It is an interesting proposition, if even with a baby great white like this one. Babies need to eat too but it would make for some great photography.

Another white shark showed up around the shallower reaches of the wreck of the Duane off Key Largo in 140 ft. of water. The Youtube caption for the video:

"Published on Jul 29, 2013
This was my check out dive after not diving for 11 months (I guess I should point out this is normal for me. I only dive this time of year). It was the afternoon of July 27, 2013. Also first time with the GoPro HD Hero 3 Black Edition set to 1080p 30fps wide(wish I had it on 60fps). I was using a Polar Pro snap on filter, UK PRO GoPro Camera Pole 8 Inch, and a Princeton Tec Impact XL Dive Light. I should have shaved before because me fixing my my mask probably caused a lot of the shaking in the video. It was also my best dive ever. Good thing since it was my only dive this year. Sorry it's a little rushed after the beginning got everyone's blood pumping. We are thinking the Great White was about 13 to 14 feet long. After some testing using a 14 foot car from the same distances. I'd say he was 13 feet."

The shark shows up close to 3:00


I went scooter free diving on the Duane in 2009 (and again in 1993 without fins). A nice sized bull shark showed up swimming across the bottom in 2009 and shows up in the video below:

another was seen feeding on a dead sperm whale on the surface off Key Largo in 2014:
