Diver's Notes

Beautiful and scary. We started by setting the "chum" in water - very high current, and scattered blood in the ocean ... to attract the sharks. Half an hour later they shown up and we slide in silently to watch them. Big, beautiful, powerful and flexible at the same time. good thing they didn't see us as food but just as weird stuff in the water.
The weather was bad so I when up to f5.6 but that was stupid, I should have kept an f11 and increased the ISO.
The 18-50 was a good option but I could have zoomed in more.
