'Shark Week's' Joe Romeiro captures heart-racing photos and videos of sharks. Here are the stories behind some of his unforgettable images.
Let's say you're ready to ditch your ho-hum job and swap it out for a not-so-typical, always dangerous, adrenaline-pumping kind of career.
For Romeiro, the obsession began at 4 years old when his family moved from the Azores, an autonomous region of Portugal, to the United States. He couldn't speak English, so he gravitated mainly to monster movies and natural history films that required no translation. Anytime sharks were on the screen, he was enthralled.'I try and change the way people see sharks'
One thing's for certain: It's not your typical 9-to-5 job. While most people only think about sharks for a few weeks each summer, Romeiro has sharks on the brain every day of the week all year long. "Thankfully I noticed the reactions on my fellow divers' faces, and I knew that she was above me. I was able to push her off gently."
"Once you see them long enough, you can tell that different individuals have different personalities," he explains."You can see one, and it's like seeing a friend." When it comes to mastering the art of filming these apex predators, Romeiro says it's important to keep your head on a swivel. These are wild animals after all and therefore unpredictable.Michael Dornellas/Discovery Channel
