Swimming with sharks

I went for my first swim with my son at Goseberry Flat, Great Barrier Island on the 31st of Dec 2017. We immediately noticed a lot of eagle rays, at most we might see one eagle ray every 50 meters (at other beaches) but we were seeing at least one every 10 meters here. The rays were also harder to photograph than usual (moving away from us). After a small school of silver trevally joined us we were quite impressed with the sea life at this beach!

We finished our swim and were told by a drone operator on the beach that there was a school of 20 or so hammerhead sharks swimming only meters from us. I went straight back out to look for tham but they had moved on. Here is the drone footage on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/sarah.judkins.12/videos/10156927768523056/
