Hi all,

I emailed Tom, and he says the flash was used in all photos.

> what camera!?

The camera was a Nikon D70, six megapixel digital SLR w/ wide-angle lens.

He says he sold his D70 and waiting for the D200 to arive...

its pricey, but great photos are great photos!

Was that with Stuart Cove's? I really wanted to do the shark feeding dive when I was there in November. However, my wife won so I just did two days of standard dives which were great anyway with the walls, shipwrecks and some sharks. Did you feel safe? I need more evidence to convince her it is safe so I can do it next time.

Yes, the shark dive with Stuart Cove's is safe. I was fortunate enough to be the only person in the water with the divemaster on the two tank shark diving experience. The first dive, the sharks meander around you with the expectation of being fed. The second dive is the actual feeding. If you are taking pictures, use the widest lense that you have since they come VERY close. We were both bumped a couple of times but this was incidental contact. The sharks are totally focused on the food not even remotely interested in the divers. BUT noone should ever hand feed a shark and they do not.
