I took this beautiful image of Kate the Tiger Shark with her entourage of Cobia way back when I discovered and named Tiger Beach during the time that Mike Walker was the master of Shear Water, our shark expedition vessel! During that era, I was criticized heavily, labeled insane and controversial, because I pioneered large predatory cageless shark dives worldwide with many of what was considered in those days as the most dangerous sharks! I never defended myself as I knew that sharks don’t seek out humans as a prey source, in fact it’s very hard to even get close! Today many of those hardest critics, have followed in my footsteps and now also do cageless shark interactions! I believe Tiger Beach has become the very best place worldwide, for Large Predatory sharks up close! I’m delighted to have been the path finder, changing the reputation of sharks worldwide!
Sadly I have witnessed immense shark populations disappear which is why I relentlessly do all I can to save them as well as the rest of our beautiful planets wildlife! I’m eternally grateful to all of you for following me and helping me spread my message of conservation!
