Non-Cage dive with a White Shark

[lukeROB]

HOLY CRAP!

I just dived with a 4m Great White today. Thing just turned up behind a scorpion cod I was taking pics of. Hung around for a while (while I watched and thought of how the hell I was going to surface). I was setup for macro and because of my amazement took some pretty awkward photos.

But this is just an appertiser - I'll post them in a day or so, once I've calmed down a bit.

Very cool! Can't wait to see the shots - even if you were in macro mode...more than I expect to ever see

 

[Waterbase]

Maybe you mean HOPE to ever see ?
I'll watch out for the pics too, I'm very curious!

Is your breathing back to normal yet? Can't wait to see the pics!

cool, did you manage to keep a steady hand? Can't wait to see the pics.

Sweet! I'm not sure I'd be very cool in the water face to face with Bruce!

hey guys the pics are not great, as I said, but you definatly know what it is! :11:

And Dee even more then 12 hours later it is all I can think about.
It is one awesome creature. Now that I'm OK, I wish I was back there and took more shots and maybe a video. But the experience was worth it, the photos are a side note just to prove I was there.

Please post a couple of pictures anyway... Sure it will be thrilling

Go ahead and post the pics anyway. We promise not to criticise!
