Bull sharks are formidable creatures who command respect. Their stocky bodies and powerful jaws can intimidate even the most seasoned scuba diver. Here, in Roatan, Honduras, the bull sharks are the apex predators and they fear nothing. As these scuba divers completed a dive, they were surprised at the arrival of more than a dozen of the hefty animals.
The sharks swam around them curiously, evaluating them with watchful eyes. The scuba divers wisely stayed low and moved slowly, showing no fear and doing their best not to act like prey.
Sharks will rarely bite humans, and when they do, it is often because of irresponsible or careless behaviour. These divers waited for the sharks to lose interest and swim away before they ascended calmly as a group to return to the boat. They had a thrilling encounter and also, pictures and videos that are unforgettable.
