Sharks
Every diver's dream encounter. From reef sharks patrolling drop-offs to hammerheads in open water, sharks command instant attention. Stay calm, avoid sudden movements, and enjoy the privilege — they're far more wary of you than you are of them.

A large, intimidating-looking shark with ragged teeth that protrude even when its mouth is closed. Despite the fierce appearance, it is slow-moving and generally docile around divers.
Usually encountered near caves, overhangs, or deep walls — often resting motionless near the bottom.
