Un mot sur l'oeuvre

"Here they are. 25 meters deep, I cross the first sharks of the pass grey sharks constitute the majority of the individuals. The flow is not yet strong enough, they remain volatile and scattered. I drift at the bottom of the pass, without effort, and I see in the distance a first wall of about thirty sharks.They are in tight rows. Franck, his bottles on the back, is with me and tries to breathe calmly to be as discreet as possible . " Guillaume Nery
