Exciting Shark Rodeo with Caribbean Reef Sharks and Blacktip Sharks off the Bahamas (00003180)

Up Close with Caribbean Reef Sharks and Blacktip Sharks

Description: Experience the fascinating Shark Rodeo with Caribbean Reef Sharks (Carcharhinus perezi) and Blacktip Sharks (Carcharhinus limbatus) off the coast of the Bahamas. Divers and an abundance of small fish gather around a 'chumsicle' made of frozen fish scraps, while the sharks eagerly circle the delicious buffet. This breathtaking feeding scene can last anywhere from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the stability of the bait. The sharks pay no attention to the divers, focusing solely on the food. Immerse yourself in this exciting underwater world!
