    Shark feed - North Horn

    December 16, 2016, Coral Sea ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Dive #4
    Osprey Reef

    As soon as we hit the water there was sharks all over the place. A guide showed us where to sit to enjoy this spectacle.

    When everyone had a spot on the surrounding rocks they lowered a cage full of tuna heads. The sharks swamped to the cage and continued to circle around it after it hit the bottom. Then one of the guides had to swim into this school of sharks to cut the cage open to release the tuna heads. She bolted as soon as she opened the cage, and for good reason because seconds after the cage opened, the first tuna head popped up, it was a free for all shark feeding frenzy.

    You don't want to be caught in the middle of that!

    The white tip reef and grey reef sharks here seemed more aggressive than the ones in Fiji, I guess its because the Fiji sharks do that everyday, so they are "more tamed". While these sharks are completely wild!
