Over the past few years I have done quite a lot of dives at Magic Point, the Grey Nurse Shark aggregation site near Maroubra Beach in Sydney's eastern suburbs, as part of a project to identify specific sharks by photographing their spot pattern.
I was allowed to get in the cave with them which allowed me to get really close - it was quite an experience...
I subsequently put together a fairly comprehensive article on the Grey Nurse for the Australian magazine SportDiving, documenting how they were hunted to the point that they are now officially an endangered species and some of the conservation efforts being made to turn the situation around.
Here is the LINK to page 1/3 on my site (www.indopacificimages.com) which explains all this plus provides the link to download the article.
