Tiger Sharks in East Indonesia

[Bulenyasar97]

Hi there,

On a recent diving adventure in the South Halmahera region I ran into 2 tiger sharks in separate island groups. I wanted to ask if other divers that frequent East Indonesia's vast diving regions if you have been noticing an increase in Tiger Shark populations?

I thought the only place with tigers in south east Asia was Malapascua, Philippines. Considering that it's just a small population they must come from somewhere else and it would make sense to me if they were along the Philippines trench up to Timor Leste
Does it make sense?
