DESCRIPTION
The first dive is done at the Shark point, where Bull sharks are swimming around. The current is usually strong. A line is used to descend to a sandy bottom at 25m (80 ft) where another rope is laying on the bottom. The dive plan is to stay kneeling or laying down on the bottom, grabbing the rope, waiting for the sharks to pass by. Encounters are casual and the sharks usually keep a considerate distance.
The second dive is in a shallow reef close to the Shark point, where sometimes sharks can be spotted swimming above the reef.
