Spring 2006, I’m sitting behind my desk as I’m surfing the internet. A review about a shark expedition in the Bahamas is drawing my attention. The pictures that accompany the article are very impressive. I have always dreamt about photographing sharks and that is what this trip is about! My enthusiasm is taking control over me and ten minutes later I have booked the trip at the internetsite of Jim Abernethy’s Scuba Adventures (www.scuba-adventures.com). That night I lie awake….what have I done? What will my impulsive act bring?

As far as I remember myself, this island always allured me. By now, when I’ve made already several trips to this fabulous place, I’m quite certain, that from the diver’s point of view it should be the «must» of touring itineraries.

Destination № 1 – Cape Giant

Waking up to our last day of diving in Tofo Beach and we almost have to pinch ourselves. It is another beautiful sunrise over the Indian Ocean, with the sound of the waves gently breaking on the beach just in front of our chalet, and still one more day of diving to go. Yes, we had heard the stories, had seen the photos and watched the DVDs, but until we were here it was hard for us to believe it could be true. But here we were - one week of diving behind us and already we had had close encounters with more than seventy Manta Rays and twelve Whale Sharks!
