No matter how many times you tell your rational brain that a shark doesn't really pose all that much of a risk, there's no stopping your limbic system from reacting. I'm surprised you can't hear the sound of my heart pounding against my ribcage in this video. The shark is a gray reef shark. And he was probably about 5' or 6' feet long.
After we got back on the boat, our captain moved the boat around the island to another dive spot while we were waiting for our surface time to be over. We anchored next to another group of divers that I'm guessing were practicing their underwater navigation skills. They submerged...
...but as we swam away from the island a bit out into the open water, the visibility improved greatly. Check out the size and brightness of this beautiful butterflyfish!
A little less than two hours later and we found ourselves on the tiny island of Ko Tao! As soon as we landed, we booked a place to stay and I booked a bunch of dive trips with Asia Divers.
