    The image was taken near Tiger Beach last August and this was a thoroughly planned shark dive aboard the Shear Water. We do not feed the sharks but we do chum the water. Being at the right place at the right time ...always helps! Just a little inside info. I will be doing an artcle for Dive Photo Guide describing the shot. Thanks and Save the Sharks! TN Diver

    Sorry about that. As you can see, I linked it from that UK news site who put their name on it. Using Google Image Search I see that it's been used on a hundred sites including several with that story, several others. Maybe you need to mark your pics?
    You can test the tanks you breathe or - dive on hope.
    Testing is safer...


    Great news for vacation divers who cannot talk themselves into buying a personal CO tank tester!

    >> Rent one for a week or longer here <<
    Now let's see more CO readings in your trip reports, ok...??

    Thats exactly why I do watermark mine. Then atleast they cant say "didnt know" if I confront them..

    Nice pic tho
    I wonder if periodic short term exposure to risk can decrease your longterm risk of accidents. I hope it does..

    Tn-In light of the fact that you don't claim you were "attacked," that is a nice shot! I've been ripped off, too (although not as bad as this), so I started adding watermarks. That way I don't mind when people "borrow" shots as it is free advertising! Cheers!
    1. Always use the right tool for the job.
    2. A hammer is always the right tool.
    3. Anything can be used as a hammer.
