A tough little REMUS-100 underwater vehicle was outfitted with several cameras by a team at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and captured some amazing footage of Great White Sharks doing what they do best.

Syfy returns with the sequel to its hit B-movie with a sequel that has New York City invaded by armies of airborne killer sharks. Yes, it looks horribly stupid, but isn’t that the point? Premieres 7/30. Also, we want a Sharknado video game.

Discovery’s Shark Week 2014 kicks off on August 10th. To whet our appetite for the deadly and awesome creatures, they put together a little commercial spot. We hope you enjoy it.

Syfy’s latest low-budget monster movie pits a massive, massively pissed-off real shark against a giant mechanical shark built to defeat it. Oh, and apparently sharks can fly now. Who will win this epic battle? The audience, that’s who.

It’s a peaceful day of fun and sun at the ocean, when somebody has to show up and ruin the day by pouring a hot cup of joe and releasing a sea full of angry sharks. Though the dishwasher or microwave will kill them all.

In honor of Shark Week, Richard Ryan gives us some fascinating and artistic info, as he shoots hollow point and 9mm ammo underwater and presents it to us in the glorious slow motion.

(NSFW: language) Isaac Brumaghim was minding his own business, kayak fishing, when he received an unexpected visitor. His reaction is priceless (and way better than if Chompy had actually made contact). (Thanks everybody!)

(NSFW: Language) Bryan Plummer watches as his pal Roger takes a cage dive to check out some sharks. Too bad somebody forgot to tell the great white that paid Roger a visit that the cage was designed to keep sharks out.

Freediver Ocean Ramsey hung out with a great white shark for GoPro. The video was shot entirely with an HD Hero2. Learn more about sharks and buy photos of the encounter on Water Inspired.

If you’re ok with never stepping in the ocean again, then please fill your screen with this amazing HD footage of sharks attacking seal decoys caught with a high speed camera. Jeepers creepers indeed.

You’d think that divers would have learned their lesson. You never want to leave your camera for even a second when there are sharks around. Best comment: “he took it to a prawn shop.”

With Shark Week coming up, there’s no better way to take care of your dirty socks and undies but to feed them to this floor-standing great white laundry shark hamper by ultramaryna. Sold out for now.

Diver Jim Abernethy was underwater capturing footage of a blue marlin, when out of the depths a 10-foot-long mako shark pops into the frame, giving him one serious pants-wetting moment.

Ever since Jaws, Hollywood just can’t seem to let go of the shark attack genre. In this over-the-top flick, a supermarket turns into a watery, shark-infested grave when a tsunami strikes. Yeah, right.

Steven Spielberg’s summer blockbuster Jaws gets the high-definition treatment – with 7.1 upmixed soundtrack – as part of Universal Studios’ 100th anniversary. You’re gonna need a bigger TV.

In the new book, 100 Facts About Sharks, you’ll learn dozens of things you never knew about sharks – all of which are completely fabricated. Wonder if their book about pandas is any more accurate.
