Nice pics...it's great to see a sea-dweller being used for it's intended purpose , unlike my deepsea. The deepest it's been is the bottom of a swimming pool!

nuts ... hum don't think so
Sharks are not as bad as their reputation
of course diving with sharks needs
- knowing behaviors of the animal
- a certain dive skill
- be relax and carefull : it is not a zoo here, no fences or cage : just you and the animal

but belive me thoses are excellent dives

I thought one of the dangers of shark diving was the "unpredictability" of their behavior.

There are lots of myths around sharks
Tiger sharks are known for the one with the most attacks on humans, my pics does proove that with a knowledge of their behavior you can definitly dive with them
pictures are taken with a 16 mm wide angle on a Canon EOS 5D Mk II you can therefore imagine the distance between me and the shark ;)

JM, Love the Shark pics. I have not been as lucky to see as many Sharks. I have seen a couple in Grand Cayman, none in Bonaire or any of the other islands that I have been to. I guess I need to get out a little more.

I especially like this one.
