Last week we embarked on a Great White Shark diving expedition to Guadalupe island aboard the Nautilus Explorer Belle Amie. The crew on this top-notch operation gave us a thrilling experience as they lowered our cages into the baited waters of Baja California. Originally, I wasn’t too excited about cage diving but the intensity of the shark activity outside the cages was enough to keep even the bravest divers tucked inside. To capture this image, I hung outside the cage for just a moment, holding onto the bars as the massive great whites swirled around us. By the second day, I was happy to enjoy the show from the safety of the cage.
