“Following a dive trip to the Bahamas to photograph sharks, the group I was traveling with decided to take a side trip to Florida to try our luck photographing alligators. After braving the waters with sharks, three hurricanes, Miami traffic, and voracious mosquitoes, why fear alligators?” The largest alligator ever recorded in Florida was 17 feet 5 inches long (5.3 meters).
