Swimming with sharks?

I'm slowly saving up for this and will definitely do it next year - http://sharkdives.blueplanetaquarium.com/

I "swam" with white tip sharks in Costa Rica.

I certified Padi Open Water there, and where this particular dive centre takes it's students for the Open Water section is often visited by some quite inquisitive sharks.
They take students there all the time so the sharks must be used to the disturbances.

Swan with nurse sharks & stingrays off the coast of Belize, were just told to make fists (don't make your fingers look like the chunks of fish they threw in basically)

Was awesome, would love to do it again!

This would scare the life out of me. Never have dived and I don't think I actually could. Snorkelling was good though but even then when some wee fishys appear from nowhere it is scary! I must be a big blouse!

Swam with a few on the Great Barrier Reef, only small ones though.
The one in the photo is about 1-1.5m

Not really in to this cage diving with the great whites. According to some people it is quite cruel

I went swimming with a mate who's a solicitor. Does that count ?

It does if you came back with your wallet intact.

I've seen several reef sharks when scuba diving in Australia and SE Asia. Once whilst diving in Malaysia we were circled by about 10 of them whilst descending but luckily we weren't on their menu that day!

When you see it...

seen a docu on that place its one of the most crowded ws places in world nearest to humans i think.

there are a lot of cayak people who do that near there and most are juvenile whites.

the island is like right next to the beach and they patrol every day but very rarely is there any attacks there.on humans.

I'd love to dive with sharks!!! I went to Cape Verdé earlier this year and went in the water with Lemon sharks swimming around. Got to about 50ft from them but wanted to get closer
