Camera Meets a Shark
A camera meeting a shark sounds like the start of a joke—or the beginning of a story. That’s exactly what this blog is about: tales of adventure, conservation, and discovery aimed at building an emotional connection between people and marine life.
Here, I share field stories, encounters, short reflections, and the incredible people and organizations shaping the ocean’s future. Whether it’s a shark encounter, a dive with rays, or a moment of insight from the field, every post offers a glimpse into the world beneath the surface—and the journey of those working to protect it.
Lemon and Bull Shark Galore in Jupiter
After two weeks with the bull sharks in Playa del Carmen, we headed north to Jupiter, Florida — a place where lemon sharks gather each winter and the bull sharks hold their own on the deeper side of the ledge. What followed was a mix of calm encounters, unexpected intensity, and one of the most unforgettable shark dives we’ve had. Lemon and bull shark galore in Jupiter’s blue.
A Season with the Bull Sharks of Playa del Carmen
Just offshore from Playa del Carmen lies Shark Point, a place where female bull sharks return each season. In November we joined them again — a dive filled with close passes, familiar faces, and the calm power only bull sharks carry. Protected mangroves, community research, and years of conservation work shape this migration — a reminder of why these waters matter. A short visit, but one that deepened our connection to these incredible sharks.
