| SHARKS! THEY'RE NOT GHOSTS, BUT THEY SURE ARE CREEPY! WE SWIM WITH THEM WAY TOO OFTEN. - ESPECIALLY IN THE DARK PEOPLE LIKE TO PRETEND THEY'RE NOT SCARED -BUT THAT'S A CROCK OF CRAP!! THEY'LL KILL YOU IN A HEARTBEAT. AND AS SOON AS YOU LET DOWN YOUR GUARD, THEY GET YOU. THESE SHOTS ARE FROM OUR BAHAMAS EXPEDITION WHERE WE WERE CONTINUALLY SURROUNDED BY SOME VERY BELLIGERENT AND DANGEROUS SHARKS. -INCLUDING TWO LARGE HAMMERHEADS |
| A VULNERABLE MOMENT IN THIS SHOT LEE AND LYNN ARE DOING A DECO-STOP ON THE SHIP'S LINE. THE SHARKS CIRCLE CLOSER WITH EACH CYCLE AND WILL BUMP YOU IF YOU TURN YOUR BACK. THIS BASTARD WAS A FIN-NIPPER. IN OPEN WATER LIKE THIS YOU HAVE TO FIGHT THEM 720 DEGREES AND YOU'RE MUCH MORE OPEN TO ATTACK THAN ON THE BOTTOM |
| A BIG-ASS SHARK SLIDES-UP TO RAMIRO. (WITH CAMERA STROBE) THIS ONE WAS THICK! |
| BELOW IS THE VIEW WE HAD WHEN WE LOOKED UP TOWARD THE SURFACE. ON ONE DIVE WE HAD EIGHT SHARKS CIRCLING THE ROPE. |
| THE SHARK BELOW HAS AN ARCHED-BACK AND SCUPPED PECTORAL FINS. THIS IS A VERY BAD SIGN. WHEN YOU SEE THIS BEHAVIOR YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF THE WATER! -NOW! |
| THE BIG REEF SHARK ON THE LEFT IS JUST CURIOUS. WE COULD SAFELY SWIM WITH THIS SHARK, -FOR THE MOMENT. HE WAS COOL, AND WE SHOT LOTS OF FILM OF HIM. NOTE THE STRAIGHT BACK AND CASUAL PLANING PECTORAL FINS .HE'S JUST HOPING FOR A FREE MEAL FROM A SPEAR-FISHERMAN. |
| THIS BIG-BOY LURKED IN THE SHADOWS JUST OUT OF RANGE OF THE TEAM YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR EYE ON THEM BECAUSE ONCE THEY SEE YOU, THEY NEVER EVER LEAVE |
| LEFT -A CLASSIC PIC THERE'S SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL ABOUT THESE CREATURES DON'T YOU THINK? |
| HERE ARE SOME MORE PIX FROM THE SAME EXPEDITION |
