With our first few expedition trips away to Isla Guadalupe this season divers are writing back to update us on their experiences. Chuck lives in Arizona and when not diving with sharks he's usually found whitewater rafting.
Chuck and his cousin Georgene are now "Official Shark Divers" having spent the last three days in the company of our wonderful white sharks at Isla Guadalupe and witnessing first hand white sharks jumping clear out of the water right next to our boat.
We call it a shark breach, Chuck calls it amazing:
This is from an Arizona desert rat who never ventured deeper than the shallow end of the swimming pool.
First day on Guadalupe the sharks circled the boat and you could hear the "Jaws" music in the background, but none came to the cages.
Next day started with a complete jump out of the water by a 15 foot plus sweetie name "Chugie" (sic) and the fun began."Chugie" gave a second jump that day... sharks o'pleanty all day. No more fins, just beautiful Great Whites coming to the cages for the next two days. Mark, the chef, put 4 pounds on me. The entire crew was fantastic and the trip will be a "bucket list" topper.
Thanks so much "Shark Diver" for a memorable and wonderful trip...CHUCK SHUMWAY
