PICS & VIDEO: Pregnant SA freediver swims among pregnant sharks

Durban - For the first time ever, audiences are going to get the chance to view the incredibly rare footage of four-time South African freediving champion, Beth ‘The Mermaid’ Neale, experiencing a truly unique maternal experience of swimming among pregnant ragged tooth sharks - while pregnant herself.

It was during the filming of this inaugural season that Beth discovered she was pregnant with her first child, however, following extensive research on freediving and pregnancy, they took the informed decision to keep filming the journey of Mozambique coastline from Ponto to Ouro to Vilankulous and Bazaruto, through the pristine atolls of the Maldives.

She said it had been a privilege spending time with pregnant ragged tooth sharks in iSimangaliso Wetland Park, a place which provides a sanctuary for these sharks to gestate and give birth. She added that it was important to showcase a real ‘homegrown ocean conservation success story’ amidst the many challenges facing the oceans today.“Protecting these areas and the species in them is so important for our daughter’s future, and the generations to come. We look forward to the day she is diving with us to experience these sharks in her own way,” he said.
