Additional comments:
First sighting in nearly one year. Shark was very inquisitive and circled within touching range several times. It seemed to target our bubbles. May have been feeding as the area was where current produced some upwelling.

Area spotted was in 5m of water at the top of a reef that drops to around 40m plus.
