Wow, I didn't think my pictures would light off this extensive discussion of shark behavior. But since it did, I will throw in my $0.02. I was on the Spar for a grand total of 28 minutes, so any generalities I might make about what I saw there would be unsupportable. OTOH, I have been swimming with and photographing sharks for thirty years now and I have seen many types of behavior, so I feel qualified to at least offer opinions based on experience. And that opinion is that the sand tiger sharks I saw on the Spar were totally disinterested in my presence. Unlike hammerheads, they also did not seem bothered by my bubbles. Yes, I was approached very closely on several occasions, but that did not seem to be the result of any interest in me, rather I just got in the way of where they were going (on several occasions, intentionally). A few times, when they got too close for a photo, I gently pushed them away. That brought absolutely no reaction that I could discern. These sharks simply did not care in any way that I was there.
