Huge props to Sven and other members of Terra Mater crew for going to such depths and taking such risks to bring us this glorious footage of nile crocodiles.

I didn't know crocs had caves
-
I imagine that you'd be relatively safe underwater with these guys since they tend to ambush large prey on the waters edge, and only hunt (much smaller) fish underwater. But I don't know if I'd have been willing to bet my life on that! Massive respect to the film crew 👏

I've had the pleasure of visiting the Okavango and it's one of the most magical places I've visited. The huge crocs I've been around in North Australia were small compared to the monsters in the delta. Extremely brave divers. Great video hope there's an extended version at some point!
