In complete they burned through 194 hours of field contemplate and made 138 plunges. 5 distinct types of shark were experienced in 110 of these plunges and a sum of 292 examples were recorded.
"The recurrence of experiences in Elphinstone Reef is significantly lower than in the other investigation zones. Human nearness was recorded amid every one of the plunges: 134 cases on the aggregate of 138 jumps, with a nearness of a sum of 971 water crafts and 15,601 jumpers. Both the mean number of jumpers and the mean number of vessels recorded for each plunge are higher for Elphinstone Reef than in the other investigation destinations. In Elphinstone Reef the high measure of water crafts is likewise generally dispersed for the whole zone, making it inconceivable for the sharks to keep away from human nearness."
