So, there I was, in Cuba on the first official authorized visit for U.S. Citizens approved by the State Department. I was with the Aggressor Fleet on their first "Oceans For Youth" event. We had spend a couple of days in Havana on a cultural exchange visit and then our group headed off to the famous, yet rarely visited, "Garden of the Queens" Cuban National Park for some world-class Scuba diving. This was Castro's private dive paradise and was off limits to everyone for decades. The week had been amazing and the diving was all we had heard it would be. But our Cuban guides had something special lined up for us. Several of our group loaded up in a small, high speed, "Tinny", an aluminum skiff with an oversized outboard motor and off we went at breakneck speed into the mangrove flats. Once in shallow water, less than three feet deep, we encountered an amazing and intimidating creature, the Cuban Crocodile. Yes, we got in the water with snorkel gear. Yes, we got much closer to the Crocs then we should have, but the images were worth the risk. At least it feels that way now. At the moment it did, indeed, feel like a questionable thing to do, but the shot is everything, right? I'll share more stories soon on how we "Got The Shot".
Tim and Barb Blanton are working on a series titled "How We Got The Shot" where we share more details about the camera gear we used, camera settings, the locations and conditions and more behind the scenes stories. Stay tuned.
