Around the same time last year, divers from Kuredu and Komandoo had some great encounters with Silvertip Sharks on KFFC. The good news is, they are back!
It seems that the year away from the waters of the Lhaviyani Atoll has also allowed them to lose their fear of cameras as we have had them coming very close to pose for photographs.
