Description: A completely different reaction results from Grand Bahama's other big animal dive-a swim with sharks. This is a well orchestrated and professionally staffed dive that involves a minimum number of guests, a shark feeder, safety divers and videographer. After the boat is on station, divers enter the water, with the staff wearing protective chain mail suits. From the surface, you can see sharks slowly circling below. Swimming to the bottom, 45 feet down, guests are then arranged in a semicircle, knees on the sand. When everyone has settled into position, the feeder begins pulling fish out of a plastic container. Nearly 20 Caribbean Reef Sharks, some more than eight feet long, swim in circles or figure-eight patterns, with the feeder being the focal point. Amazingly, the sharks pay no direct attention to the other divers, but they do occasionally short-cut through the group, producing dramatic close encounters. The whole experience is unreal, very exciting at first, then a straightforward learning opportunity; one of the most unique diving experiences on the planet.
