Big Sharks......

Well yesterday was another fun day on CI.

Me and Jase got the opportunity to have a staff dive out on the boat.... so we nipped round the corner to a dive site known as "The BIG scary fish". This site is known as the Big Scary Fish, as the site is frequented by Giant Travellies - upto 2m in length... who are very confident in the water. The site also often sees sharks coming in for a nosey too. At this site locals moor their boats to clean off their catch, so the fish associate boats with the opportunity of a free meal.

So we arrives at the dive site and on que the GT's arrive.... approx 20 of them. We kit up.... then the big boys arrived. 3 x Silky Sharks circle the boat, very close to the surface. The biggest sharks I have ever seen, close up! Over 3m in length and very very sharky, with big teeth and white bellies!!!

We planned to enter the water together (safety in numbers) but Jase set me up and i ended up entering the water first, leaving him on the boat.... I was not a happy bunny. I didnt know where to look first. 3 massive sharks less than a metre away from me..... eventually Jase stopped laughing and plucked up the courage and entered the water too. We decended to the sandy patch below the boat (about 15m) any watched the sharks... who were circling us.

The sharks mooched off.... one of whom returned 5 minutes later... right in front of us.... to check us out.

At 40m, when checking out some cool morays and shrimps.... again a sneaky shark came in for a nosey. Not too close this time.... about 5m away from me.

Amazing Vis today - about 50m. At one point at depth, we looked up and saw the boat on the surface... with a school of GT's and 4 massive sharks!!!!! Would have been a super siloutte shot if we had the camera with us

Just another day on Sunny CI....

Its Jase 400th Dive today.... defo taking the camera.... will try and get a naked shot just for you Sonic.... but unlikely as Jase is teaching.


Hope you all have a fab Easter Weekend x

not impressed with sonics Lobster - you have to have sharks!

400 dives thats quite a number Mr Jason well done

400 dives requires some nakedness so im afraid the students will have to like it or lump it.

Sorry.... no intent to upstage anyone.... Sonics lobsters were fab!!!!! Me and Jase were very impressed with the Vis you had too.... never seen it that good before at Trefor!

Yeah Jase clocked up 403 dives now. Unfortunatly no nakedness and no pics.... Jase was the absolute PADI professional with his students!... much to my disappointment The Aussies were somewhat bemused by the old nav lessons "towel over the head trick"!

..... Smudge you've taught us well .... in the visitors/guest book at the dive centre - me and Jase were described at Awesome Instructors!!!!!
(not bad to say i'm only a DM - its nice to be promoted tho lol)

Not only sharks guys but a GIANT LEOPARD SPOTTED MORAY a huge fella who has no real identification apparently he's a hybrid to Christmas Island , Lex saw him again today so we really need to get that bloody camera in the water

Never any picutures - I think your really both really just hiding in Grimbsby

hee hee hee..... .... we've been rumbled!

Alexis Mi old China


PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE no naked shots of the old fella 400 dives or not.

Sorry Jase

Keep up the good work.

Andy mate,its nice to see that some people have some sense of decency
However less of the old and all that I'll have you know the majority of the people over here struggle to age me and often say I look to be in my late 20's or very early 30's
Oh and lex still looks her normal age so I must be wearing well

I like it skipper, I must admit you are ageing well, you even had everyone here fooled, if only they really new that were closer to 50 matey

Steady now lets not start punching below the belt
I'm definately closer to 40 than 50
But have the body of a 27 year old to use
