Details |
For our second dive of the day we were going to the gutter with the grey nurse sharks. This was a pretty simple dive. Jump in the water, swim to the gutter and swim with the sharks. They were not at all worried about us and would swim very close. Every now and then they'd slightly change direction but they pretty much kept doing their laps despite our presence.
On the safety stop I tried my hand at some selfies although I found out when I looked at the photos that someone was photobombing me. |
