Shark Bait is the real story behind Bondi’s Drone Shark social media sensation.

Most of us are scared of sharks. As soon as we slip into deep water, there’s a lurking fear that something is going to charge up from the inky depths and attack us.

Surf-loving Bondi builder, Jason Iggleden, had that same deep-seated fear of the mythical man-eating monsters.

Which is why he threw everything into creating a patented drone technology system to save surfers from shark attacks.

Rising before dawn each day to patrol Bondi Beach with his drone, he was in for a massive shock. More sharks than he ever imagined.

But their behaviour around swimmers and surfers has surprised everyone. Capturing these amazing moments of wildlife and human interaction, with stunning aerial cinematography, has drawn in a legion of fans from across the world.

Five years on, the experience has been transformative, turning Jason into an accidental activist. But his ongoing obsession with our oceans apex predator has blinded him to the real killers lurking at the beach.
