Diving with Great Whites!!!




















H0w many of you are afraid of going into the ocean because of sharks? I have never had that fear although I spend many hours in the water. I did however second guess myself when wanting to see the great beasts up close and personal. I was not worried about being close to the sharks but rather slightly worried about karma. Am pushing my luck? Time will only tell. The craziest part was how close to shore we actually were when seeing these magnificent creatures. We ended up seeing 6 great whites, one of which was huge. I know these pics don't live up to Shark week on the discovery channel but this is real life with a $250 olympus camera. The footage doesn't give it justice. Wow, they are big and aggressive. I think South Africa is the only place in the world that offers this. What an experience.

That's an experience most of us will never have, that's for sure! Glad you were in a cage! :)

So glad you were able to take photos to share with us and to remember the experience!

Crazy, like Kudlac said!
