Beautiful animals.

yes!

would like to share some suggestions:

Tiger has a specific dentition teeth which can open turtle shell like a can opener!

If tiger shark do attacking a diver... it will eat unlike other sharks all the body without leaving crumbs. Attack..which is preceded by a diver discreet surveillance made for minutes or hours by the shark ... without his knowledge

While diving close to tiger you must visually control++ the shark continually: as soon as you do not do this, the tiger do swimming pretty close to you to smell your body

Face to face closer you may observe how the shark is closing its eyes to protect its from injury... 5'19" on the vid

Tiger is a clever predator and has to patiently assess the risk taken by attacking an unknown prey: sea animal are on horizontal plane... but the diver is on a vertical plane!! thats may be confusing this predator.

a human eater...

Nice "denti"/ dentex dentexcapture !

I like to think of the denti like the cubera: deep, distrustful, clever..

The gonads named "coral"!

I suggest to drink an excellent french white wine!

I caught urchins in NZ and at the time a maori (indigenous polynésian people) showed me a local recipe: cooking the urchin while mixing the coral with milk and local spices...

My first experience with these seafood took place at the time I was a little boy..running on the boat I felt in a basket full of urchins! (my grand father pro fisherman in the Med Sea did sometimes fishing these sea food)...

thanks,s for your feedback

harbour seals frequently do resting, but must rise to the surface after about 1/2h apnea..sometimes without waking while sinking back to the bottom...

tend to be pretty cautious with humans!

Close to harbour seals..

sorry while using the french DCP

could be a local DCP drifting to the reef?

Thank's for your friendly feedback!

I hate++ to lose a wounded fish..
