Face to face with a shark



Had someone told me six months ago that I would soon hover over the sea bed, 32 metres under water, looking a shark into the eyes, I think I would have seriously questioned their judgement or possibly even their sanity. Yet, that is exactly what happened.

One of the definite highlights of the trip was a close encounter with a Leopard (or Zebra) shark on our last dive

The crowning moment of a dive that also included a nice Moray eel, and no less than seven lionfish in a group (a sight that would be the highlight of almost any dive, but this time was nearly forgotten as I was writing up my log). Of course, on this particular dive we did not bring a camera.

Another definite highlight was spotting two or more Manta rays on three dives. These gentle giants glide gracefully, and seemingly effortlessly, through the water. They’re also accommodating enough to swim in circles, so that once you’ve spotted one, you’re likely to see it again several times before you (or it) have to leave. Before anyone was going anywhere, one of them was even kind enough to swim up really close to me.

There was also a turtle that happily accepted the bananas offered from the boat, and as we headed back towards land, we were followed by a small group of dolphins.

So a perfect send-off, after a last dive that nicely rounded off four days of meeting new people and seeing a well above average selection of all the wonders found below the surface of the ocean.
