maui shark mystery

Hawaii attracts the biggest and the baddest. We’re talking big waves, big whales, and of course, big sharks. Tiger sharks are Hawaii’s most dangerous man-eaters. They are responsible for most of the shark attacks in Hawaii’s waters, and a recent discovery has shown that high numbers of tiger sharks from across the state of Hawaii converge in Maui during the winter months. The question is – why?

Now, Hawaii’s most formidable predator may have finally met its match. Maui Shark Mystery follows the all-female, no-nonsense, badass research team willing to come face-to-face with these sharks to find answers. They’re investigating the connection between Hawaii’s tiger sharks and its biggest natural phenomenon: The Pacific humpback whale migration. So much about this relationship remains unexplained, and only the sharks can provide answers. To unlock these secrets, the team needs to get on the sharks’ level - in their turf. It’s a high-risk, high-reward mission, but these women will do whatever it takes to get the data. So, they’re diving in headfirst... and not looking back.
