Actor Paul Walker Joins National Geographic Shark Expedition

Paul Walker, who starred in the aquatic thriller "Into the Blue" and the "Fast & the Furious" series, has fulfilled a lifelong dream by starring in a new TV documentary about great white sharks.
Walker's shark mission, which is set to air Monday November 16, wasn't the first time he's been diving for a project. The actor spent 11 days off the coast of Mexico with a film crew and shark experts shooting footage of the sea monsters for National Geographic channel's Expedition Great White. The former marine biology student admits the experts on board for the mission weren't quite sure what to make of their Hollywood guest at first.

M/V Mamro Pictures

The link posted is a collection of pictures from the Mamro which is a charter boat out of Nanaimo B.C.

Brief Description of Mamro Adventures:

The Mamro is a 52-foot converted fishing boat that provides simple but satisfactory accommodations for six divers and two crewmembers. It used to be a part of the Extasea Charters fleet and is equiped with two heads and a full shower. Diving equipment is stowed on a skiff which is towed along behind the Mamro and used as a staging area for pre-dive safety checks. The skiff is then used to drop divers at the precise location of the dive site and kept live throughout the dive.
Mamro Adventures offers all inclusive live-a-board dive charters for groups of 4-6 almost any where in Western Canada. Also available for small film and photo crews, kayaking, whale and bear tours, crew accommodations and water taxi.
