Most of these blue shark photographs were taking freediving (breathhold diving) with a few friends in the open ocean near San Diego or just below the border in Mexico.  In days gone by, a small bucket of chum would bring in 5-20 blue sharks, sometimes more, and they were big beautiful sharks, sleek and long and graceful.  Longliners and the fishing industry has decimated the blue shark (<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?sp=Prionace_glauca\">Prionace glauca<\/a><\/em>) population in the eastern Pacific (along with many other shark species) and today a bucket of chum might attract a few sharks which will typically be small.  Some of the best days of my life have been spent swimming around a small boat under the hot California sun, in clean blue offshore water, trying to keep track of the sharks swimming around and frame up a few good images.  Life is good!  Thanks for looking.
