Diver swims alongside school of nurse sharks

Nurse sharks are an extremely docile species of shark. They spend most of their day cuddled up together under the jetty, often over 30 of them! Although they are calm by nature, they rank 4th in documented sharks bites on humans - mainly due to irresponsible tour operators encouraging feeding and incautious behaviour around the sharks. 📹: @journeyofascubadiver . . . 📍@joydivemaldives #scuba #diving #sharks #underwater #snorkeling #nurseshark #sharkweek #funnyanimals #cuteanimals #safariislandr
