* * * * * * * * * Last year I had the pleasure of diving in Cozumel with Tony and Cody Gartner. Recently Tony and his son Cody were on a shark feeding dive in St. Maarten and sent this great shark photo. Here's their story:
"This photo was taken on Friday Afternoon January 6th 2012 off St Maarten during the Ocean Explorers famous "Shark Dive."
Depth about 55 feet, visibility about 50 feet.
In the photo is our Dive Master Jeferson.
The photo was taken by Cody Gartner with a very simple SeaLife DC1400 Point-and-Shoot Camera - No Strobe."
Thanks for sharing, Tony!
