Shark Details
Swimming in a straight line, occasionally diving but predominately on the surface. Shark two wasn't initially visible. After about 20 minutes shark two appeared, approx 500 metres apart.Shark one was still active.
During this time shark one disappeared leaving shark two visible swimming showing fin and tail. It did look as though it were feeding.
We left whilst it was still active, potentially heading towards the Sound.

Photos

This was shark number 2. About 500 meters away from Shark one further south.They were both about 1k away so size was hard to ascertain. To me this looked smaller.

Shark Two. I included this photograph as it was surfacing and diving, but looked as though it was feeding.

Shark one, looked like the larger of the two. It was visible for longer, looked as though it was feeding.
