On a recent dive just off Vancouver Island we ran into a school of 12-15 Spiny Dogfish Sharks. They were standoffish at first then this 5-6 footer swam up for a closer look and I managed to get this close up from only a couple 4-5ft away! Enjoy!

Standing out in a Crowd! There always has to be one part of a subject that doesn't quite fit the norm. In this case one of several hundred jacks in a large bait ball was going the opposite direction.
