Wetpixel is running two charters to the Bahamas this coming July, 2007! The first trip (July 10-21, 2007) is a trip in search of oceanic white-tip sharks; we were successful in 2006, and there’s no reason to think that we won’t be this year. We’ll also be looking for tiger sharks, reef sharks, dolphins, and more.

The second (July 23-31, 2007) is a “classic” tigers and dolphins trip, which combines a traditional shark expedition with dolphin experiences and beautiful summer weather.

With the legendary Jim Abernethy as our guide, we’ll be aboard the M/V Shear Water, a small liveaboard dive vessel that leaves out of West Palm Beach, Florida.

Spots are extremely limited, so book now!

*UPDATE* JAN 29, 2007: Both trips have booked full. Get on the waiting list by calling JASA!

You should see the bruises where she elbowed me out of the way for a goby (remember, I call her goby one kenobi). So im sure if Eric thinks he can be in the way of her first tigershark, I think he'd better bring body armor

On one of the first Wetpixel trips, no one followed me in the water the first time a tiger shark arrived.

I sat under the boat thinking, "wtf is wrong with these guys?" -- and then swam up under the swim step and grabbed James' ankle. By the end of the trip, everyone was at home in the water with sharks.

I'll be on the second charter, and can't wait! Sorry I'll miss you again, Alex - you seem to be becoming a quite the shark junkie!

Sounds like I need to stay out of the way of this Julie character, though...

I've been on ShearWater twice -- once last year with Eric, Alex and the Wetpixel group, and once when David Haas chartered the boat. Both Eric and David organize great trips, and ShearWater offers diving like no other boat on earth! I'm really looking forward to swimming with dolphins in the wild on this trip!

Anyone interested in photos from my two other ShearWater trips can see them HERE.

Thanks for the ID help - I later established that it was some sort of amberjack - I just never updated the site (I'll try to remember next time I'm working on the site!).

As for you hating all of us, I can't do much about that. I think the best cure for that kind of pent-up hostility is...to come and JOIN us on one of these trips!
