In what might be the first experience of its kind, at least in modern history three divers entered the water with great white sharks off the Florida Coast.

According to a report from ABC Action News March 24, 2024, Daniel DeLaTorre, Eric Tobin, and Elizabeth Jeffrey of SCUBA Quest dive shop in Sarasota came across great whites feasting on a whale carcass off the coast of Venice.

You can watch their video on their YouTube channel here.

They entered the water with several great whites present without a cage.

What do you think about the return of great whites in the Gulf of Mexico?

What do you think about free-diving with white sharks?

Shark Photos

I’m working on some future content and looking for historic photos of great white sharks, makos and porbeagles that were caught in the Gulf of Mexico.

Looking back at a history of these sharks in the Gulf is important and I am trying to catalog as much of this as possible. It really helps in awareness raising and can help teach valuable lessons in how we manage sharks now versus 50 years ago.

I would also like photos of taxidermy, jaws or teeth from the above species that you might have in family archives or an old collection.

    I am somewhat excited to hear they are in the gulf. Swimming with them is a big no for me.

      I did a cage dive but I would not free dive with them.
