If you’re a regular watcher of Discovery Channel, then you know that Shark Week is quickly approaching. It starts August 1st and this year looks to be exciting, full of new programming for viewers to tune in for.

In the past few years, MythBusters and Dirty Jobs have gotten in on the shark action, airing a few fascinating shark-related episodes. Discovery is working with Image Entertainment on bringing some of these episodes to home video. “Shark Week: The Great Bites Collection” is now available on both DVD and high definition Blu-ray formats.

I just bought the Blu-ray version and I can’t wait to watch it. Here is a breakdown of what is on the discs:

Surviving Sharks
For “Survivorman” Les Stroud, staying alive against odds is nothing new, but this time he’ll be showing us how to survive a swimmer’s worst fear.

How Not to Become Shark Bait
Join a group of amateur shark enthusiasts as they dive into the warm waters of the Caribbean to find out how easy it is to wind up on the menu.

Mysteries of the Shark Coast
Northeastern Australia boasts the world’s largest concentration of sharks… but that appears to be changing. A team of top scientists seeks an answer to why these magnificent predators are disappearing.

MythBusters: Shark Special 2
Jamie, Adam and the MythBusters team return to the water to take a bite out of some of the better-known shark myths.

Day of the Shark
Everywhere in the world, whenever swimmers get into the ocean, they enter the domain of sharks. Learn what happens when unsuspecting victims break a few simple shark rules.

Dirty Jobs: Greenland Shark Quest
To find what may be the world’s most mysterious shark, Mike Rowe joins a team of scientists to go ice-fishing in Canada’s frigid far north.

BONUS FEATURES:

Shark Attack Files IV: Swimmer of the Shark
Travel the globe to witness the stories of actual shark attacks and the victims who survived… and some who didn’t.

Dirty Jobs: Jobs That Bite
In South Africa’s deadly waters, Mike Rowe takes a job cutting chum for shark bait and then jumps in to see if any Great Whites are interested in a snack.

Dirty Jobs: Jobs That Bite… Harder
Mike Rowe helps create replica sharks, builds a shark-proof suit, and then jumps into the water to test the suit on real live sharks in the Bahamas.

As you can see, there is a lot of great content here. Those episodes of Mike were some of the memorable we’ve seen. Amazon has these for a great price right now and the Blu-ray is even cheaper than the DVD as of the publishing of this article.
