Great White on the Naeco?

Anyone hear about this?

Just curious since that is one fish I would love to video.

Yeah, Gavin posted pictures on Facebook. I guess it hung out with him from 130'-30' before it disappeared.

That's what I heard but wanted to see some vid or pics.

I don't know Gavin or do FB.

Randy, just keep diving Hatteras and you might get the chance. I saw one August year ago drifting off the Tarpon when doing the deco. Sneaked up behind us, turned around and there it was about five to ten feet deeper and fifteen feet away looking me over. It turned and with one flip of the tail, which was huge, it moved off. I didn't have a camera but the pic is in my brain forever. Third one I've seen and this one was the biggest.

Dave we are down almost every month this season. Hopefully Poseiden will be kind this year and let one swim in on us. I think they are an amazing creature that few people ever get to see in person. Being on the water a lot, you have way more opportunities than us recreational divers.

Gavin is one of the mates on olympus...this is one of the pics he posted.

Tom, looks like the picture you meant to include didn't post? I'd like to see it.

Yeah I had to go back and reattach it. Let's just say me and technology don't always play well together...lmao

 

[drrich2]

Wow. Just looking at the photo, without any visual references to gauge its size against, you can still tell that thing's big. Wonder how long?

Richard.

He said it was around 15'....and it was about 12' away when at that point. Untagged.
