Crikey, the Reef Shark looks a bit close for comfort. How big was it? And how fast did you swim away?

Actually I didn’t manage to get a picture of the really big shark we saw (and he saw us!) – it was a Grey reef shark about 8.5ft long. The ones in the photos are White Tip Reef Sharks, about 5.5 – 6.5 feet. Perfectly harmless & much better at swimming than Scuba divers!
