Lemons in the moonlight!
“I was in the right place at the right time when these #LemonSharks crisscrossed just below me. It is both intimidating and surreal to freedive with groups of lemons, each of which can reach lengths up to 10 feet (3 meters)!

Lemon sharks get their name because of the tint of their skin, which helps  them camouflage into the sandy bottoms. These sharks gather in larger numbers in southern Florida during the winter months for what is believed to be a major spawning event.”

#SharkWeek continues TONIGHT at 8p on Discovery!
