A large grey nurse shark swims towards me. Its teeth protrude like an array of daggers from a horror movie.
As it moves closer I become aware of the activity on the other side of the perspex tunnel. Shark watchers lift cameras and videos, no doubt hoping to record the moment of contact between diver and grey nurse shark.
The shark and its attached sucker fish, known as remoras continue overhead and away. My heart slows as I watch for the next incoming fish.
For more than half an hour, we are in the company of grey nurse sharks, sandbar whaler sharks, stingrays and wobbegongs. There is even one fish, albeit 2m long, that is a cross between the sharks and rays. We surface bubbling after our encounter along with a little more knowledge of the marine life found along the local coast.
