D/V Tenacious has found herself about as far from home as possible, all the way Down Under at the Rodney Fox Shark Expeditions booth at the GO Diving Show in Sydney, Australia!

The timing seems appropriate. We saw sharks on all three wrecks last weekend. Maybe Mark Tozer can tell us what kind they were, because despite spending an unreasonable amount of time in the ocean, we are still terrible at identifying sharks. Maybe it's better that way?

If you find yourself in Sydney this weekend, stop by the Rodney Fox Shark Expeditions booth and say hello. And, if coming face-to-face with Great White sharks is on your bucket list, check out their expeditions, dates and itineraries at rodneyfox.com.au.

And a huge thank you to Becca Boring of Backscatter Underwater Video & Photo for making a very special Tenacious merchandise delivery halfway around the world. ❤️

Funny how small the world can get sometimes. Stay tuned.

We traveled 200 miles round trip this weekend, explored three different wrecks, and made it through an evening of rather unpredictable weather. The weekend didn’t go entirely as expected, but that’s part of the adventure. Once again, we proved that a solid plan is important, but so is the ability to improvise with people who know how to have a great time. Forever grateful for such a wonderful crew.
