Wow! What a great day of freediving and filming I had at Koh Tao’s beautiful Aow Leuk (Deep Bay)! On one of my few days off for the coming months, I decided to go out with my camera for a look at what a few of the videographers in the shop had been telling me about. It seems all around the East side of the island, in the shallows near the rocks, there are baby Black Tip Reef Sharks feeding.


After awhile they came right in...

It is so cool to see these cute little guys. They’re very small- about 30cm’s or so- and very timid. It’s almost impossible to get close to them on scuba equipment as the bubbles seem to scare them away. But while freediving, they seem to be very curious and posed for some fantastic shots. I sure hope they make it to adults so I get a chance to film them again with our PADI Open Water course students.


Perfectly formed, but only about 35cm...

We really enjoyed the much-needed day off. Now, back to creating the new BSAC Professional Underwater Video Course and welcoming our new underwater video intern, Scott!
