The rare and majestic thresher shark
This place is not allowed to use any light or glowing materials so had to take the photo without any strobe but only a sun light. Also it is truly difficult to capture a nice moment to take a shoot since its under 30meters deep where air consumption is 4times faster than a surface. With patient waiting and using my identical techniques to take attention of underwater animals, this thresher approached to me truly close enough to take a good shot.
Unfortunately, this specie is in danger due to excessive fishing. We all need to spread the word to keep them alive in this ocean.

entry description
I have encountered this beautiful shark underwater at Monal Shoal Point. Malapscua island. This is the only place in the world you can find thresher sharks with high possibility so far.This place is not allowed to use any light or glowing materials so had to take the photo without any strobe but only a sun light. Also it is truly difficult to capture a nice moment to take a shoot since its under 30meters deep where air consumption is 4times faster than a surface. With patient waiting and using my identical techniques to take attention of underwater animals, this thresher approached to me truly close enough to take a good shot.
Unfortunately, this specie is in danger due to excessive fishing. We all need to spread the word to keep them alive in this ocean.
