Under the jetty

On the island of Halimatha, Maldives, at dusk, under the jetty, dozens and dozens of nurse sharks gather in search of food. This is due to man's unhealthy habits of eating food in the sea to attract these sharks. This phenomenon has become world famous among divers diving in the Maldives, as it is one of the most spectacular night diving in the world.
