Not just Shark
Pictures: Elasmodiver contains photos of sharks, skates, rays, and
chimaera's from around the world. It began as a simple web based
field guide to help divers find the best places to encounter
different species of sharks and rays but it has slowly evolved into
a much larger project containing information on all aspects of shark
diving and photography. There are now more than a thousand shark
pictures and sections on shark evolution, biology, and
conservation. There is a large library of reviewed shark books, a
constantly outdated shark taxonomy page, a monster list of shark
links, and deeper in the site there are numerous articles and
stories about shark encounters. Elasmodiver is now so difficult to
check for updates, that new information and pictures are listed on
an Elasmodiver Updates Page that can be accessed here:
If you're looking
for a broader range of marine life pictures the following links
represent a new area of elasmodiver.com that contains pictures of
other marine organisms and of marine habitats. This expansion of
Elasmodiver is in its first stages but will eventually include pages
on all types of marine mammals, bony fishes and marine invertebrates
as well as coastal habitats, reefscapes and other imagess relating
to the ocean. Please return regularly to enjoy the progress.
A selection of pictures from Arinaga, Gran Canaria,
Canary Islands, Spain.
Arinaga is a small artsy town on the south coast of
Gran Canaria. It is a popular summer retreat for holiday makers escaping the
bustle of the capital; Las Palmas. Arinaga is the staging ground for divers
heading for El Cabron Marine Park. El Cabron (The Goat) is named for its
stubborn, inhospitable terrain. The park is home to a large population of
Common Angel Sharks which have
been seriously depleted in much of their range.
