SEPTEMBER 1-6, 2003, GREAT WHITE SHARKS
[back to prep] [next: sea lions]

Great white sharks are cool. I tried to prune the number of images on this page, but I still ended up with too many!

We saw more than twelve individuals during our four days of cage time, and the sharks became more and more aggressive as the days went by. By the last day, individuals were routinely bumping the cage, one of them rendering the cage on the stern side inoperable by tearing through the air supply tubing running to the boat! It looks like Doc will have some repair work to do when we return to dock. Mike Dukes got some fantastic topside footage of the shark going through those cables. They are posted on the topside photos page.
