![great white necropsy]()
Comment from Capt. Mike: Top of the Food Chain?
Read MoreIt’s sad any time an animal dies. But sometimes it is also an opportunity. The folks at Marine Dynamics in South Africa, our partners in Global Shark Diving, participated in a very interesting collaborative necropsy on several great white sharks that washed up on the African shoreline. One of their conclusions? Orcas (killer whales) might be biting a hole between the pectoral fins of great white sharks to allow the sharks’ buoyant livers to float free and provide a high protein feast for the orcas! Note : Global Shark Diving is a collaboration that recognizes and supports the very best and most responsible shark tourism operators around the world. Each operator must demonstrate a significant and measurable contribution to conservation. GSD’s independent ambassadors include Howard and Michelle Hall and Douglas Seifert.

By the way, night snorkelling with silky sharks is really exciting! Socorro Island.
Read MoreWhat makes this trip really interesting, is its balance between challenging dives like Roca Partida and nice-n-easy dives like our first two at Socorro Island. Btw, night snorkelling with the Silky sharks is really exiting. – G Heute war der zweite Tauchgang der Hammer. 3 Mantas umkreisten uns, einer war so nah dass man ihn streicheln konnte. Dabei vergass ich alllerdings Raum und Zeit. Ich verbraucht die ganze Luft meiner Flasche. Au backe. Der Sicherheitsstop wurde gegen ein raketenmaessiger Aufstieg getauscht. Angela hatte ich verloren, aber meinen Manta hatte ich. Einfach unbeschreiblich. – Klaus
