Tiger Beach by Pedro Vieyra

Pedro's Portfolio
These shots were all taken this year on a liveaboard shark diving trip in the Northern Bahamas, one of few locations in the world where it is possible to see the Great Hammmerhead and Tiger sharks up close. We also had close encounters with dozens of Lemon sharks, Bull sharks, Nurse sharks and Caribbean reef sharks. My main aim was to get close-ups of the Tigers which I missed last year due to weather. It was a thrilling, fun trip.
Tiger shark Tiger beach is a shallow sandy site, providing excellent natural light and pleasing background of rippled silver sand. This shows the beautiful markings and chunky streamlined build of the Tiger shark. Nikon D70, Sea &Sea housing, Nikkor 17-35 at 35mm, 1/125 at f19.
Great Hammerhead South Mokarran point between Grand Bahama and Bimini is the edge of a drop off where the NW passage meets the Gulf Stream. We had seven Great Hammerheads and four large Tigers around the boat. The hammerheads came charging in to the bait line, their massive dorsal fins cutting the surface. Nikon D70, Sea &Sea housing, Nikkor 17-35 at 17mm, 1/125 at f16.
Juvenile Tiger This juvenile Tiger was snapping up some pieces of bait, giving me the chance to light up those pearly teeth!
Nikon D70, Sea &Sea housing, Nikkor 12-24 at 14mm, 1/125 at f9.5.
Tiger shark Last dive at Tiger Beach was Tiger mayhem - five large adults and two young ones swimming all around. You needed eyes in the back of your head!
Nikon D70, Sea &Sea housing, Nikkor 10.5 at 16mm, 1/90 at f6.7.
Great Hammerhead Mokarran turning. These superbly adapted muscular animals were 4 metres plus, and moved with impressive speed. The sword-like dorsal fin is second only to the Orca in height. Nikon D70, Sea &Sea housing, Nikkor 17-35 at 35mm, 1/125 at f19.
Lemon shark

Lemon sharks were cruising around by the dozen very close to the sand, and seeming to enjoy being patted and stroked.
