The Tuamoto’s: Dave Abbott picks up Part II of his recent Tahiti adventure

I descended through clear water to the white sand below a fast-moving Galapagos shark flashed across my field of vision, followed by a second and then a third.

As soon as I had dropped a few metres on my way down, I hit ‘record’ to begin filming the descent down the vertical western wall of the Sugarloaf.

If there is one creature that can get the attention of any diver, it is a great white shark - conjuring visions of massive teeth and cold black teeth.

On the 1st of December, the summer shark diving season in Stewart Island opened. With 13 years experience, here's why I think it's an unforgettable adventure.

As an underwater cameraman being ‘invisible’ or more accurately ‘undetectable’ would be awesome. Truely the holy grail of any wildlife cameraman!
