Listen Later

All The Sharks Netflix introduces us to a new way of seeing sharks—not as mindless monsters, but as awe-inspiring animals coexisting with skilled divers. In this episode of Beyond Jaws, Aliah Banchik, one of the contestants on the show, takes us through her experience competing in this thrilling underwater game show. She opens up about what it was really like swimming among sharks, the rigorous training involved, and the relationships she built with fellow contestants and apex predators alike.

Aliah also discusses the emotional and physical toll of filming a show that centers sharks without villainizing them. She reflects on the shift in tone the show brought to shark storytelling, highlighting how production teams and divers worked to prioritize safety, education, and science over fear. This episode also explores Aliah’s background in marine conservation and how she hopes to inspire others through her work in and out of the water.
