Our GREY REEF SHARKS by Name
"Tootsie" Male 2005 The upper jaw has been ripped out by a fishing hook, teeth protruding. Tootsie has been seen since 2005 and is very tame and interacts well with feeders and divers. "Tootsie" "Spotty" Female 2006 Called Spotty due to a light black spot on the base of the dorsal fin, she is often seen feeding with confidence. "Bevis"
"Bevis" Male 2006 The edges of the first dorsal fin are ragged and the fin presents a horizontal stripe pattern. One of the first named greys, Bevis is often seen on the site"Lumpy" Female first seen in 2008. Distinguished by two lumps on its right side above its belly. She interacts very well with the feeder and is always a dominant grey who feeds without giving a second thought to its competitors.
"Casey" Female 2008 Apex of the right pectoral fin is slanted backwards. Since first sighted, she has never fed or come even close to the feeder, always keeping her distance. "Curly" Female 2008 The lower lobe of the caudal fin is curled to the left and she is one of the big female greys around. Her name is derived from its curled lower lobe, very selective and cautious when approaching the feeders.
"Liney" Female 2008 A black grayish marking running horizontally on the left side of the stomach above the belly. Unlike other greys, she likes to observe the divers from the distance.
"Lefty" Female 2008 The apex of the left pectoral fin is missing. She is very shy and only feeds when she is amongst other greys.
"Shredder" Female 2008 Three black streak marking running horizontally on the left side of the first dorsal fin. She likes to hover and watch divers from a distance and she rarely come close to the feeder unless she’s really hungry. "Missy" Male 2008 Lower lobe of caudal fin missing. He has a unique relationship with the feeders and grabs the food without changing his speed. This is due to his obvious problem in keeping up propulsion. "Kaya" Female 2009 A rim of white colouration at the tip of the first dorsal fin. Kaya is derived from “Kayak” to which its general outline resembles.
