Some of the highlights from the sixth annual SharkFest:

Shark v Tuna (July 16 at 6pm) Witness a clash of oceanic titans in the remote crystal-blue battlefields of Ascension Island. Yellowfin tuna, mako and tiger sharks are all apex predators, but to these sharks, yellowfin tuna are the ultimate prize. The tuna are often faster, fitter and bigger than the sharks, reaching well over 113kg. Any shark hunting these beasts needs brute strength and a little bit of luck to capture one. But when a third player enters the game, the scales tip. Who will win?

Big Sharks Rule (July 18 at 6pm) It is an ocean of giants. South Africa has a dramatic, rocky coast that is raked by churning currents. Warm, cold, rich and murky water collide to create Shark Central, with enough food to sustain the biggest. Giant sharks like great whites, tiger sharks, bull sharks, ragged tooth sharks, and whale sharks all reign supreme in these waters.

700 Sharks (July 17 at 6pm) Imagine diving into the ocean only to discover that you are surrounded by one of the largest shark frenzies on the planet. Well, that is exactly what these researchers did in the name of science. In Polynesia, the largest school of sharks — about 700 — patrols the waters en masse. Follow an international team of scientists as they study these magnificent creatures at night, when they are most aggressive, to discover their mysterious hunting strategies and social behaviours. The result: incredible new behaviours never seen before, or caught on camera.

When Sharks Attack: Anatomy of a Shark Attack

The show will run from July 16-20 July where experts break down stories from shark attack survivors, and the science behind shark behaviours and attack methods, to reveal how to handle an attack. Without a doubt, sharks are the most notorious and feared predators in the ocean. In recent years, the number of shark attacks around the world has risen, and understanding how these predators think and behave is more important than ever.
