some mysteries are buried underwater
Coming soon …
A 3,000-foot drop-off. Two sharks. No body. One witness. An incredible story.
For more than half a century, the legend of the deepest shark attack in history has been told as fact.
An extraordinary tale of extreme survival, devastating tragedy, and almost unimaginable heroics: three divers. Two oceanic whitetip sharks. A terrifying encounter over one of the deepest drop-offs in the Caribbean.
The account has been repeated in books, magazines, documentaries, and throughout the diving and shark world for more than 50 years.
But on St. Croix, there have always been whispers…that something about the story didn’t add up.
Few people have ever gone back and seriously examined the evidence.
Until now.
Join journalist and Shark Week host Kinga Philipps and St. Croix resident and diver Cindy Clearwater as they return to Cane Bay…on land and beneath the waves…to investigate what really happened there in 1972.
They track down locals who were on the island at the time, examine accounts that have gone largely unquestioned for decades, consult dive experts and one of the country’s leading shark scientists, and follow the story wherever the evidence takes them.
What emerges is a deep dive into human nature, ambition, science, apex predators…and a few bombshells.
The Deepest Shark Attack in History launches in late Fall 2026.
We’ll be sharing updates as the investigation unfolds. In the meantime, follow us on social media for new discoveries, behind-the-scenes footage from St. Croix, and a closer look at the story that started it all.
