Bull sharks in Thailand

Bull sharks cannot only be encountered in Fiji and the Bahamas, the two main field sites of the Bull Shark Tagging Programme. Well, this is no big news and we all know that the bull shark is a circumglobal species. But it's good news to have a "new" site on the map where this species seems to be readily accessible to divers: Chumphon Pinnacle in Thailand.

Shark Reef Marine Reserve Fiji

My very first dive on Shark Reef in 2003 immediately got me hooked! Six species of sharks on a single dive including a very good number of decent sized bull sharks and the beautiful silvertip shark! It was clear from the very beginning that one day Shark Reef would host the Bull Shark Tagging Programme. That day came in 2004 and ever since, Shark Reef Marine Reserve is home to the Bull Shark Tagging Programme Fiji.

Jaws gay?

All right, enough teasing, back to the "mating" zebra sharks! What is your first thought when you look at this picture? Looks like mating zebra sharks to you? It did to me when I first had a look at Petra Gangolf's excellent set of underwater photographs. Petra is a keen diver spending a lot of time underwater, this time in Thailand. She came across these two guys and was excited to see mating zebra sharks I guess (not an uncommon sight there).
