July 29th, 2010 – This evening our guests boarded the boat from as far away as Germany and France. Once settled we headed across the Gulf Stream to the Bahamas for another shark and dolphin expedition! The crossing was very calm!

July 30th, 2010 – After clearing customs we headed offshore into the Gulf Stream to release roughly 60 juvenile loggerhead sea turtles. Hopefully these turtles will have a much better chance of survival after the expert care of the Florida Atlantic University’s turtle program. The lack of rain in Florida is giving the nesting turtles great difficulty because of the very dry sand. The nests seem to be nearly impossible to dig and the hatchlings that survive are dehydrated. After releasing these beautiful creatures we headed off to our first shark site called Hammertime! At this site we enjoyed Caribbean reef sharks as well as a very curious nurse shark. In the evening we moved to Tiger Beach where we moor at the chain.

July 31st, 2010 – We start the morning off with a dozen lemon sharks as well as our super star “Emma”! This fourteen-foot tiger shark is displaying new mating scars on top of her dorsal fin. We all hope that this brutal injury was at least successful and that a year from now, baby tigers will emerge happy and healthy. We enjoy Emma all day until we finally collapse in exhaustion. It is such a privilege to be in the presence of such a beautiful and majestic creature.  The seas once again go to glassy calm so we finish the day with wild dolphin encounters. With very little energy left we also did a night dolphin encounter with roughly a dozen dolphin.

August 1st, 2010 – After a very long day, everyone slept in, but as soon as they were awake we started out with more dolphin encounters. This was very tiresome trying to keep up with them so by noon we went back to shark diving at a beautiful site called Cover Shot! This gorgeous site not only had reef sharks, a nurse shark and a short visit from Emma, but we were also delighted to see the glass minnow population back. Late in the day we moved to the sugar wreck. At this site we enjoyed all the wreck inhabitants including a nurse shark and a few reef sharks. That night we did a night dive, although most of us were to tired to get in and crashed early.

August 2nd, 2010 – This morning we started out at the Turtle Grass section of Tiger Beach and then moved to Crystal Tiger. Late in the day we moved to the Purple Place at Tiger Beach. All day we enjoyed roughly 20 lemon sharks.

August 3rd, 2010 – Our final day started out once again flat calm. After moving to Carcarius Cut we enjoyed the reef sharks, one nurse, two tigers and three spotted eagle rays. The water was gin clear and glassy calm. After a full day we proceeded across the Gulf Stream back to Florida.
