The most horrifying moment is when two scuba divers approach dangerously close to a gigantic acoda, the world’s largest fish. Bartolomeo Bove and his companion Jca Ygarape had what most people would consider to be the most terrible event of their lives: a nightmare come true. They took the outdoor camera, but some people had difficulty seeing it.
Bove, a professional diver and marine cinematographer, has long been captivated with underwater monsters like great white sharks and green anacondas, the world’s biggest snakes.
Yet, unlike sharks, it is incredibly difficult to view a green anaconda in its native habitat, as they often reside in South American swamps. Because of its crystal clear waters, the Brazilian Formoso River is the only site on Earth where they can be seen.
“The rivers and bodies of water near Bonito are the only areas in South America where anacondas can be found in crystal clear waters, therefore diving with them is conceivable,” Bove explained.
So Bove and Ygarape proceeded in search of this behemoth, and luckily for them, they did not return empty-handed. The two divers came face to face with an incredible beast deep in the Formoso River: a 23-foot-long, almost 200-pound Green Anaconda.
Although seeing such a large monster swimming next to you may be terrifying, the divers claim that anacondas are actually quite calm, and their movie shows it.
“The anaconda swims calmly and peacefully, utterly unconcerned by our presence – occasionally she comes closer, intrigued about my camera [and] licks the lens,” said Bove. “The anaconda’s behavior disproves the idea that it is a hostile and violent monster capable of endangering people’s lives.”
Yet, this colossus is still a predator and must be approached with caution!
“It is undeniably an incredibly powerful predator and the biggest of all snakes that can respond if threatened,” Bove remarked. “As a result, they must be handled with great respect.”
