Headshot of photographer Alan C. Egans. JUPITER FLORIDA, TIGER BEACH BAHAMAS: Diver feeding fish to hammerhead. HOLDING a sixteen foot-long tiger shark in his hands one brave British diver can be seen placing the wild predator into a dream-like trance ninety-feet underwater. With only a few inches between them, the diver strokes and soothes the shark in a procedure called “tonic immobility”, often used to calm sharks in order to remove hooks from their mouths or throat. Other pictures highlight the razor sharp teeth inside of both tiger and lemon sharks’ mouths while the diver hand feeds it
Headshot of photographer Alan C. Egans. JUPITER FLORIDA, TIGER BEACH BAHAMAS: Diver feeding fish to hammerhead. HOLDING a sixteen foot-long tiger shark in his hands one brave British diver can be seen placing the wild predator into a dream-like trance ninety-feet underwater. With only a few inches between them, the diver strokes and soothes the shark in a procedure called “tonic immobility”, often used to calm sharks in order to remove hooks from their mouths or throat. Other pictures highlight the razor sharp teeth inside of both tiger and lemon sharks’ mouths while the diver hand feeds it some fishy treats. They can also be seen playing with, petting and taking selfies with this array of incredible sea-beasts. Service and warranty manager Alan C Egan (59) originally from Timperley, UK and now a resident of Florida was able to snap these impressive shots at Tiger Beach in the Bahamas.
