Great big white shark swimming around on the surface

Location: At anchor Guadalupe Island, Mexico

Comments: Slow start today and we didnโ€™t see our first great big white shark until 10:30. We have seen 2 in the last hour and a half but they are staying fairly deep, swimming up to the surface and then going deep again. Not quite sure what to make of it. All the other โ€œgreat white shark boatsโ€ are here โ€“ the Solmar V, Horizon, Islander and Searcher so it is very sociable. I went over to visit with Patric Douglas (Shark Diver) on the Islander and he had 2 sharks around his boat. I found myself wondering if it was really such a good idea to be standing off in a rubber (inflatable) boat watching great big white sharks swimming around on the surface right beside me. Those sharks looked bigger than the inflatable!!
