A breach is the result of a high speed approach to the surface with the resulting momentum taking the shark partially or completely clear of the water.
This is a hunting technique employed by great white sharks whilst hunting seals. This behavior often takes place on cape fur seals at Seal Island in False Bay, South Africa but due to the randomness of the location of a shark's breach, it was very hard to document.
It was first photographed by Chris Fallows and Rob Lawrence who developed the technique of towing a slow moving seal decoy to trick the sharks to breach.
Here, in the region of 600 natural predatory events are recorded annually from April to September each year. The seals swim on the surface and the great white sharks launch their predatory attack from the deeper water below.
They can reach speeds of up to 40 kilometres per hour (25 mph) and can at times launch themselves more than 10 feet (3.0 m) into the air.
Data recorded shows that the sharks are successful in just under 50% of all these natural predatory events.
In 2011, a 3 metres (9.8 ft) long shark jumped onto a seven-person research vessel off Seal Island in Mossel Bay.
The crew were undertaking a population study using sardines as bait, and the incident was judged to be an accident.
The above video was taken in Mossel bay this summer.
