About the Cover
HCMA member, Dr. Andy Malbin, shot this issue’s cover photo from inside a cage off Guadalupe Island, Mexico. The great white preserve is regulated by the Mexican National Park Service. It was shot with a Nikon D500 camera in Aquatica housing in natural light with a Tokina 10-17mm fisheye lens, at f9, 1/125 sec. The photo was cropped to make objects appear closer than they were in real life. Read Dr. Malbin’s article about diving with sharks, in this issue.
