Meet Seb, he is the French diveguide that I used to work with back in French Polynesia 10 years ago or so. Seb lived on the island of Rangiroa and joined the Tahiti Aggressor when I worked on that boat from 2002 to 2004. Seb was a special kind of person, he loved sharks and loved feeding them even more! No mesh glove, no special equipment, no fear! It was always a great adventure diving with Seb as you could always find a stray tuna head in his BCD, the photo opportunities for shark shots was always incredible. On this particular dive Seb was feeding sharks at the bottom and I positioned myself right beside him in order to get some great photos. This particular grey reef shark came in for a quick pass to see what was in store and I was able to take the shot as it shot between Seb and I.
