"Snooty"

The Story: Snooty is a large female lemon shark inhabiting the wrecks in front of Jupiter FL. Her smile and her ease around divers have made her a local celebrity. She always one of the first sharks to come on greet you when diving the Bonaire and she stays close by until the end of the dive. On this particular dive, I was focused on trying to capture her "smile", enjoying her willingness to play along.
