I liked the bit with the little fish just swimming in the sharks wake, thats exactly what I would be doing - trying to hide from the monster, none of this thrashing around in front of it or holding onto dorsal or tail fins.

The comment below the vid saying "Enormeeeeee" hits the nail on the head - I reckon that is french for "holy sh!t this guy is crazy swimming with this monsterous shark".

That's a lovely shot. Did you use a polarising filter or just get lucky with the angle of reflection?
