I love sharks. They are majestic and inspiring. I saw a great white while diving on the Great Barrier Reef but it was (luckily) far away.
In June 2013, we went to South Africa and took the opportunity to see sharks in Shark Alley. I hope our underwater photos capture some of the awe we felt during this experience. It was difficult to take photos because we were often just awe-struck.

I like this photo because you can see the tail movement, the little fish, and the sun streaming into the water.

Great pictures but who is the idiot with her fingers outside the cage in photo #5?

Fantastic !! Thanks for sharing this experience. I have dreamed of doing this for a very long time now. Ever since I discovered the South Africa phenomena, I have wanted to see “Flying Sharks”. I am actually terrified of sharks. I have had 2 very close encounters with sharks as a young boy, and it scares me to even watch them on television. But I KNOW I want to be in a shark cage, and watch these amazing creatures. I want to break free of my irrational fear, and enjoy these animals in their natural environment. Again, Thank you for sharing your photos 🙂
