First Shark Dive

From Bimini

Here is a link (click the picture) to the video from the shark dive/snorkel we did yesterday. It was unbelievable as you will see from the video. Sorry the video is unedited but you will see how close we were in the water to the sharks. If the sharks got too close, we were told to kick them to fend them off, but most of the time before the fin actually hit them they felt the difference in water pressure from the fin and skirtted away. At one point (may or may not be on the video) they got really close because when the director was throwing a chunk of bait into the water his hand hit the T-top on the boat causing the bait to fall short......right in front of us.

We had a series of other classes yesterday as well and started the once a month long line. I was part of the group that had to go out and check the 5 long lines at 1am. We caught two blacktip reef sharks and so far are the only group to catch sny sharks. I am going back out at 10 to check the lines again. So long for now....
