SCUBA diving with sand tiger sharks on the wreck of the Aeolus off the coast of the Outer Banks, North Carolina.
The Aeolus is approximately 30 miles offshore, laying in 120 feet of water. The ship was actually torn into three sections by the immense power of Hurricane Fran. Swimming towards the stern of the ship, you can see the different levels or floors exposed. Swimming into a room on one of the upper decks, we found a large number of sand tiger sharks swimming through doorways, down hallways and circling in a large room.
Although sand tiger sharks look fearsome they generally have a very calm demeanor.
