help identify shark Manly
Hi all,
I was doing some snorkeling at the fairy bower between Manly and Shelly beach and saw a group of 5 sharks, all around I'd say 80cm long.
They swim close to the bottom and the water level was about 5 to 6 meters. Hard to describe them in details, but I noticed a white spot a the top of the tail.
Just wondering what they are? Can't seem to find it on google.
If anyone has any idea, please let me know!
Thanks,
Gaetan

They are Dusky Whalers. Earlier in the summer they were strangly absent, but now they seem to be returning. A video of them can be seen: http://www.youtube.com/bocaj4224a
Hope this helps

So you want to be a SCUBA Diving Instructor?
- I have worked as an instructor for about 6 years. I absolutely love it. So I thought I would be able to shed a bit of light on the subject for anyone who is interested in becoming one themselves.
