@oceanramsey and “Deep Blue” the Great White in Hawaii, Something that I have been dreaming about for years. #dreamsdocometrue and it happened two days ago for me. 1st thing most people ask when they see my photos usually is “Were you scared”? My reply is “don’t fear sharks, fear for them.” Sharks have been on this planet for more 400 million years, surviving 5 mass extinction on this planet, evolutionary perfection, yet in the last 30 years humans have wiped out sharks populations by 90 to 95 percent. Sharks may not survive us. #extinctionisforever #helpsavesharks #coexist #ApexpredatorNotMonster #DeepBlue #whitesark #sharks #discoversharks photo by me using @aquatech_imagingsolutions @cressi1946 @north_sails @xcelwetsuits and powered by @guayaki #cometolife #oneocean #juansharks diving with the team at @oneoceandiving @forrest.in.focus @mermaid_kayleigh @camgrantphotography
