Am I the only one who doesn't find watching sharks swimming along minding their own business all that stimulating? That's what the sand tigers in NC appeared to be doing when I saw them on a wreck dive--circling around dozens of feet above us. To me, with the exception of whale sharks, great whites, hammerheads and other rarer species, they just look like gray hulks, not pretty like reef fish, and you can rarely get very close to them (except on a shark dive, which is the point here). The most interesting feature of a shark to many of us is that mouth full of razor-sharp teeth and their behavior when feeding. I have to admit that what interests me is seeing sharks feed, and to do that, you either have to chum/feed the sharks or be in something like the Sardine Run. I am ambivalent about so-called "shark dives," but just watching reef sharks and the like minding their own business isn't of much interest to me.
