Northwest Dive Club

Just past the carousel boat @ ~85fsw on a low tide. Stuck around long enough for me to get a few pictures and check that she was female before disappearing into the dark. 5-6 feet long, I guess?

Wow!!! Amazing photos!
You're so lucky!!!

Crazy!!! Do you dive rebreather or OC?

And it looks like you got shots of her in the water column and not just from above swimming on the bottom?

Open. Water column. I was sitting on the bottom and the shark swam above and around me.

...and she ate a lure...
Awesome photos...you were lucky to see her.
Not many showing up in the last 3 years...

Yap, Yap, Yap, Yap....

Sigh... 3 dives, no luck. I keep seeing pictures of her on everyone else's feed. I feel like the guy in Junior High trying to ask out an amazing girl, getting no response, and then seeing pictures of her with all your friends.

Amazing experience Derek! Great pictures.

I didn't see the shark but I did get a consolation prize of a Giant Skate!! It was at least 4 feet long and 3 feeet wide. Biggest one I've ever seen. It buzzed past me as I hung out at 90 - 100 feet waiting for the SixGill.

thats a huge skate, I've never seen one that big

It checks out. 6 gills. I counted them! Congrats Derek!

Super awesome and inspiring!!!! I hope to see one myself someday. Thanks for the photos!
