Hemsworth, who grew up in Australia, was joined by legendary 85-year-old conservationist Valerie Taylor for the doc.
The pair could be seen going for a swim in one clip, diving off the coast of Australia to see grey nurse sharks.
тАЬComing face-to-face with them, itтАЩs hard to put into words the serene beauty of these magnificent creatures,тАЭ Hemsworth gushed, adding: тАЬJust amazing.тАЭ

The star explained how where he lives, theyтАЩve just had the worst bate of fatal shark encounters in a century. Luckily though, grey nurse sharks only eat small fish and crustaceans from the sea floor.
тАЬItтАЩs such a privilege seeing these massive creatures up close,тАЭ Hemsworth said.
Despite the grey nurse sharks not usually harming humans, Hemsworth then kicked things up a notch by helping take an anal swab from a great white shark.
The тАЬThorтАЭ star said, holding up the medical device: тАЬAll for science. So letтАЩs dig in, shall we?тАЭ
тАЬSorry about that, mate,тАЭ Hemsworth, who made sure to confirm that the process was painless for the shark, added in a clip shared by Entertainment Weekly.
