I'm a new diver and I would really like to get some good pictures of sharks. I'm also a bit of a chicken :) I don't want to get up close and personal with anything that will see me as lunch, but I would like to see something awesome. I will be shooting with a D-SLR in an underwater housing. I don't think I will have to dive too deep to see these awesome creatures. I've heard of some people using an underwater cage to take pictures of sharks, but I'm not so sure about that option.
Has anyone gotten any great shark pics? And where did you get them?

Try the shark dives at Stuart Cove's/Bahamas....mainly gray reef sharks, but you can get very close.
