My recent diving addiction… sharks.  A lemon shark buzzes overhead on an absolutely stunning day !
South Florida is home to many shark species.  We have some “regulars” that we look forward to seeing every year.  Two of our regular tigers include DJenny in the foreground and Patrick off in the distance.

Different species of sharks can coexist - we should learn from them.
Gramps – I didn’t intend to wake this lumbering loggerhead – but I had to photograph it !
Holy Whale Shark !  I enjoyed taking photos of the sharks close to the surface with the sunrays bursting around them, so I thought, hmmmm – it would be great to get a whale shark silhouette !  In hindsight, there are a couple of HUGE differences, whale sharks are MUCH larger and I’m not on scuba.  That was scary but I did get the shot !

Diver and Goliath: I find divers to be more challenging to photograph well than the fish! This photo needed work with a crop, extensive backscatter removal and getting rid of another photographers camera that intruded into the frame. I only thought it worth the work because of the eye contact between my wife Ann and the Goliath Grouper.
