Mature
tiger sharks can live 45-50 years and reach 6-7.5 metres long. They can weigh
more than 900 kilograms.
Tiger Sharks get their name from the vertical stripes found on their bodies. These markings look like ripples of sunlight moving through the water and help them "blend in".

Most
Tiger Sharks seem to be nomadic and cover long distances. One shark tagged in Hawaii was recaptured off the coast of South Africa
Keep low and pay attention.
A Tiger Shark’s teeth make them dangerous to handle. One trick Reef Ninja
uses is to roll them on to their backs. They seem to go to sleep (this is
called tonic immobility).
Tiger Sharks can be unpredictable and divers must be very cautious. It is
easy to believe that the sharks like our company and that they can be trusted.
Mature
sharks have less pronounced strips compared to juveniles.
More people are struck by
lightning than killed by sharks. You should be scuba diving instead of standing
in the rain!
