https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUVRHcPFYHQ " A 10- to 12-foot great white shark was spotted on Alligator Reef off Islamorada Saturday, circling a charter snorkeling boat for about 30 to 45 minutes. The large fish, which is a rare sight in Keys waters, was swimming in about 15 feet of water around the HappyCat, a charter vessel docked at Robbie's Marina on Lower Matecumbe Key. Captain Chris Muller got into the water to shoot video of the shark as it swam by his boat around 3:45 p.m." Continued at http://www.keysnet.com/2016/04/17/50...imming-on.html The captain said the shark hung out in the deeper southern portion of the reef after visiting the snorkel boat in shallow water.   http://floridakeys.noaa.gov/ No end of fun times in and around Alligator Lighthouse over the years. I have been doing round winders out there for a coons age from various points along the Keys in the area. Well, I guess Whites coexist with kiters in Oz and more frequent digs, so why not here?  Approaching the light from the western shallows.  A look down from the top of the lighthouse.  A look down from a bit higher into all that blue water and the things it may conceal at times. Well, something to think about on the next round winder out to the light. .

I liked the guy's laugh (nervous) after someone said "go look, he's right there". It was like "right. I'm gonna get into the water with a great white"...

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.
 Fuzzy shot with some small chubs and a big baby shark. http://edition.cnn.com/videos/us/201...orida-pkg.wptv Quote:

 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." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owbFQWijMqI 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: https://vimeo.com/7713631 another was seen feeding on a dead sperm whale on the surface off Key Largo in 2014: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5TkOR3amwk .
