The shear profusion of sharks at Cocos Island has always made it a World Class dive site. Stan has visited Cocos Island every year for so many years that he has lost count. This last time, fall of year ’12, a whale shark took up residence and proved very friendly to photographers. At dusk, a feeding frenzy of white tip reef sharks were in hair-raising proximity to the camera positioned in the very middle of the madness. In addition, large schools of jacks and curious hammerheads, also hallmarks of the Cocos scene, were present.
