Please read before commenting. I patiently sat still for many hours waiting for these juvenile Lemon sharks to come closer and interact with me. When they eventually came over, the slightest movement from me would scare them off. After circling me for ages they would eventually come closer and occasionally head butt me or whack me with their tails and on one occasion actually tried to test bite me to see if I was food. (I literally lost a hair follicle and that is all. It was not a successful or aggressive bite) Once they realised that I am not food or a threat they would come in closer and search for the source of the fish scent that is coming from a small piece of fish placed inside a perorated water bottle, then eventually a loose piece of fish placed directly in front of me. What is interesting is that if picked up the bottle or the piece of fish the sharks would stay away. (In fact any movement from my arms would deter them) It was also interesting to see how much difficulty they had in pin pointing the exact location of the fish. The adult reef sharks I work with would zero in on a piece of fish instantly. As youngsters maybe they still need some practice. The reason that I am doing this is that I have not seen juvenile Lemon sharks in this area before and I really want to know them better and study them for my own personal knowledge. There are 4 individuals but only 2 or 3 come over at any one time. One has some marking/damage to the snout (The young female one that bit me) and she is my favorite. :) I could just sit here for hours watching these beautiful creatures swimming and interacting with me. find them truly beautiful and mesmerizing. I have condensed some of the action into this clip but the reality is that most of the time they would just gently swim around me in a calm and relaxed fashion. Without the fish bait in the bottle they would simply stay away. I tried. They are very shy and hesitant creatures. This is not on a reef or in the ocean but an inland ocean hole surrounded by mangroves in a creek. I spend a lot of time with sharks so please do not attempt this yourself. Obviously I would not do this with adult lemon sharks! I am probably the first human they have seen.

Filmed and edited by Juan Iribarren Dive Operator: Horizon Divers (www.horizondivers.com) Special thanks to Ashlee Zoe (@letsdive84) Divemaster and guide of the exploration. THE DIVES: Total bottom time 140 min / Nitrox 31. Water temperature 85F, mild-moderate currents average depth 75-105 feet, great visibility. The wreck is in excellent shape, with rich marine life, tons of opportunities for penetration explorations. Overall one of the best dives you can do worldwide. Advanced certification required, nitrox recommended. USS Spiegel Grove (LSD-32) was a Thomaston-class dock landing ship of the United States Navy. She was named for Spiegel Grove, the home and estate in Fremont, Ohio of Rutherford B. Hayes, the 19th President of the United States. On 9 January 1957, Spiegel Grove, with other ships of Transport Amphibious Squadron 4 (TransPhibron 4) sailed off North Carolina with elements of the 6th Marines embarked, for a tour with the 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean. In April 1961 she took part of "Solant Amity II" with Task Force 88. She participated in "Operation Steel Pike I" off Spain in October 1964 and made a midshipman cruise to England and Denmark in 1970. On 22 July 1974, she participated in the evacuation of American citizens from Cyprus along with several other ships of the U.S. Sixth Fleet, and again in 1976, this time in Lebanon, during "Operation Fluid Drive". Additionally USS Spiegel Grove operated with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit in Eastern Wind in August 1987 in the area of Geesalay, Somalia. She was purposefully sank on 17 May 2002
