    Scott Fairchild enjoys many outdoor hobbies, including drone photography at the beach. The native Californian got lucky over the weekend when he captured several juvenile white sharks swimming in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Del Mar, oftentimes right next to surfers.

    Due to visibility, sometimes surfers or swimmers will be just feet away from a shark in the ocean but are unable to see it for themselves in the moment.

    “You can tell they don’t see it,” said Fairchild with a laugh.
