What a wonderful story of the achievements of Ron and Valerie Taylor. Just loved watching this. But so sad to see Valerie in pain putting on her famous pink wetsuit at the end. I cried. She's so lovely and what a beautifully wonderful human being xx.
Growing up watching Ron and Valerie documentaries, I was excited to watch "Playing with Sharks" and being able to learn more about the life of Valerie Taylor.
Both Ron and Valerie Taylor are/were such assets to Australian marine life, and world marine life, especially in relation to sharks.
This documentary was mesmerizing. Valerie is such a strong woman and national treasure. I would love to see an actual film done about her life, with perhaps Margot Robbie playing her part.
If you love sharks and the Taylors then definitely do not miss out on this documentary.
I had just a few weeks before watching this documentary rewatched the classic Blue Water, White Death documentary, when Valerie and Ron had gone on search of Great Whites in South Africa in the 70's with other marine experts. How times have changed, it was quite destressing to relive seeing the slaughter of whales.
Definitely take the time to watch Playing with Sharks, you will not be disappointed, and lets hope some Aussie film maker decides to make a biopic about Valerie and Ron.

Beautifully done. Very educational and changed the way I look at sharks. Her and her husband have had such a positive impact on preservation of these animals.
Valerie has had amazing adventures, life and the end will melt your heart and make you want to have more adventures!

Ron and Valerie Taylor are an asset to this world and hopefully will breed new generations of conservationists for years to come.
Sharks are amazing creatures, not monsters.
