    Its not that big but yep a change or wet suit would be needed. Poor shark lassoed by Mick's leg rope might have been a bit surprised as well I bet.

    I love diving near headlands and often see sharks not so far from lots of people swimming.

    This one was clearly window shopping only

    Bloody close. Also not sure if anyone saw the story towards the end of last year where a teenager near Mandurah was bitten by a shark while surfing and then rode home. Anyway we are family friends and that kid was also damn lucky. His scar is impressive and he has a story to tell that few can beat.
