When a vacation comes to mind, most of us think about a warm place on the beach or by a gorgeous pool, soaking up the rays while someone brings you a cocktail with carribbean music in the background. Well what if I said…let’s go vacationing on a private boat, do some diving with several (3 or more!) tiger or lemon sharks? Yes, I said diving with many sharks. The private boat sounded good, even the diving – but with sharks – most people would say – I’ll pass!
But we all know, Guy Harvey just does not fall into the “most people” category. We live through Guy’s tenacity and fearless drive to know the marine life. Recently Guy took a trip, and I had the honor of hearing the stories first hand. I also was shown several AWESOME photos that were taken by Neil Hammerschlag. So, I could not wait to share them with Guy Harvey fans, shark fans, etc.

Words cannot describe the feeling you get when you view these pictures away. The purpose of the trip was to try and find if the sharks are still alive, dive with them, and to record enough footage for use in a
made-for-TV show and as a source of inspiration for Guy to come home and paint them in their natural environment. Guy accomplished all this and more. In fact Guy would like to go back with other marine biologists to record the number of sharks and possibly place tags in the sharks to record their movements.
Stay tuned as I have more fantastic photographs that I will post at a later date.
