Shark Week may have just started on the Discovery Channel, and while it's a visceral thrill to watch on TV, the predators have been getting a little too close for comfort for Halle Berry, who is in South Africa working on her new movie, 'Dark Tide.' The actress has been filming in the same bay where great white sharks were seen breaching the surface while chasing decoy seals.

Seal Island, in False Bay, South Africa, is home to many of the sharks that will hit the screens for Shark Week and has been featured in many films. These sharks are known to chase a tasty morsel straight out of the water, so let's hope they find something more appetizing than the Oscar-winning actress. (Good luck with that one, Jaws!) Berry will be spending a lot of time in the water as she films 'Tide,' playing a diving instructor drawn to the rush of hunting for great white sharks.
