Emma Meets stars of Blue Water White Death and Jaws

This past week Emma spent a serious amount of time diving with three of the shark conservationists that started this whole thing when they filmed Blue Water White Death with Peter Gimbal. It was the movie that inspired me to dive as well as pursue sharks. Stan Waterman, Ron Taylor and the Beautiful Valerie Taylor! All fell in love with her on their first day. THey also all agreed that she is a perfect ambassador for her species. She followed us everywhere we went for the first four days until we left to for our great hammerhead sites. See the images below! I didn't post last week but Emma is still very popular at the night clubs. She has received new mating scars every week for the last six trips!

I guess they are all stoked that the cameras these days are so small and relatively lightweight. I also bumped into these three recently in Indonesia. They were on a trip with a buddy and were also present at his engagement party. Great people, Stan really is the consummate Gent. Thanks for posting Jim, have a great week.; ▶ Reply to This
