Fantastic! What kind of sharks are those?

And also, what type of camera did you use? Such a lovely and clear picture.

I took them with my Canon G6/Ike housing and a single DS-50ttl... This trip was a major test for my camera and I do believe I will be very happy with it for a while.

A variety of reef shark, grey or black tip. Very cool.

This was my first shark dive and it was great. I've been surfing with sharks for years so the fear factor is not really there; but it was a very calming experience. They were also very photogenic. I know that it's not natural and this is not the real behavior of sharks but it was fun and I saw people who were terrified before come out grinning from ear to ear.

I would suggest a camera w/ video mode cuz it's worth it although I wish I would've had a red filter. Flash is not necessary if it's shallow -50 ft and good available light.

I must admit however I do process my images through photoshop.

Nice pics!
Where would you need a red filter? You can always manually adjust your white balance with a white slate or propably shoot in raw aswell.

And when it comes to photoshopping.. so do we

Very nice. Love the second picture, really good clarity and the shark is positioned where you're not looking completely up, but face on. They're all very cool.

Nice pics. Now you have your first shark dive under your belt it's time for some great whites,,,,,,,,,,,???

I'm game for any type! I ain't scared of no sharks!

Red filter would be for the video.

Also I would love a W/A lense... I'm saving up!
