So did any of the guys get too close for comfort? Would have made me nervous I have to admit.

not really. to be honest, i swam up to a few on the bottom and they swam away. reef sharks arent as aggressive as your tigers, great whites, etc.

its amazing to see them...i can honestly say i wasnt nervous one bit.

I might have pooped my wet suit or chumed in my regulator :-X

I've watched that vid about 30 times, I like the groupers and also other reef fishes that finally get bold enough to come out and feed toward the end as much as the sharks!

Great vid!

yeah those are actually potato cods. they definitely hold there own. i pet one of them (i've seen other vids of people doing so), just to find out that you shouldnt do that because if too many people touch, it can remove the slim on their body.

i feel obligated to get more vids up. i have plenty of footage of huge dogface puffers, regal angels, moorish idols..the list goes on. i wish my flip mino had image stabilization since the footage seems very shakey.
