Waterguy - you think the guy petting it is stupid? You might just find me in the water snapping pictures....!

Crazier than Tracy??

Yes, I believe we have found someone crazier than "our Tracy".

You were brave - this person is a lunatic! Pet a shark WHILE it is feeding. Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

Whereas - you were just being a "spirited observer" - yes - that sounds about right??!!??

Come to think of it - maybe "You and the Hand-person" are related??!!??

I don't know what kind of shark that is, but I sure hope I don't see it or any of its kin when I am on St. John! I would definitely freak out, start screaming and flailing, and end up as shark lunch.

And as for the person petting the shark...heck, I won't even pet the dolphins at Sea World!

I would also be shark bait if ever I saw one while I was in the H2O. I watch ALOT of Discovery Channel Shark programs and those don't look like what they say Tiger sharks should look like...to me. I am just SICK about this shark talk. I am going in may and have brainwashed myself into thinking there are very few of them in these waters. :shock: That only Nurse sharks and docile sharks are there. This is making it tough for me to look forward to snorkling on vaca! LOL! I can't share this with anyone in my group or there WON'T be any one in the water.OF course if I didn't read the posts I guess I would be fine but it's like waving a giant candy bar in front of a two year old. I just can't seem to stay away from them. :wink:

I am right there with you 1 of 4. I have brainwashed myself also. I get freaked out sometimes when I snorkel and this pic did not help! It really is cool though.
Jorge- 72 more days!!!!!

Anyone else notice the little kids sitting in the front of the boat?

As a kid, I totally would have loved to see this.

As an adult/parent, I don't want to think about sharks.

I have read on a BVI forum, that it was towed away from the Rhone.

And that it likely was a Bull Shark.

It was on the Rhone, and according to Bluewater Divers the sharks were reef sharks.

Reef sharks sounds better than bull sharks.

I am looking forward to dive at the Rhone in May, so I rather see reef sharks if I can chose between those two.

But this feast took place in October, so no need to worry about that anymore.
