Cal Ripfin (Shredder)

The coolest great white shark ever to swim the seas. Want to track my movements? Learn to swim fast. I don't have a tracking tag. 11-yr hide & seek champ.

Newly processed version of an old photo of the lovely Lucy https://t.co/7jSMOI6jcw 2010. I've been fortunate enough to share the water numerous times over the years between 2008-2019.

I hope she's still making trips to Guadalupe, even though we can't be there to document her.

Got up early on Monday morning with fellow photographer Euan Rannachan to try to get some potential profile pics of me on the water with the sunrise over the Sea of Cortez as a backdrop...

A 2015 shot of The Legend, one of Guadalupe's male white sharks, as he approaches to give my camera's dome port a thorough inspection.

While a lot of white sharks will keep their distance from divers, some individuals like The Legend are more curious and will come in close.

That's gonna be a hard pass from me...

[George Probst 🦈 @GeorgeProbst]

So, this happened. We were fortunate to share the water with at least 8 orcas.

You might notice them passing something to each other toward the end. That was a dolphin...or what was left of it.

@GeorgeProbst That's one good looking shark!

Previously unpublished photo from 2010 of Guadalupe's legendary male white shark, Cal Ripfin (aka Shredder).

He was probably one of the most photographed white sharks on the planet between 2000-2011.

Of course #ValentinesDay wouldn’t be complete without sharing spotter pilot Wayne Davis’ JAWSome photo of a white shark making a ♥️ from a few years ago.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Previously unreleased 2016 of Scarboard, one of Guadalupe's biggest white sharks.

I dreamt about Scarboard last Friday and texted a Guadalupe diving friend about it the next day. She too had a Scarboard dream the same night!

Makes sense, Scarboard is pretty dreamy.

A little ray of sunshine can change the whole day.

Hi! It’s Alex! The bad weather is setting in. Willow doesn’t like to fly in the strong wind and she isn’t a fan of rain either. 💪🏻🦿🦉 #AlexandersJourney #Owl #OwlWhisperer #WillowTheOwl

Luca up top, mackerel scad below.

Guadalupe white shark Luca Arnone swims above numerous mackerel scad, while sporting large superficial wound between his left eye and gills.

Throwback to 2010 of Guadalupe white shark "The Russian," as he makes a close pass in front of the camera.

One of my favorite aspects of up close encounters like this one is being able to see the shark's iris and watching the eye rotate to maintain eye contact as it passes by.

-Phantoms- These close relatives of the #greatwhiteshark and the #makoshark are often misidentified as them.

Hunting the meadows during the last hour of golden sunlight this Barn Owl hovers as it hears a vole beneath. #barnowl #NaturePhotography #NATUREONE #rspb

12 years ago today this 17' white shark was accidentally caught off the coast of Cape Cod. Although most white sharks are headed south this time of year there are always some stragglers. So🏄‍♂️ don't let your guard down, stay vigilant.

If you do see a shark please report it.

A little bit of sunshine for your Monday with Guadalupe white shark "The Legend" catching some rays just below the surface.

This previously unreleased image was shot back in 2016.
