The shadow of what I presume to be the hull of the ship makes this a lot scarier, knowing that there are probably even more sharks coming from the shadow.

As someone who has been offshore on rigs and drill ships, there is no way on earth I’d want to be in the water around any of those things. You can look over the edge and it’s like watching National Geographic. There’s so much wildlife out there, barracuda, shark, jellyfish, and tons of other stuff. We were able to fish for tuna off of one of the drill ships, but rarely ever pulled in one without a huge shark bite out of it. No thank you, not for me.

I’d be interested to know what aquatic life is prevalent around oil rigs. Is it because they are usually in “shallow” water?
