The two-year-old wobbegong, or carpet sharks, measuring up to 80cm in length, are bottom-dwelling sharks and regarded as harmless but can grow to three metres.
They were diving with a range of sharks including Sand Tigers, Lemon sharks, Nurse sharks, Wobbegongs, Bamboo sharks, Southern Stingrays and other species of fish found in the Caribbean.
