We did two early dives at Shark Reef. A dive operation on Long Island does shark feeds at this site, which is why the sharks hang out there. We weren't feeding them, however, since that is totally dumb. On the first dive, there were about 4 or 5 grey reef sharks with us at a time. A lot of them had little cleaner fish entourages, which was pretty cute. On the second dive, there were even more sharks, probably up to 8 at one point. Viz was not so hot, and got worse as divers hung out and flailed around there. We checked out the reef a little too. Rob the DM pointed out a nice scorpion fish. We also saw a cute porkypine fish. After that, we headed back to George Town, boohoo.
