Stuart, the virus cannot be transmitted under water; I think you are safe there ! That’s a creepy but creepy good image - you did well capturing that! How deep is the water there? Just curious.

Thank you!
It's exciting in a fun way. Not an adrenaline rush way. Those are Sand Tiger sharks, off of North Carolina. They are very docile. The excitement is in finding them and then succeeding in capturing good images of them. Quite often, once you start swimming anywhere close enough to them to get good photos, they will just swim off.

Amazing shot! The sharks obviously dominate the image, but what is that stuff on the left?

Thank you!
That is the bow section of the wreck of the Aeolus. A USCG cable layer. Purpose sunk in 1988 as an artificial reef, off the coast of North Carolina. 20-something miles out, I think(?). Usually accessed by a dive charter boat out of Morehead City, NC. Usually hosting a number of Sand Tiger sharks.
