Whitetip Reef Shark

Whitetip reef sharks rest in groups on the sand alongside the wreck during the day, their slender bodies pressed against the steel hull or tucked beneath coral overhangs. At dusk they become active hunters, weaving through the wreck's corridors in pursuit of small fish and crustaceans. Their relatively docile daytime behaviour makes them excellent subjects for close-up observation.
