I was fortunate enough to free dive with these beautiful creatures today.
The Grey Nurse Shark, also known as the sand tiger shark or spotted raggedtooth shark are found along Australia's east coast at a number of popular dive sites.
These sharks are predominantly found in inshore coastal waters and are likely to be seen cruising around sandy bottoms and rocky caves, and close to reefs and islands.
Hook and line fishing in areas important for the survival of threatened species has been identified as a key threatening process affecting Greynurse Sharks.
* Grey nurse sharks are now protected under fisheries legislation in New South Wales, Tasmania, Queensland and Western Australia.
