CORNWALL, UK: File picture of a Basking shark feeding of the Cornish Coastline. Cornwall. Passengers on an ecocruz of the Scottish Hebrides were treated to a rare and beautiful sight last week, a basking shark breaching off the north of Mull, 3-times. The shark first breached in front of the boat, Sula Beag, and on the following two times beside us, in full view of all the passengers. Catching the shark in mid flight is a very rare sight and almost impossible to photograph. There is very little know as to why sharks breach, one theory is that is it part of sexual behaviour. The boats Skipper James says this is a very rare occasion: 'What is usually seen is the splash from where a shark was, but to have all the passengers onboard looking where the shark first breached, to then watch it less than 100 yards away launch itself out of the water was incredible".
