Shark Bay From Above

Now for the nasty sharks. You can see the dark shadows under the water in these photos. They're the types of sharks that demand respect like bronze whalers & bull sharks. There are also some Shovel nosed sharks as well.
If you look closely to the top of frame in the photo above, you'll see a couple of scuba divers. They're "cleaning the fish tank" while being circled by some pretty big sharks with very bad attitudes. They had a shadow boat with them the whole time. The bronze whaler shadowing the divers would be pushing 5 feet long.
The bull shark in the below photo is easily 8 foot. Nasty piece of work that one let me tell you.


What I like about this enclosure is that the sharks behave naturally and swim about as they please instead of doing circles like in all the other shark pens I've seen. It's fairly typical of the way Seaworld on the Gold Coast set up they're animal environments with lots of room for the animals to swim freely.
