OP
No, as I mention in the article the oceanic whitetips were "bold" but not "aggressive". They were not scared of us and moved in close to investigate but I never felt in danger. However, maybe I'm just stupid!

Oh my goodness! I don't know Ginnie Springs, is it a natural spring of beer or whiskey or something? Looks like an awesome place to be divingThanks, MissD and CheddarChick.
BTW, Tracy (MissD), here's a shot I got at Ginnie Springs the day after our Spanish Rocks dive last week. The viz at Ginnie was much better than Spanish Rocks !!!!
But seriously now, this is one kickass picture! Really, I'm blown away.
Thanks, MissD and CheddarChick.

Looks like we are the pupil in the Eye of God...... Wow
The whole article is great, Doug!
I had the experience of being in blue water with a bunch of black tipped reef sharks in Rangiroa. I found it a bit unsettling, even though I have absolutely no fear of those sharks. It's just having them around you in three dimensions is a little spooky. I can't imagine being with much larger sharks that were BUMPING you -- you're braver than I am! (Tell me truthfully, didn't the thought cross your mind that a few bubbles might come in handy there?)

OP
We were all on open circuit as the bait crates were only 15 feet deep. The blowing of bubbles didn't seem to make much of a difference to these guys, but the "big ass camera" was reassuring! My poor daughter only had a 2 foot long piece of 1/2 inch PVC pipe for her "protection" so she stayed pretty close to me and the other big cameras!

Does look like an eye of sorts.
