Merry Christmas. 3rd dive on Osprey Reef. Took the gopro on the floaty pole with light.
The current was starting to rip through, so all divers used the rope to get to the site.
We all sat around a central bommie and watched the sharks nuzzle the bin full of tuna heads.
On opening the bin, all the sharks started a frenzy eating show, murking up the water, fish and sharks darting everywhere.
The sounds of cracking bones filled my ears as the sharks crushed the tuna skulls.
Within 1 min the show was over, the sharks dispersed, the current cleared the murk and we heading back along the line to the boat.
I had been told that the shark feeding was a bit of a tourist highlight, but it was in fact exciting, seeing a shark feeding frenzy in action is amazing.
