Shark-fest

It's shark-fest here in Queensland as the endangered Gray Nurse Shark (AKA spotted ragged-tooth shark or sand tiger shark) is visiting our shores.
We've found a great babysitter, so we figured we'd go out for a dip and dive a few times to freshen up our skills. We can hear the whales sing faintly. (Apparently we just missed them as they where 50m away from our boat while we were under). We spot a couple of full grown sharks and they are big (160KGs and the full 3.5 meters) but harmless. One of them has a huge hook in the corner of its mouth. I reckon the fisherman's tackle didn't stand a chance.
