message Hi David,
This is what dreams are made off grin
To me this image is one of the rare images where you just wish you were there at that special moment.
You've got my vote for a hotshot laugh
Cheers

message Thanks Christian. It was truly a special day. We had baitball after baitball, but this was the only thresher in the water. When I dove down I was really close on the first pass but I was so excited I forgot I had a camera in my hand. After the interaction we saw multiple threshers breaching. Wow, what a memory.
