Shark approaching

I was watching some chubs milling around, when I noticed a much larger fish heading my way. Easily identified as a Whitetip Reef Shark, it hugged the bottom and passed directly below me.

Whitetips are mostly curious, but like anything in the water, they should be treated with respect and given space.

      Those are good guidelines. The reef sharks here are reliably curious but no more. I think one would have to do something really stupid to provoke an attack.
