Great White Sharks (Video by me)

In 2018, I was invited to go on a trip to Isla Guadalupe, Mexico to go down in a submersible twice to see great white sharks at depth. Having been to Isla Guadalupe over a dozen times previously to photograph great whites, it was the thrill of my lifetime to see them in the water column and on the bottom 250’ (76m) below.

Upon our decent we immediately spotted sharks and by the time we were at the bottom we had multiple sharks swimming around our sub. It was amazing to be feet away from them with nothing but the plexiglass canopy between us. This video is from my first dive.

The sub we used was manufactured by Triton Submarines and the support vessel was the M/Y Sharkwater provided by Fins Attached.
