Caribbean Nurse Shark

Yesterday we got some fresh caught fish from other sailors. Today we prepare them for dinner. The minute we throw the leftovers overboard a couple of huge nurse sharks appear to make use of this free, easy to get, meal. They must be at least four metres long. I don't want to miss the opportunity to swim with these creatures, get some snorkel gear and plunge into the water.
