These photos are from what was probably my most exciting encounter in Sharm. I was guiding a group of relatively inexperienced divers at the Dunraven, when we bumped into this guy. He's a 2.5m long Oceanic White Tip. He swam around the wreck in fairly strong currents like he owned the place, totally fearless of us unlike most sharks. He even came up behind a woman lagging back from the rest of the group and gave her a sniff. She didn't see it luckily, but it scared me!
He was occasionally passing well within touching distance (although I didn't try!)
Luckily I had my camera in my BCD, and managed to shoot off a few photos while trying to keep the group together. Unusually he kept making it hard for me by coming so close I just had one fin at a time in the viewfinder.
