What started out with a bit of an overcast sky soon burned off and made for beautifully sunny and blue water cage diving day […]

Turning split-second shark encounters into great photos

This second trip in a month to Guadalupe was again, fantastic. The conditions for photography weren’t as amazing as last time but that didn’t stop the sharks from putting on a show. 15 I think individual sharks we saw. Great Whites are spectacular and a privilege to see and dive with. The crew has been […]
