I see four cobes for sure in the pic. The rest are just remoras. Sick picture though.

Yes, I realize that but I'm sure there's a lot more than can be seen just in the foreground of the pic even if primalpete believes his powers of observation are not to be reckoned with.:D

Marty said he did get some cobia off that shark. There is a blow up poster size of that pic in Scuba Quest in Sarasota. It really is a nice pic! Steve

Man, my post sounded like a jerk. So I'd like to make up for it.

AWESOME PHOTO!!!

I have yet to swim with a creature 5 or 6 times longer than myself. It must be an incredible experience.

I cant shoot the shark with a freeshaft...

When I see critters like that swimming around I instantly start thinking dinner!
