The diver fearlessly swims with grey reef sharks, blacktip reef sharks and whitetip reef sharks off the coast of Yap in the western Pacific Ocean. American ocean photojournalist Tim Rock captured the breath-taking photographs on a diving trip with professional dive tour instructor and model Yoko Higashide. The 64-year-old photographer, of Minneapolis, Minnesota, said: “Vertigo Reef, along the north-western shores of the island of Yap in Micronesia, is a perfect venue to watch reef sharks.
