They’re little sea puppies that are perfectly happy to cruise around while you swim with them. At least that’s the grey nurse sharks we get in aus. The ones you’re describing sound more like wobbegongs or similar. The grey nurses need to be in highly oxygenated water.
Grey nurses also used to have a rep as “man eaters” but that was just because of how they looked,not any actual attacks
I was able to pet a bunch of them and huge stingrays off of Belize while snorkeling. The boat I was on tossed a bunch of chum and then five minutes later we jumped in. They were all so chill with full bellies.
