The derelict was only a few steps away from the seaside but by taking this picture inside water, I had forgot that this kind of improvised homes usually lodge a varied sea faun. A few seconds after, I noticed a shark fin going straight to me !! I couldn't believe it but I quickly went out of water. The shark followed me so close to the seaside that I could see it almost entierely, before it was took back by a wave; as it was the first time I saw one, I was quite impressed. Pfew ! It was only a small one ( about 1,50 m long ) and local fishermen told me it wouldn't have attacked me, and that it came here just by curiosity, but still, I'm glad do not have taken this risk...
