All it takes is two “duh nuhs” from the theme song of Jaws to invoke terror in most of us. But not Euan Rannachan, professional photographer and all around shark aficionado. While cage diving around Mexico’s Guadalupe Island, Rannachan had the opportunity, skill and cajones to capture a great white shark doing its best rendition of the iconic movie poster from Jaws. For Rannachan, it’s not just about re-creating the shot that shark photographers have been trying to get for years, it’s also about the majesty and love for these incredible animals. As Rannachan tells it, “Hollywood portrays sharks as dangerous and terrifying because that sells tickets. It’s my goal to show the other side of these apex predators through my photos and videos. A lot of people’s reaction is fear, but also intrigue. I hope my images convey just how beautiful white sharks can be. I always tell people it’s an experience of a lifetime and I feel really honored and blessed to be able to do it each year.” Check out more of his amazing work on his site BEASHARK (seriously).

Vaer’s G5 Meridian Watch Looks and Feels Better Than the Five-Times More Expensive Option It Reminds You Of
Vaer has been one of our favorite watchmakers for as long as we can remember because they produce new, classic watches based on iconic designs. Case in point, the Vaer G5 Meridian watch you see here. This timepiece is a 1950s-inspired 20ATM automatic watch that’s USA-assembled, dual timezone, built with ocean-ready functionality, self-winding and the brand’s first true GMT (the latest version of their core dive watch design). What’s more, it pays homage to other watches that are incredibly more expensive or hard to come by whilst also adding new aspects that makes this Vaer G5 Meridian watch more desirable than the other options in our opinion.
