A dive on a calm day with decent conditions at Pyramid Rock, Cape Town, with lots of spotted gully sharks (Triakis megalopterus) in the caves. They are skittish sharks who are spooked easily (they only eat small crustaceans, so are not "high" in the food chain even though they are not that small), so you need to remain calm in order to prevent that. But, you do need to take a breath and that is enough to make them leave the caves, sometimes in a hurry. The same shark (with the deformed lower jaw) can be seen in two different clips, in different caves, so they do return to their shelter quite quickly.
All taken on GoPro 8.
