This female Great White Shark has some deep injuries (gills) and scars (nose). Please have a look at large image.
I saw the seven meter long predator several times on this trip. So, maybe you like the other shot of this animal in my portfolio? Have a look!

Great shot Norbert but brings to mind the question “What tries to take a bite out of a 7 metre white pointer?”
Thanks Garth.
Answer: A male Great White Shark! They are much smaller. But when sharks mate, the male bites the female in the pectoral fin and hold it to get into the “right position”. I saw it several times with Whitetips. But this heavy injuries are not common.

No, it was a smaller male shark!

7 meters? And how many meters are you, Norbert? Those shafts of light on the right are interesting. But I still think you’re crazy.
Isn’t everybody a little crazy – in its own way?
