Here is a list of all the sharks we encountered.
It's not just the number of sharks we encountered that was unusual. It was also the behavior of a couple of the new sharks. One individual, now officially named "Tryss", or crazy Tryss as I like to call her, displayed a very unusual behavior. She came to the cages multiple times, without any bait attracting her to them, sticking her nose into it, bumping the boat and squeezing through gaps. She did all that in slow motion, never freaking out like other sharks when they touch the cage, keeping her eyes open and totally aware of her surroundings.
Check out the pictures and videos of her.

Hello there!
Hey, anyone up there?
See ya guys!
In 18 years of diving with these amazing animals, I have never witnessed a shark behave like this. It just goes to show you that they will never stop to surprise you. That's why I love my job and am completely fascinates by these awesome creatures.
Shark Diver proudly supports the Marine Conservation Science Institute through our MCSI hosted expeditions. Joining us on one of these expeditions is a great way to learn about our sharks and support the research. Maybe you'll even get to name a shark, like the ones who just named "Tryss" on our last trip.
Let's go shark diving!
