Tiger Splitting Jacks

Upon entry to the water I was greeted with the adrenaline rush of a female Tiger Shark circling me! On the previous dive I had observed schooling Jacks beneath the boat and a composition idea had formed in my mind. So as I descended for this dive I turned to the fish and my plan came together!
The Tiger continued to circle and then cut through the fish, repelling them with hypnotic rhythm, creating a wonderful shape around the shark. This image was taken at “Tiger Beach” in the Bahamas; a special place for seeing these majestic apex predators up close.
