So many of the questions I get asked is are there sharks out on The Great Barrier Reef. The answer is yes of course there is but what are the main sharks people see when they take a snorkel or dive trip out to the Reef.

Well from making nearly 2oo dives of Cairns in the last 2 years the majority of my encounters have been with white and black tip reef sharks. These guys are shy very timid and will swim away when frightened.

So my reply to people when they ask the question are there sharks on the reef I say yes there are! make a wish when you see one you are lucky.

I made a 3 day live aboard out on the Reef last week with Pro-Dive Cairns they have a fantastic operation a great crew fantastic dive gear and really good quality sites out on the reefs from Cairns. Here is a little video diving at night just under the boat this little guy came in to say hello. Enjoy the video and where ever you are happy diving.

I was lucky enough to be invited out on a boat called Silverswift last night to experience there night dive excursion they have just launched. The boat departed Cairns at 5:15 and we returned back to Cairns at 11:30pm they served hot soup between dives and a hot buffet dinner after our 2 dives!! I was really surprised by the underwater marine life to be honest, a very fruitful area. Thank you very much to all the crew and staff at Silverswift to give me the opportunity to try out there latest dive experience. A big thumbs up from me ! I have put together a little footage take a look below!

If you cant see the first video here is a second one with different tunes!
