You are entitled to see some unbelievable things while working on an offshore oil rig.
Last week, an oil worker on a rig offshore Louisiana took a footage of hundreds of sharks swimming around the rig in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.
According to Fox 28 , sharks are heading north to Lousiana waters after migrating south for the winter.
Houston’s Chron has quoted a marine biologists and a shark expert who said that it is normal for sharks to swarm around oil rigs as they release organic waste into water.
“There’s a lot of other fish that would eat that [organic waste from the rigs] and it would kick off a feeding frenzy,” Greg Stunz, marine biologist and shark expert at Texas A&M University, Corpus Christi told Chron.
