In Polish

Valeri Taylor is a living legend in the diving world. In the 50s of the 20^th c. she was a shark hunter. With time, she replaced her spear with a camera and became an activist who protects these dangerous animals. She was brave enough to come closer to a shark than anyone. She survived its attack and made friends with a white shark. She cooperated with Spielberg on “Jaws” and conquered the diving world which is dominated by men. Her zeal and passion resulted in the common knowledge of sharks and the way we see them.
