The link posted here will take you to a six minute video shot by Mike Gerken off Olympus out of Morehead City. The wreck is the Schurz, this is one of those you have to see it to believe it videos, it is worth the effort.

Question for the day: Does God love me for some unexplained reason and blessed me with a wonderful wife - OR - Did God bless me with a wonderful wife and, therefore, has learned to love me for her sake?
Now that is a shark dive, they looked to be a fun group of sharks and i think if that group wanted it could tear up anything with the teeth on the one. if they would just chow the lion fish.
they will if it is presented right, I was told that a speared one held in front of them will be gobbled...
The Schurz is one of my favorite dives and it is interesting to see it wrapped up in Sand Tigers. Typically there are only one or two on the wreck at a time. The usual resident sharks have typically turned up their noses when I have offered them a speared Lionfish as a treat.Maybe I haven't been presenting them right. I usually try to rid the wreck of as many as I can as this wreck offers some of the larger ones I see.
Awesome Video, Mike Gerken has an awesome blog. Mike Gerken's Dive Blog Report
That is where I first saw this vid, I have watched it a few times. I would love to see that many sand tigers at once!
Great video!! The only time I have ever seen that many sharks was on the Proteus last august. We must have had 60-70 within view of the prop. It was something that I will never forget!!
Schurz is one of my favorites NC wrecks. Good to see the water is clearing up, we were down a few weeks ago and it was still pea soup.
Wonders why people think that if they say it enough it makes it so

What a great video, thanks. I absolutely love those days where there are sandies everywhere. Looks like you had amazing conditions topside too. And to end your dive with a huge pod of dolphins doesn't stink either.
Note to self, hurry up and get a thicker wetsuit for balmy November dive days. I'll have to ask some of the captains if these conditions are more prevalent in November or if you got lucky. First half of the summer was fantastic, last few months a bit rough with many a called dive.
