Feeding Sharks with the Fittest on Earth

Some images from a boat trip with Reebok's Crossfit and Lifting Athletes in the Bahamas where they swam and fed sharks. My favorite image from the trip is not the backflip or shark, it's of 17 year old weightlifting phenom, CJ Cummings. When he got back in the boat after his first snorkel above a coral reef we asked him how it went and his response blew us away..."Pretty cool, that was my first time in the ocean." Hope you enjoy the images. 

We chartered a boat with Stuart Cove, famous for being the go to dive shop for movies such as the James Bond Films and shows like Myth Busters.
