There were a lot of sharks in the area. Mostly Reef Sharks, but a few divers saw, and photographed, a hammerhead. It was just getting to the time of year when you start seeing the hammerheads more frequently.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Just in case you were not happy seeing only a few sharks per dive, we did a shark dive where food in the form of a frozen fish-sicle is brought down so you can see a lot of sharks in close proximity. I was able to retrieve a few teeth off the bottom when the feeding was done.<\/p>\n

That’s a well chewed fish-sicle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Just another dive, with just another big shark.ere was one dive where 3 of us were under the boat and a bunch of sharks came in and were circling around us. At one point I noticed that they seemed to be paying just a little bit more attention to me. Then I realized that I had walked across the boat, right through the area where they had been cleaning fish earlier. I think I smelled like a fish-sicle.<\/p>\n

You might think divers are a bit weird. One time when we got to one of our dive sites, a bunch of sharks came swimming up around the boat, circling just below the surface. Everyone was saying things like “hurry up and get ready so we can jump in with the sharks”. Yup, we are weird.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
That is me. You will notice that I am blowing a lot of air out of my lungs. That is so I can sink and get closer to the shark for a better look.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
