The shark circled us slowly. The dark water of the night dive made the detail of the beast hard to see but there was no doubt of its size. It was a gray reef shark all right, a big one. I reached up for the 5 meter bar floating above me and looked down to Cesca. She had not yet seen the shark. I turned my torch on and its beam highlighted the gloom as well as the millions of floating particles all around us. It was like seeing through a snow storm. I swung it towards the sharks shape.
