About this ebook
The light was too dim to get a good shot without using the flash. He turned on his strobe. The high pitched whine drove the sharks into a frenzy. They began to ram the divers with their snouts. It was the closest the divers had ever come to being shark bait. Follow photographer Jeff Rotmans diving team into the shark-infested waters of Cocos Island to discover sharks' secrets, and perhaps to save their lives.
