Diving with Tiger Sharks and Photographing in the Bahamas 2016
The trip always starts with the packing. I packed as efficiently as possible. Years of experience has taught me what I need and what is not necessary. I picked up a nice bottle of rum to enjoy after the dives and to with the delicious and fresh meals.

We boarded the boat in West Palm Beach and were on our way to the Bahamas overnight. After the stop for customs and immigration checks we headed out to deep water for our first dives.
The first sharks to react to our chum and scent trail were the lemon sharks and some caribbean reef sharks. It always takes a few dives to bring in the tiger sharks. The day there was just one small one then by the last day we were attracting 5 at a time.
During the course of the dive week, the captain moves the boat to different locations. One of my favorite is the beds of eel grass with their green glow. We also anchor near a reef where we can get shots of sharks cruising over the sponges and fans and also see some reef fish.
