Hungry Bull Shark in Fiji

 Almost every day near Beqa Island in Fiji a few highly trained divers take to shark infested waters with chum and tuna heads in order to perform the world famous shark feeding dive. Scuba divers descend 85ft and stand behind a rope to witness the spectacle. Up to eight different species of sharks are possible to appear: white tip, black tip, grey, tawny nurse, silvertip, bull, sickle fin lemons, and tiger sharks.

  This picture is of a big female bull shark opening wide to chomp a large tuna head. It all happened very fast and before I knew it the tuna head was gone. Moments later the shark was out of sight as well. A tornado of other fish block your view until a shark swims right through the middle. It is a wild experience for the divers because you never know where the next shark is going to come from.
