The Earth-Touch film-makers are experienced divers, and don’t use cages to protect themselves.
Ragged-tooth Romeos wait to mate Aug 5 2007
By Graeme Duane, field crew
The dud sardine run has triggered what seems to be a seasonal ragged-tooth shark migration to the south coast of KwaZulu-Natal, where they will mate. In recent weeks, we’ve come across growing numbers of these big sharks, which divers refer to affectionately as “raggies” in the deep caves of Aliwal Shoal, a sandstone ridge teeming with sea life about 5km (3mi) out to sea from the town of Umkomaas.
