The bay slopes gently down as a series of buttresses and sandy ledges, making an ideal playground for trainee divers. For this reason Shark Bay is very popular with local dive schools. Further away from the beach, in either direction, it is not a bad dive site either. torpedo rays are common here, as are stonefish and all kinds of triggerfish. In summer baby barracuda school next to the beach. Because of its shape, Shark Bay acts as a trap for plankton and sometimes in the evenings manta cruise in to feed at the surface. In spite of its name don`t expect sharks. It was once an anchorage for local fishing boats and the name comes from the sharks that were brought up onto the beach to dry. Shark Bay is a very good night dive. The sandy slope beneath the jetty comes alive with small squid and octopus. Further out on the reef are lobsters, snowflake morays, peppered morays and of course clearfin and russell`s lionfish.
