I've read that when you're in open water, you're always within some small distance from a shark -- looks like pretty persuasive evidence of that claim!
Hi 2Sweet - Sorry -- didn't mean to leave anybody hanging there in suspense. No, there was no problem at all. The shark sort of swam past that diver and went on its way. The diver was completely engrossed in taking a macro shot of something tiny and never even saw the shark. We told him about it later.

Soo blue!!! Nice shot!Mine is HERE if you have a time! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the shark was going after the diver! Haha! Happy WW! :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there was one checking out your back side, too?
ReplyDeleteVery wonderful underwater shot!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I'd hate to be that diver. Hihihihi!
Happy WW!
My WW entry is here.
Scary!!! But I guess as long as the diver holds his breathe and is not in anyway bleeding. He should be pretty safe near that shark :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing piece of photography as always, Bobbie. I know now what you mean by the right blue.
ReplyDeleteNow that is good advice! Another marvellous photo Bobbie!
ReplyDeleteLest they become lunch...! What a photo. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'd say that shark is thinking "ooooh, what a tasty looking tushy".
ReplyDeleteSooooo...dangerous!
ReplyDeleteYikes, that's not what you want to see over your shoulder sneaking up behind you!
ReplyDeleteWow that's a great shot and what a beautiful place deep under the water.
ReplyDeleteEeep! One of the many reasons I'm content to be a beach-comber and a wader. You'll NEVER get me to dive!

Why do I have the theme from "Jaws" running through my head all of a sudden?
ReplyDeleteGreat shot. The sharks do look interest, as long as they keep a respectful distance.
ReplyDelete(We had the theme from Jaws in mind as well ;) )
That's about as close as I'd ever care to get to a shark. Great image.
ReplyDelete"Ever get the feeling you're being watched??" :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting TeaReads.
Yeah...I think that's why I'll never do any real diving. I can live vicariously through other divers:)
ReplyDeletePriceless moment though...glad you captured it.
Nice shot! Happy WW and thanks for stopping by! :D
ReplyDeleteOh my! I'm not a fan of sneaky sharks but it did make for a great photo.
ReplyDeleteWOW that would have scared me. Great shot

ReplyDeleteThis would have scared the beejeezus out of me...I'll leave the scuba to you! :-) Thanks for stopping by today...
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a little scary. Made for a wonderful shot, though. :D
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful photo!! I love all the shades of blue....and the caption!!
ReplyDeleteI missed WW today. {sad}

ReplyDeleteGreat photo! It's beautiful.

Just got back from Canada - thanks for the comment on `The Green House Effect'.
ReplyDeleteThis is a priceless photo - and what a great title!
Aha, sneaky sharks are exactly the reason I won't be trying scuba diving soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks to all our Wordless Wednesday friends for stopping by.

Hey, you can't just leave me hanging like that with no story to say what happened. LOL! I take it you didn't have any trouble out of it.
