Awesome shot :) I'm thinking never trust a smiling shark :P

Thanks! But you know, there were many times when the sharks looked like they really were coming to get us, but they always turned away too soon, without getting quite close enough. They're not afraid, but they do seem to be wary.

I love love love sharks... I'm convinced that if I went into a cage and I saw one of these bad boys I would pee... or faint... wow

"...looks like he wants to play..." - sounds like what these owners of pit bull dogs always say when you meet them with their o-so-cute little killer machines... ;-) Great shot !!

Hi Frederick,
This shot is very nice, can you tell me what did he do after the shot, please? :)
Thanks
frederick.roeber (57 months ago | reply)
I'm afraid he merely turned and made another lazy loop around the boat. They mostly just circled around, only occasionally going for the bait. The only times they got close to us was when they were following the bait as it was being hauled in, and accidentally overshot and came up to the cages.

This photo shows how bi-nocularly these guys can see. Whales can only see down with binocular vision. Depth of field must be really important in a sharks "line of work"

Something like this only happened once to me with a very small shark. If this monster was coming towards me, I think I would have had a heart attack!
