Awesome pics!! What kind of camera?

Camera was a cannon HD camcorder with a Cannon case. I have over 40 mins of HD video to go through and edit so that will be posted later but the pics do not do these beautiful creatures justice It's amazing what millions of years of evolution can do the perfect predators...

Nice! I just did a shark dive also in Dubai. Makes you feel alive doesnt it? LOL

Yeah it's awesome they just move so gracefully through the water... How is the diving in Dubai other than the shark dive?

What's the story with the 4th pic? What was all that stuff doing sitting on the ocean floor? What was it? Cinder blocks?

The cinder blocks are there to give you something to hold onto if there's a decent current and or wave action and also are the observations stations during the feeding session of the dive. After the feeding was done we were free to hang around with the sharks and explore a little. The plastic tote is where they put the food (fish tails from the local markets)

Nice pictures man! I am thinking about making a trip out there next year for my 30th birthday. What all is there to do other than watch the airplanes come in LOL. Anyone that has been there can also chime in or just PM me so I don't divert the thread to much. :beer:

The dive we did was an aquarium dive with White Tips, Black Tips, Bow Mouth Sharks, and lots of other stuff.

I have been diving in Kor***khan here in the UAE and it was awesome! We also went to Oman and did the Musandam dive. The weather was crappy that day and the current was horrible. But I hear its awesome every other day! LOL
