Taken during a natural predation event of an Humpback Whale Carcass, no cages, just 2 to 3 GW's, 15+ Tigers, Bulls, Dusky's and Oceanic Black tips, a whale carcass and a few divers (who may be a little crazy)
"Sneaky"
I cannot get enough of the different expressions the Oceanic Black Tips have when you photograph them! This guy behind the main shark in frame is just to cool.....its a "hehehe I have a plan" look!
"Cap la Houssaye" - Divers exploring the volcanic tunnels at the dive site.
"Great White"
On the 22.08.2015 my life changed forever and I was fortunate enough to dive with 3 of the oceans top apex predators, GW, Tigers and Zambezi's without any cages or restrictions! Here is one of the images.
shortlistedShortlisted!
Natural predation of a Humpback Whale carcass by sharks including some Great Whites of the coast of KwaZulu Natal, South Africa.

A black tip slowly cruises past with the late afternoon sun glistening on her back, just something so surreal about this image and actually witnessing the moment in the water.
"Speed" - this image really brings a smile to my face every time I look at it!

The lighting here is incredible! Paired with an excellent pose, this shot is a well deserved winner.
Red and Blue I see Raggies two wink
"The Gathering"
These guys are pretty territorial and defend their areas with vigour, so pretty cool to see 4 of them together.
"The Order of Things" - Life in the ocean is so unknown, yet we fly to the moon, experiment on Mars, all our research to find a human habitat in space in stead of understanding the ocean, a habitat that supports earth!!! A rather crazy notion!!!
