Photos from the Bluewater Photo Shark Trips

Last month, Bluewater Photo ran several trips to snorkel with sharks in open water off Southern California. This was prime season for spotting blue sharks, however with warmer water temps this year (and an El Nino on the horizon) the makos made their presence known.  

We ran a total of four trips and saw many, many sharks thanks to the great crew of the infamous Shark Boat. Check out the photos and make sure to join us next year for more great shark adventures.
