Scuba With Bill

Basking sharks have been spotted swimming along the Cornish coast, attracted by the warmer seas.

Also known as the bone shark, they are the second largest fish after the whale shark and can reach a massive 36 feet in length.

But swimmers can stay in the water, as the sharks only feast on tiny marine animals and it is rare that they come so close to the shore.
