Hola, and happy new yr. I just wanted to say thanks again for sharing your adventures with me, and Monique, you certainly have a way of making us feel like we're right there with you. I'm here in Utah, shoveling the snow out of my driveway so I can run a few errands if the fog would let up a little. as you can see your letters are as close as I can get to the ocean right now, sooooo thanks again,

xoxo Terri

I greatly enjoyed your current report on your exploratory trip to survey oceanic life around sea mounts. I have had no experience with sharks and I appreciate your sharing this experience. Thank you very much and best wishes for safe sailings in the future. My wife and I extend a happy Christmas to you and your husband.

Sincerely,
Sid and Carol Sanders

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the most incredible two weeks of my life. I had a wonderful time with you and the ReefQuest guys and cannot wait to come back next year - hopefully for all 3/4 expeditions!! I have already reserved my spot with Neil and I will learn to tell the time before next year! Everytime I see gulls flying in a group I get excited now (and then have to remind myself that I am back in the UK). I miss the sharks, you guys and Seal Island horribly and am counting the days until I can come 'home'!

So basically just thanks - I hope the rest of the season was just as fantastic.

I also forgot to tell you while on the boat, but before I came out I had exchanged a few emails with Ian Fergusson (BBC NHU, IUCN SSG) who recommended you as the best guys (infact I think he said the ONLY guys) to go out with, he had many kind words to say about yourselves and Rob (without knowing that I was already going with you). Just thought I would pass that on - it's always nice to hear a compliment.

I very much enjoyed reading Shark bytes and will look forward to next months installment!

Take Care Guys!

I just wanted to write all of you a personal thank you for giving my son Cody a trip of a lifetime. Everyday since his return has been a new story or experience. His pictures and video are amazing. I am really glad I didn't know ahead of time how small the boat was and how close they were able to get to the sharks. I was just amazed how much they were able to see, research, and enjoy. Cody is like a new person since he returned.

He has told me about the wonderful meals you enjoyed, the hikes, the kayak trip, the baboon sightings, and all the other adventures. I can't tell you how proud I am of Cody and it makes me so happy to see his eyes sparkle when he talks about his trip. Especially the day you helped rescue some of the animals.

Cody talks so much about all of you that I feel I know you already. And if you ever need a place to stay in South Florida I know that all of us would gladly open our homes to you just as you did for the kids.

We bought a beautiful frame for the poster Chris and Monique signed for Cody. It will be going up in our living room next to some of the pictures Cody took.

I can't thank all of you enough for such a wonderful gift you shared with Cody. I can only hope that Cody's career is as fullfilling as yours and he too can be an influence on a young person someday.

Take care and please stay safe out there, those sharks are huge..haha

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for an expedition my wife and I will remember for the rest of our lives. I especially feel very privileged to have experienced the pelagic shark dive. Chris, is it possible to purchase any of the photos that you took during the dive on May 14, 2004. If so, I would very much like to purchase the photos of your choosing. Please let me know. Monique, it was an honor to meet you. Marc, thank you for the personal tour you gave us of Etosha. Thanks again for a fantastic experience.

I just rented (and will soon buy) your air jaws and air jaws 2 DVD. If only I had the resources to join you on an adventure! Chris, your photos and love of the white shark and its elusive life are breathtaking. I throughly enjoyed the DVDs and found them very rewarding and educational. I watch shark week every year and they only scratch the surface of the great work you have accomplished! I love your intensity and admiration for one of the most magnificent animals on this earth. I look forward to purchasing a few posters and hopefully a print in the near future. Keep up the great work as I will be watching your advancement as you are undoubtedly the TOP in the field! Thanks again for such a wonderful look into the world of the white shark!

Sincerly
Jeremy Payne
