Woman Dances With Sharks – Beautiful!

There’s no question the ocean is beautiful, magical and mysterious and the best way to witness all of it is with the help of a guide. Whether you’re sailing its currents off the coast of Australia with the likes of Frank Hobson, whale watching near Vancouver Island with Captain Ron King or kayaking, stand up paddleboarding and surfing in Hawaii with Michael Gulden, a guided tour will help you discover areas you never knew existed and learn the secrets of the sea.

Of course, another way to explore the ocean is to get under the waves with a scuba guide. Take Andy Murch, for instance, who will be happy to take you on a guided tour of the lifeforms on the sea floor including the beautiful, yet maligned, Selachimorpha – aka shark.  Sharks are one of the most misunderstood species in the ocean and there are conservationists out there who have made it their mission to portray these majestic creatures in a gentler light than what we typically see on “Shark Week.” Take Hannah Fraser for instance. She’s an underwater model and dedicated conservationist who recently teamed up with Emmy Award winning cinematographer  Shawn Heinrichs to create the video below that presents tiger sharks in a way we’ve never seen before. It was filmed off the coast of Bermuda and you can’t help but agree that this is one of the most artistic portrayals of sharks ever.
