I normally have all my pics in my photobucket album and don't have one in there of a shark - so I'll have to find them in the cupboard and scan and post (no digital underwater camera - only an old Sea&Sea :big_eyes:

)

As my daughter is interested in White Sharks, she found this one. :lol:

Funny story going with it, as the son of both divers took this pic and wanted to signal his parents that there was a shark behind them. The parents didn't notice the shark :big_eyes:

I don't know if this story is true, but the photo is great.
Would love to join this club as well, but as a FLOP....you know, I cannot dive :redface:

Kamadejo, great photo! :shock:

I have seen that photo as well...it was flying around inboxes a while back! As far as I know it isn't true..it was "photo-shoped". :whistle:

You needn't be a scuba diver to join this club. A photo taken of a shark from a boat will do as well! :cam:

Timepilot. :thumbs_up:

Here you go Oom, now you can take the "sole member" bit out - you did'nt specify what kind of shark you wanted :twisted:

This was taken on the Ningaloo reef in June 2007. We saw a record 19 whale sharks that day.

Welcome to the SIO Club Timepilot!! :clap:

Your whale shark is a winner for sure and seeing 19 in one day makes me :mrgreen:

!!

I have never seen a whale shark while diving and hope to maybe spot one next week! :pray:

Theuns, you probably need to move north a bit to Soddies - they pass through there at this time of year, which is where I first dived with them :thumbs_up:

It's truly an awesome sight.

All the other sharks I've dived with I've got no pics, which includes a scalloped hammerhead at Aliwal, the raggies at Aliwal of course, a raggie at Soddies, wobbegongs etc here in Perth, and a few black tips up north at Ningaloo.

I agree Timepilot, chances seeing a whale shark on the Protea Banks are slim!

But I will see many Tigers and Zambesis!! :dance:

Bring it on Scipio and JustNature! :thumbs_up:

That is true Micetta, but to work through that list is an economical challenge and it may take years!! :whistle:
