Are these Black-tipped Reef Sharks? Excellent capture!

Beautiful shot and stunning crystal clear waters

Were you close with a wide angle lens or was the water just really clear where you were diving? I struggle with the "noise" generated by the water. Probably means I need to dive in nicer places.

These were part of a school of a dozen sharks. The closest they got to me was around 20 feet, the water was very clear up close, but if they got twice the distance away they were more of a murky blur.

This area in the South Pacific is known for it's clarity and color. Since they were circling, the boat operator had to come to us for a pick-up.
