Cape Town - Diving with sharks

The thrill: Diving with a couple of sand tiger sharks without any protection
The trick: The dive would be in an aquarium so it was a controlled environment
The fun fact: The sharks were fed only once a week, precisely the day I was diving...

Diving with turtles... an amazing experience

The outcome: Nothing gory happened. The sharks were curious about my presence, specially at the beginning. Probably they were expecting me to feed them. I had to sink slowly and use the rocks to protect my back (and my divemaster had to use a wooden stick to keep them away)

When I tried to get out, the younger one (a two meters male) got really, really interested in me and circled me for a while. My divemaster was a bit worried (to say the least) but with his help and trying not to freak out it finally got bored and left.

Disclaimer: Sand tigers are not that agressive but then, diving in a aquarium it's much more conflict prone than in outdoors.... It was a thrilling experience anyway ;-)
