GETTING COZY AND NOSY: Mike became a professional diver while working in the US Air Force as a young man. PANAMA CITY, PANAMA: MEET THE brave SEVENTY-EIGHT-YEAR-OLD pensioner who has been diving with DEADLY TIGER SHARKS for over SIXTY YEARS. Breath-taking shots show American underwater cinematographer, Mike Bolton (78) from Panama City, Panama, coolly hi-fiving the nose of a fearsome tiger shark. Another shows Mike - just inches from dangerous teeth ? calmly stroking under a shark?s chin. And an above water shot shows all-smiles with Mike?s supportive wife Becky (67), who helps with his dives. Mike has been diving since he was 17 and has been a professional ocean photographer since the days of Kodak film. Mike?s recent ?jaw-some? portfolio was taken on a Sony a7rll around the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. The ex-competitive spear fisher has dived for buried 17th century treasure, but his true passion is to learn more, stay humble and pass on to others his experiences and knowledge about sharks and ocean conservation.
