The nurse sharks, some up to 9 feet (about 2.7 m) long, swim beneath snorkellers and some circle around them; others rest on the bottom. Those who prefer can stay on the boat and watch the nurse sharks from above the water, without entering the sea. In the Vaavu atoll, from May to November there tends to be more wind and rain, and the tidal changes and wind bring plankton blooms that attract filter feeders such as manta rays and whale sharks.
