This female bull shark was patrolling the bottom, apparently without paying any attention to the divers. But only apparently: as soon as we started to ascend, it started following us to the surface!

I was very happy to get to see at least 7 bull sharks, all female, in a single dive. I was even happier to see how the activity was focused toward understanding and appreciating the role of sharks in the sea, and not a futile adrenaline-driven stunt.

It is always an amazing experience to interact with whale sharks: so large and so gentle.
