By: Torben Lonne
To all the shark lovers around the world, here is our tribute to the sharks. It’s our way of celebrating this incredible animal in all its glory.
We’ve scoured the whole internet to find the best shark pictures for you.
Great White Shark
Black and White Tiger Shark
“Emma” is the locally famous tiger shark ruling the waters off Tiger Beach, Bahamas. In this picture, she’s magnificently showing off her pregnant belly.
The picture was taken by Albert Kok, and he has loads of other great sharks pictures you can see right here.
Baskin Shark
This is a beautiful example of the beauty of sharks. This Baskin Shark was captured by underwater photographer Charles Hood just off of Cornwall, England. You can find more pictures of his and it might be worth considering a trip to Cornwall.
Whale Shark From above
This black and white picture of a free diver meeting a whale shark has something magical about it.
It was taken by Christian Schlamann from Blickfein. You can see more pictures from him here as well.

Matt Heat beautifully captures this tiger sharks as it fully opens its mouth. Here you really get a chance to see what the inside of a Tiger shark.
Shark Bundle
Here you’re seeing a group of Caribbean Reef Sharks circling their next meal. And no it’s not the divers, but the shark food they have in the box in the middle. This is a picture-perfect example of Shark feeding. The pros and cons of shark feeding are widely debated. Picture by Manda Nicholls.

A Pointy Blue Shark
You’ll find this beautiful shark in deeper sub-tropical waters that never get very warm. And though this one looks very sweet it’s one of those you better stay a bit clear of, they are known to get a bit aggressive.

Whale Shark Feeding
This is the perfect image of Humans and Nature working side by side. This Whale shark is eating the fish that the fishermen caught. It has become a very popular attraction for divers in Cenderawasih Bay, West Papua Province, Indonesia.

Sunlight and Sharks
A small group of grey reef and blacktip reef sharks swimming near the surface. This picture was taken by Brad in Yap, Micronesia.
White shark from inside a cage
It’s very common to dive down in a cage to see the great white shark, but here the shark is getting jealous and trying to get in.

Awesome! 😀
Hi Martin,
Thanks. The whale shark is an amazing animal. I can only agree with you, and there’s something iconic of it swimming away in the picture.
Hi Albert, Thanks. I agree and it’s already changed to belly 🙂 Thanks for a really great picture!
I meant lovely..!
Hi Torben; lovey pictures! I think Emma’s ‘pregnant belly’ is better than ‘pregnant stomach’.. (-: Cheers
This is absolutely awesome pictures! I really love the last whaleshark swimming away. There is something simply beautiful about them, so big and gentle. I have still to see my first underwater. It is the biggest diving dream for me.
Thanks to all the great photographers.
