I'm curious, what is the size of this shark?

It was about 1.8 meters (~6 ft), which is the max size for this species. It's a little bit 'fat', so it looks bigger. :)

How do Grey Reef Sharks react to your presence? I assume they try to keep their distance.

Grey Reef Sharks react like many other sharks: first, they swim away. Sometimes they come back, always keeping a certain distance, sometimes they just disappear. In some places they get used to divers, like here in this photo. They slowly swim around you: if you stay quiet, not making noise or too many bubbles, they come closer and closer, for curiosity. If you are relaxed, they relax too. I'm sure they are very sensitive and perceive our emotions, behaving accordingly.

Was this at dusk or dawn? Or were you at depth? If depth, what depth? The light is there, it's just not as bright as it would be at noon, or near the surface.

It was ~10:00 AM at a depth of 35 meters. He was coming up from a wall and I shot as soon as I saw him. After the shot, he went away, too far for a good photo. The light you see is from my strobe. I had a F:8 to increase the depth of field of my 20mm lens with manual focus. They swim very fast!
