Diver's Notes

This was the bull shark feeding dive. There were four bull sharks that came to eat. There were also several large sting rays. Kevin got attached by a trigger fish. I had to self inflate by BCD again. The bull sharks are much larger than the black tipped reef sharks, but there were much calmer while eating.
