User's notes
This large shark 3.5 mt was in the company of at least one female, he was not friendly and demonstrated his disapproval of my presence with a threat display, dropped pectorals, arching and twisting his body, mouth gape. He was so large and close I could'nt get him in frame and I was alone, somewhat disconcerting
