Eight days on Fuvahmulah, the lone island atoll near the equator famous for one thing: tiger sharks.

Most dives started at Tiger Harbour, where tiger sharks patrol the shallows over a crowd of reef fish, close enough to count the teeth and spot the remoras riding underneath. Three dives a day on air, with the deepest mornings past 40 m out on the wall, and plenty of time hanging in the blue watching them come and go.

Shot on the Canon G9 X Mark II in its Fantasea housing, with the INON S200 strobe, the Weefine Smart Focus 5000 and the INON UWL-H100 wide-angle wet lens.
