Shark Dive with Mike Coots
"The bottom line of what sharks need right now is protection. I was nearly killed by a shark, yet I love sharks. We need to protect them. Sharks need a good publicist, and maybe in some way, I am their publicist."
Join Kaua'i shark photographer Mike Coots as he sets out at sunrise searching for his favorite subject. Follow along and experience a glimpse into the process of what it means to be a shark portrait photographer.
With each photo, Mike Coots strives to tell a unique story, revealing the authentic and unseen sides of sharks that go beyond Hollywood and Shark Week portrayals.
