Great White Beaching

So even though this isn't a full picture of the great white breaching but I did get to see the full thing in real life. It was the most spectacular and amazing thing to witness. You can see the extra push of water coming from the shark. This is something they do when they atrack cape cur seals from below. It is truly breathtaking and happens soooo quickly! Seeing this on the biat qith Chris and Monique and hearing their excitement of getting the shot with their cameras was something the was so exhilarating down to my core. How many people get to witness such and amazing thing with their favorite shark photographer?

Daily Itinerary

Everyone keeps asking me what I will be doing so this post will be the itinerary that has been sent to my from Apex Sharks Expedition. As you can tell I will be spending a lot of time on the water learning about sharks. The great thing is that our time out on the water will be in the morning and I will have afternoons to do some additional activities and exploring. This is, of course, subject to change depending on weather - it's their winter. I am super thrilled about learning about the sharks, their habits, how to identify them, and learning what we can do to help protect them but I will also be in such a diverse area that I will have some opportunities to do other things and see even more wildlife. My flights are extremely long. Going to Cape Town will take about 25 hours and then coming home it will take about 28 hours. Even though I have some really cool layovers they are only about 2 hours each and so I won't get to explore some of Amsterdam or Paris. Day 1: 16 Aug...

Fangirling Out

So the first day I got to meet Chris Fallows, my favorite shark photographer - and my inspiration for working on my own photography (esp water and nature) - I literally squealed like a girl at a boy band concert (it's how I image my friend Peeper when she sees NKTOB). He came over an gave me hug and as amazing as that was then we went out on the boat for our first dive Chris and his wife went with us. His wife, Monique, is even sweeter and such a caring person and was very compassionate in helping me deal with the embarrassment of throwing up due to seasickness. It made me feel so much better when she said she suffered seasickness for about two years when she started being out on the boat. They did not go out with our second dive but we they did tell use they would try to see us when we went to Mossel Bay. Once we were in Mossel Bay we learned that Chris and Monique would be there for a week and we were given a chance to go ...
