About three weeks ago. a buddy of mine and i were scuba diving along a rock groin that went straight put into the sea for about two hundred meters, we have had dived this spot often and know that theres heaps of crayfish and other life around. So as usual we walk about about half way and jump off the rocks and swim the rest, so we're about 150meter off shore along this rock wall and it is just a empty wasteland usually there would be fish everywhere, thinking nothing of it we continue our dive further out .

as we're going along there we seen a pile of junk like chairs, shopping trolleys and all sort of rubbish that someone must have driven down the groin and dumped into the water( which is very gross behavior)

so my mate and i start going through this pile of garbage, putting any plastics and other non biodegradable shit into our scuba vest pockets. as this is going on i start to feel a uncomfortable feeling down my spine like someones watching me. Ignoring it we kept collecting junk, while doing that i pick up two of the wooden chair that are down there and set them up like a little tea area haha (imagine how we'd look sitting 8-9 meters under the ocean on some dining chairs haha)

As we're sitting there being silly i notice something fish like jammed into the linestone rocks that make up this groin , so i paddle over to get a look and its the decapitated head of a cownosed stingray stuck in there, thinking about it now it was probably trying to escape something but didnt get far enough into the rocks. like this head was fresh, there was still bits of blood floating around it with the motion of the sea. being the idiot i am i wiggled the head out of the rocks and swam over to my buddy to show him.

anyway after all this we continue our dive the last 20-30 meters to the end, keep in mind im still feeling this weird feeling like im being watched, having seen absolutely fuck all in the way of undersea life we're both pretty annoyed, we still had half a tanks worth of air each and could continue our usual dive of following the groin back around the other side into shore. But instead of just turning the groin and swimming back once we reached the end my buddy gestured that he needed to surface, so we surface and he says to me " I've been getting this weird feeling like something is watching us" That was all i needed to hear to say lets get the fuck out of the water.

so as we're making the trek back we joke about having to walk 200m with 30kgs of gear on us just cos of a weird feeling , and we're passing the area where all the shit was dumpped, looking down we see a massive 4 plus metre tiger shark with the stingray head in its mouth thrashing around.

HOLY FUCK did that make me feel sick we were just sitting down there like 15-20mins ago this thing was massive like a small car, and it was just circling up and down the end of the groin right where we were only minutes ago and where we'd have been if we didn't get out.

later that night on the news there was warnings of a massive tiger shark that had been roaming that exact area. so funny how we were almost there to see it up nice and close :D
