13/10/2004: "Nurse Shark ..........(Tawny Shark)"
A non threatening species here, in the ultimate shark close-up pose for the video camera. Location: Batt Reef, a shallow sandy reef 27 km offshore from Port Douglas, (and the latest tiger shark HQ for underewater shark photography).
Nurse sharks have twin dorsal fins positioned near the tail, similar to a great nurse in this respect. They tend to be shy at first. Like a big tropical wobbegong and probably not as dangerous either.
