SHARK SELFIES
NOT YOUR everyday selfie, this plucky diver poses with some of the scariest predators in the ocean. The photographer bravely poses with an array of sharks, such as a great hammerhead shark, a whale shark and a bull shark. The unusual selfies were taken by Dutch underwater photographer Peter Verhoog, 59, as a fun way to raise awareness of these magnificent creatures. “Selfies have become more and more popular, and just for fun I started taking them during dives - with sharks and manta rays,” says Peter, of Monster, Holland.
