Sharks are the one of the most interesting creatures that we have encountered while diving. We've seen them very calm and seen them with bizerk behavior. We've seen them zig zag erratically and had to hit them away on several ocassions and we have seen them swimming nose to tail. We've touched them and even stroked a nurse shark or two. Have you ever observed the spicules on their nose?
So far we've seen Gray reef, Bull, Lemon, Nurse, Hammerhead, Raggle Tooth, White tip, Black tip, Silver tip and Grey Whalers.
