Vic and I were having our Saturday morning swim at Smith’s just now and I was hoping to catch sight of our resident barracuda.

I caught a movement in the water ahead of us. Something substantial no more than a flicker of a shadow about 15 feet away. As we drew closer the large shape began to resolve and I though there it is.

It was then that I realised it was a nurse shark!

I called over to Vic ‘shark’ she yelped and set off swimming the way we had just come and I set off after the shark.

Seeing I had gone in the opposite direction Vic then turned and followed me.

We swam with a nurse shark in about six foot of water for the next few minutes just lovely!

Only a little one today about four and a half to five feet…

Nurse sharks are like buses nothing for ages and then two come along at once.
