Diver's Notes

Shark dive!

This was about 50 minute boat ride each way.

We had to stand against coral at first and let the sharks come (we also watched the DM pet a grouper and a moray eel). We then swam with them for about 5 minutes--within feet of them. I counted about 10 mature and 1 juvenile Caribbean Reef sharks. Afterwards, the DM set down a bucket of chum and watched them whip into a frenzy.

The currents and surge were brutal--we had to descend and ascend back up along the boat on a mooring line. The waves were 5-6 ft.
