They came so fast from the deep to break the surface and in less than a second, the whole shark’s body was completely out of the water!!

I saw today the biggest great white shark I have seen here at Guadalupe Island on board the Nautilus Explorer: “Dotty!” We estimated her to be at least 5 meters (16-17ft) in length.

Many large sharks, the big females, are starting to arrive, with several individuals at 13ft plus and some as large as 15ft!

“Rhett” and three of his friends kept circling, fast and close, until “Rhett” did a partial breach to grab the bait and came at us with jaws wide open.
