sharks at 3 mile hillarys

fished inside of the 3 mile off hillays today and was havin some fun on a couple of sambos when my estimated 15+ kg fish was hit by a 3m plus tiger shark. also spotted a couple of abnormaly big bronzies. looks like its not just whites everywhere but the number of sightings and attacks lately are makin me skitish when underwater.

When Iused to dive

And I did this heaps, sharks was the last thing we thought off. Now I am sure its on the mind of evryone ducking out for a dive. Family member is a ComDiver around Cape Town. He just wont dive near seal island, otherwise he dives all around the Cape. Asked him if he would dive here, and he said bugger that, the sharks here are just widespread, and not like seal island at all.
