Buddies

Seems like Roger and the Wolf are getting along - notice all the black tips in the background. For more info on the dive and picture go to Roger's blog.

Roger does it again

Another spectacular shot by Roger Horrocks. Tiger, Wolf, and another tiger in background.

Lemon and hogs

I went diving yesterday in Key Largo - armed with pole spear and camera, a bit challenging having all the gear dangling from the weight belt. I put together a brief video, think it captures everything. I did notice that the fish had completely different reactions to me when I would film opposed to hunt - sixth sense. Plus, I can imagine my muscles being tense from pulling back on the spear.



The lemon shark was on a hook that was meant for a barracuda - it was released and swam away.

In reference to a prior posting regarding the "taste's like bacon - hog fish" - I need to give credit where it's do: a friend of mine, Craig, mentioned it when I told him about the hog.

Real men...pansy

Congratulations to the team of the Sea Ya Later II and captain Lindsey Stanley for killing a 12ft 1,000lbs mako shark. Takes real men, apparently 8 to handle the shark. How about tag-and-release? Would love to see these guys in the water with a mako...real men and a woman.

Roger, Wolf, and Tigers

I just received an email from my dad and two photos taken by Roger Horrocks. The two seem to be getting along, not just amongst themselves, but with the Tigers as well. Read about their last two days on Roger's blog.

Roger - excellent photos, suggestion: you and Wolf should publish a book, 1 page color the other B/W, all proceeds will go towards the conservation of sharks (well, maybe not all proceeds ;) ). Young blood and new blood with the same passion and great photography, would also make for exceptional story.

I will have to join next time to film the adventure.

Both photographs were taken by Roger.

An email from the Wolf

We were starting to worry a bit about the old Wolf - as we had not received any communication from him in over three days - considering he is diving with Tigers - it was a bit concerning. Here is some of the email he wrote me:

"The water is not clear - in fact the visibility is LOUSY, about 6-7 m with tigers between 3 and 4 m!!! :-) This is NOT like tiger beach, but the tigers are the same!! I LOVE THEM!!!

Felix: i will write a summary for the blog once i am back, impossible from here. Hope to contact you soon again. NEVER worry about the old man!! He crazy, boy, but he no dumb!!!!!" (From the Bahamas days...)

Sea Lion "Attacks" Surfer

What's next? - seal lions will be finned? I really doubt that the sea lion attacked the surfer - but what do I know, if CNN says it's a attack, it must be an attack...
