Terence’s Tip

The fact that so many shark photos have been taken around the dive sites of Florida shows that the majority of these creatures are non aggressive if unprovoked and prefer to eat fish and crustaceans.

Many of the species shown above can be found close to shore and close to coral wall drop offs where you will be able to photograph them close up and watch them swim majestically through the clear waters of Florida's coastal regions.
