SHARKS,
SHARKS! The majority of the sharks you will see are at Blue Corner
are females. Most of the time the males are off on their
own cruising other reefs. Please DO NOT feed them.
ADVANCED
LEVEL :: DRIFT DIVE / WALL DIVE As
its name suggests, Blue Corner is - a corner. It juts out
from the reef, starting in shallow water and dropping off to
well over 1,000 feet. The corner plateaus at 60 feet/18meters,
creating a strong current as the flow of water comes across this
outcropping of coral. The currents, changing with the tides,
can approach the corner from either the north or the south, with
the speed of the current changing based on the moon. By
starting with the current, we maximize the action you see and
minimize your swimming effort.
As you swim to Blue
Corner you will have the wall on your side. As you get
to the plateau you will cross on top of the reef. You will
then pick a spot on the reef near the edge and use your reef
hook
(to minimize damage to the reef). You might hang there
in the current for ten minutes or more just watching the action
- this is as natural as you will observe sharks. The
sharks will circle over and over allowing you the opportunity
to photograph
or just observe them up close and personal. You will mainly
see two species of sharks during the dive, the gray reef shark
and the white
tip shark. You can
occasionally see male gray reef sharks and other species.
