Any divers?

Never mind - found it - it's a diver by the name of Kimberly Jeffries. This is a photo of the largest verified great white ("Deep Blue" - 2.5 tonnes) on record photographed in Hawaii waters. It was feeding on a dead whale!
I used to scuba dive in high school and University but haven't for years. My kids have done the swim with sharks (no cage) in Oahu, I've only done it in the cage. (Galapagos sharks largest was maybe 10 feet.) Sharks freak me out. My kids who surf a lot more than me just take them in stride.

my buddy is related to Stuart Cove, he owns the biggest dive shop in the Caribbean. Every once in a while i go down to Nassau and he pics me up at the airport with his flip flops and a six pack of beer and we head out into the ocean. i wish i had more time to dive. Its is awesome
I only muff dive
i dived into the wrong hole once, but the gases weren't mixed right. Almost killed me
The BMF was feeding on a dead whale, the only reason why she wasn't lunch herself. The shark definitely smelled her.
Btw Sam Tarrasco's son (Sam Losco - Trailer Park Boys) is a professional scuba diver/marine biologist.

I have notice a drastic change in coral reef and marine life in the 20 years I been diving in the Carebean sea.
Any one else notice anything similar?
I last dive in mid December in Cayo Coco.
In November, I dove in Los Cabos, and the difference was drastic.

I have been diving at Cozumel for 20 years, and the fish now are much smaller. 20 years ago, there were groupers the same size as divers.
I haven’t been diving for years. Did dive the Great Barrier Reef, Big Island of Hawaii and St. John back in the day, really enjoyed it.
Taking the kids to the big island in March, we will all be certified and do a few dives, love the water there, like Gin.

I went once on a cruise. I'm planning to do all my certifications in a couple of years as a part of my retirement planning.
It's sad to hear that this is happening. I did several dives in Cozumel back in 2007, and it was spectacular. Haven't been back, but always wanted 2.
If you haven't gone to Los Cabos I highly recommend it, will leave you amazed.
I’ve noticed a change in Hawaii (Oahu) over the past 10 years. I don’t dive there but snorkel, surf, and SUP and there is noticeably less live coral even in protected areas. Eg: we are usually in the North Shore but went down to Hanauma Bay last time and it was kind of depressing how much damage and dead spots were there vs the previous time we snorkeled there (about 5 years gap). Granted a lot is human damage, but it is a preserve - so a lot is also due to warming. On the North Shore (on breaks like Lani’s or Chuns), I think you need to go further out than before to see good patches of coral, but that could be because I’m older, so it just seems further.
I once dove in the Maldives and saw 3 giant manta rays come overhead like a formation of bomber aircrafts
That must have been a site, I hope we are able to change the trend, because it truly is a beautiful world.
I was talking to a guy from Hawaii I met in Cabo, who hated Obama, kind of strange since Obama was from Hawaii, but he also told me that there has been a drastic change also in Hawaii, and he was very impressed with diving in Cabo. Partly could be because the water temperature is colder than most tropical places.
