Keanu Miller, under the guillotine, QLD

Don’t be fooled by the apparent tranquility of the above scene. While Keanu Miller and pals were gliding through these transparent tubes at North Stradbroke Island a few days ago, five sharks were frolicking on the inside chasing large bait balls. “This was about a three-hour session where everyone seemed to see the inside of some perfect tunnels,” says Keanu. “After we got out of the water, we went up to the cafe on top of the hill and were greeted by a local who said we had five sharks hanging around us the entire time. We thought we saw a small shark out there, but no one thought five. The locals don’t seem too fazed by this at all though. They get used to it I guess, we on the other hand were a little rattled.”
