I was fortunate enough spend a few days off the West End of the Bahamas with Epic Diving and pals Vinnie and Deb Canabal.  Along with Joe Romeiro, these die hard shark divers are offering more intimate encounters on the infamous tiger beach.  Brian Skerry, from National Geographic, was also on board for a brief scouting trip.  I have been lucky enough to work with Brian before on our World Cat photographing basking sharks and humpback whales here off Cape Cod.harks and whales here on Cape Cod.

The first time I visited tiger beach in 2005 there were a few tigers around.  Last visit in 2012 and we had an average of six tiger sharks on a dive.  On this trip we had over 13 tigers on a single dive!  Better, we only had a few lemon and a half dozen reef sharks to distract us from the big and bold tiger sharks.  The action was “hot’, with even the well known large female tiger named Emma joining us on our dives.  And Vinnie, Joe, and Deb know how to get the sharks in close and get the shot.  It was over the top!
