À la dérive

Morsure de requin lors d’une chasse sous-marine à Abaco

Par un après-midi ensoleillé aux Bahamas, mes amis et moi avons mis les voiles pour ce qui devait être une sortie de chasse sous-marine tout à fait routinière. Nous avons mouillé l’ancre au large de la pointe sud isolée d’Abaco, entre Sandy Point et Hole in the Wall, seuls dans cette vaste étendue bleu-vert. En apnée sous la surface, l’eau claire grouillait de mérous, de vivaneaux cuberas et de requins de récif.
