Shark Dive at Bull Run

Easily the most exciting dive in the Bahamas was the creature feature of sharks. In this case, Caribbean reef sharks with an appetite for barracuda thankfully not divers. The sound of the boat's motors must produce a Pavlov response for these creatures. As the divers entered the water, the sharks arrive and begin to encircle the amiphtheatre of coral that we are seated in. As the bait is lowered, into the waters, the behaviour of the sharks changes from calmness or excitement. Then it begins, the feeding frenzy. Posted by Picasa
