I got to see the 3m bronze whaler shark that was circling their boats off Burrewarra point

It was a few days before the race and I had just climbed into the dive boat and was waiting for some other people to get in when we spotted it circling the boat.

It then went off and circled another bunch of divers in the water.

it was a very large and curious shark
