Swimming with Sharks
While on Bora Bora we took an excursion to swim with sharks and stingrays. Although we were well out away from shore, we were still within the barrier reef, and the water was shallow enough to stand up in. Numerous blacktip reef sharks and large stingrays, knowing we were there to feed them, clustered around us in the water. They are about 5 feet long and are very docile and timid. They eat primarily small fish and crustaceans, and occasionally sea birds. Bites to humans are very uncommon, and usually by accident.
That Canon D10 is a great little underwater camera, by the way, if anyone's looking.
(Sorry Toby, I just had to put this one in for you!)
