course, we didn't, but there was as few times where the Croc got way to friendly for our liking. As you'll see while watching, there are 2 or 3 times where the big Croc has a serious bite in our direction.
We've been in the water with Tiger Sharks, Killer Whales, Bull Sharks, and incorrectly thought the the same techniques could be applied to a Croc: in other words, give the animal plenty of room, be wary of any erratic behaviour, and always have a means to exit the water quickly.

Well, as we learnt while filming this modern dinosaur, the skills are not transferable from fiulming sharks and whales to filming a croc! We were given a few serious scares, but having come out unscathed, we wouldn't trade this experience for anything! Terrifying, yes, but oh, so worth it!
Would you dare?
