Grey Nurse Shark Photos

[Sebastian]

I did a Grey Nurse Shark dive this weekend and brought my camera along.

Visibility wasn't too great but i still got some nice shots.

Tell me what you think.

I used a SeaLife Reefmaster RC

The last picture is me


Thanks

Is this the same type of shark that they call Sand Tiger in the US and raggery toothe shark in South Africa?

Pictures are pretty good.

 

[Sebastian]

Yes I think so

This is indeed what we call the Ragged Tooth Shark in South Africa.
We will be seeing lots of them from sometime next month at Aliwal Shoal of the Kwazulu Natal coast when they follow the sardine run coming to the Natal coast. They then spend time on Aliwal Shoal breeding before they continue up the coast.
Can't wait to dive with them again.

I kind of like the low vis. Makes it more creepy - sort of "jaws-esque" - like you know the shark is out there but not until it appears just in front of your mask do you really know where. Nice atmospherics.

arr, but the chances of a raggy biting you are pretty slim unles you trap it or piss it off.

if you want to be scared, then do bulls in that vis

Yeah that's why it makes them such a great shark to dive with and to take photos of.

WoW!! Can I say Jealous? That would be me... I've been diving for over a year here in Hawaii, and still no sharks! My husband saw two sharks one day of diving without me (I was on vacation) grrrrrrr... Great pics... I think the visibility just makes it more "scary" he he he Thanks for sharing

Very cool! I have seen a few sharks, but havn't managed to get one to sit still long enough for a photo. Damn, I hate unprofessional models!
