Shark Close

Shark Close does what the label says: it puts divers and grey reef sharks in the same modest volume of water. The site, off Alor's northwest coast near Sebanjar, gained its reputation in the years when local boats drew the sharks in close; the practice has faded, but the residents remain, cruising the terraces where the reef shelves toward the strait's deep water. Whitetips rest in the sand cuts, schooling fusiliers and surgeonfish work the slope, and the same cold pulses that power the rest of the Pantar Strait sweep through mid-dive. It is a straightforward, slightly stern dive whose appeal is dependable shark traffic without cages, feeding, or fuss.
