..i’m pretty much threatened by any fish bigger than a foot swimming beside me, and as tempted as i was to take a dip, with no one in sight, i thought it prudent to stay clear of the water.. 😀 who knows, a shark might have been lurking down there too.. i think i’ve been watching too much shark week..
Most people don’t know it, but sharks are extremely common in Bermuda’s waters. The good news is that sharks on the whole, and especially the ones found around Bermuda, are extremely harmless creatures which rarely come close to the shore. More often than not, sharks will try and avoid direct contact with humans.
The most abundant types found around Bermuda are the Galapagos and dusky sharks, both noted for being particularly passive. The last reported shark attack in Bermuda was a minor incident over 30 years ago. (…)

Better safe and warm, than cold and sorry I would say. 🙂
Looks like a nice size fish, but I don’t think it is a shark (no expert though) Nice photo, really like the rock formation in the upper half of the pic, but it still is the clear water that amazes me, so clear and such a great color too.
Beautiful shot! Crystal clear water and a colorful fish…! I wish the sky had some texture.
Buen disparo, que belleza de lugar, ese agua tan cristalina me llena de ganas de trsladarme de immediato, saludos!!!
Well… you’re pretty lucky there that the sharks wont harm people, hehe… very nice shot! =D
WoW!!!
great moment on right place at right time!
nice work.
Better safe than sorry. Certainly a colorful fish!
Cool shot…those waters are beautifully clear. In the “more often than not” portion of the comment, there is still a chance for the exception and it’s the “not” in the phrase you have to think about. I still would have gone in as well.
Bonjour,
Nice capture..Beautiful water…Bravo!
I like how you share the rugged rocks with us and comment, with picture, that describes the passive sharks. Nice post.
Fantastic image. Stunning frame and colours. Geat work.
Nice colors and framing.
The colour of the water is amazing

scared cat! scared cat! scared cat!
lol! damn right! 😀
well you won’t be surprised to hear me say i love this flat flat sky. but the fish and the water are also amazing. like jewels.
Wonderful mix of colors in this shot.
Cool that you could catch a shot of the fish there Rian. The fish is an amazing color. I bet Burmuda has tons of beautiful sea life. 🙂
Can’t get over the clarity of the water, a spectacular capture. Would love to go there one day. Enjoy Rian!
thanks! 🙂 well, same here.. i’d definitely want to go back there someday too..
Amazing shot of the water. The one rock looks like a fish.
The clarity and color of the water and the rock formations make for a great shot. Too bad though, the water looks pretty warm. Maybe you could have ridden it for a while! I believe it’s best to dangle my wife or son in front of danger… just in case.
wow, what an enchanted shot my friend… i expect a mermaid, not a shark! well done you
The water looks phosphorescent or radioactive or something unnatural yet quite pretty – amazing colors, even the fish seems an odd color – better to stay clear :}
Love the green toward the back matching the fish… and I love how the rear rocks bounce you back into the foreground.
Love the perspective, beautiful shot!
Big, beautiful fish…wonderful color-love the greens and the tones in this image. Nice!
Wow the water is so clear! Makes me want to jump right in! cool Fishy too 🙂
May be the shark was using this fish as a bait
