Francois Leduc, Montreal, Quebec, CANADA

Recently met Francois while he was in Victoria promoting the latest IMAX film Great White Shark
Francois Leduc is a breath hold diver who played a critical role in the filming of Great White Shark; it was his job to ensure the divers featured on screen had their backs covered. He dove in and swam freely with sharks, the preditor we have all learned to fear, the ocean's largest and arguably most dangerous animal.
