Going in 2 weeks to do the Great White Shark trip on the Nautilus Explorer. Wondering if anyone has done any of these trips and has any tips or suggestions on best ways to photograph them
 
Been a long time since we did this trip, website has trip report, gallery and Multimedia show Aquablue Dreams. When in the cage the outside corners are the prime spots so negotiate some type of rotation with your cage mates. We found the sharks tended to stay on the side the current was pushing the bait away from the cage. I found the 17-35mm lens was just about perfect. You could go wider once you have some shots in the can. Get comfortable shooting natural light, but have strobes for close passes. If you have a drysuit bring it, I got "lucky" and many on our trip would skip rounds in the cage so I was able to stay in the water all day. You will have a great time.
