That was awesome. 

 

I did not realise hammer heads get that big.

The most amazing thing I found was the actual number of reef sharks.!

Yep there are some cool videos from Mad Mullet of them catching some crackers land based up at Fraser. They are big and cool looking but apparently quite harmless to humans... although I am sure if you put your foot in their mouth they would be interested in having a taste.

Amazing hay. They seemed pretty unconcerned by the big shark too.

 the streaks of brown liquid stuff floating in the water, at about 1.40 into the vid,  may be blacktip poo

A lot of chasing for not much chewing to begin with and then the one that did get eaten didn’t look like it had the strength or energy to get away. I guess that reinforces the role of the sharks in cleaning up the injured and sick fish to keep the gene pool strong and help clean up the oceans.  I have seen big schools of black tips on sand flats in the Whitsundays but they were all around that 1.2 metre mark which just goes to show that things really are bigger and better in the USA.
