Victor Douieb Sculptures
April 15-21, 2012
This year we were treated to special guest Victor Douieb. Victor is an acomplished sculptor whose pieces are currnetly exhibited in the Ft. Lauderdale Museum of Art. He also just released a book featuring his artwork. With a passion for wildlife, and sharks in particular, Victor set out to come face to face with Oceanic Whitetip Sharks to inspire his next design, a smaller (more portable) Oceanic!
Check out Victor's Website for his Trip Report with the Oceanics.
Victor's Original Oceanic Design, 2011
Each of the guests received a copy of Victor's newly released book featuring his work. Victor signed each copy after a week of great new memories.

We had an increadible week of shark encounters after a dreary start brought bad weather on the first day. We spent hours in the water with the Oceanics with amazing free diving and SCUBA encounters.
Victor spent the evenings working on the sculpture. It was amazing to watch the piece come together.
During one of the dives, a Blue Marlin buzzed by, chasing after a fish.
And at the end of the day, we were treated to a huge Blue Shark. This male was about 12 feet long and stuck around for a long time. It was one of those days that are just hard to beat!!
