Great White Photos from the Guardian

This is a photo from the Guardian’s website. It is the first of a sequence of 5 of a great white shark investigating three divers in a cage in Mexico. Unfortunately they seem more interested in emphasising that one of the divers is “fending” off the shark, and punching it on the nose, when his hand doesn’t look as though it’s anywhere near its nose. Having said that his hand is definitely touching the shark. The second diver looks as though he would have got some close-up shots too. Meanwhile their mate is bravely hiding behind them both, at back of the cage – just where I would have been!

Anyway it’s quite a good sequence of photos in lovely clear blue water. You can see them on the Guardian’s website.
