Isn´t this shark beautiful and elegant?. Sharks are the most perfect creatures inhabiting the seas. The photograph was taken at a distance that´s why its image isn´t very clear . If you knew the thrill you experience the firt time you see one these, you ´d be always dreaming to see more. I had the chance to see them even at a lot shorter distances and it´s indescribable, there are no words to show the excitement ,happiness and adrenaline rush you have. After the dive ,we were all speechless .I must say that most sharks are harmless if they aren´t bothered and you keep a reasonable distance. Can you see the diver on the bottom left corner? He was one of our team
