A SHARKS TALE

If you’re not a fan of the horror film Jaws then look away now. For these dramatic pictures show a diver getting up close and personal with a SHARK.

The impressive images show the lemon sharks caught between the aquatic and terrestrial worlds Photographer Andrew Murch captured the shots while on an adventurous dive. He has spent nearly two decades swimming with sharks, encountering more than 60 species
