Grey Nurse Shark by

Grey Nurse Sharks hang out off the NSW coast.

Grey Nurse Sharks are known as Raggy Tooth Sharks in South Africa and Sand Tiger Sharks in the US.

They are endangered in Australia, particularly in New South Wales waters yet the government has only made a half hearted attempts to protect the species.

SAY NO TO SHARK FIN SOUP! Walk out of restaurants that serve Shark Fin soup and let them know why!

This shot also features in one of my calendar’s

    Thanks for the feedback everyone, much appreciated.
    Its taken me maybe 20 + dives to get the Grey Nurses not just at the shallow end of Fishrock cave, but in the entrance, so its very satisfying to not blow the opportunity and end up with this shot.
