Shark 2 was identified as a female along with shark 4, the largest shark. Shark 2 also had a circular mark on the dorsal where a satellite tag had been previously. Visibility limited out cage diving but superb surface action made up for it. Many thanks to all, regards.

Divers got a fright when shark 4 bit down on the black float a number of times..very close up viewing, with lots of laughs afterwards. Water temperature very warm and visibility allowed excellent viewing, very relaxed behaviour from the sharks. many thanks to all, regards.

Many thanks to all and hope you enjoyed the trip, regards.
