Shark in Calpe

Saturday 11th of April

During our morning dive in on the Penon de Ifach here in Calpe, Petra and a group of divers found a Thresher shark measuring 4.4m in length dead in 20m, after fighting to bring the dead shark to the surface they then towed it back in to the dive centre for the marine biologists to assess the shark for cause of death, at the moment they have no clear sign of cause of death, the body has been taken to Valencia for research and to make more tests.
