Today goes to show it’s all about the luck of the draw when working with wild animals! Our first trip was on the slower side only having one shark who was really working with us, making passes on his own leisurely time. In between passes though we had a very playful Short-Tailed stingray entertaining us with its attempts on the decoy. The afternoon trip today, however, was cooking! Right off the bat our first shark was a 4.1m female who was giving us nice slow motion passes and attempts on the decoy. The sharks just kept coming on our second trip, with one shark in particular, a 3.4m female who continuously turned directly in front of the cage, showing off every inch of her to the divers. Hopefully tomorrow brings us some of the same incredible action…
