RE: Maldives Trip Day 2 - Shark Encounter
It looks like you've had a fantastic trip. The images and videos of the sharks are stunning. You're definitely right about them looking majestic the way they swim back and forth.
It looks like there were quite a few divers with you. Typically sharks are portrayed as dangerous, but it seems like in this setting, they were docile and you got to enjoy seeing them swim about. Did you have any reservations about swimming with the sharks?
Thanks! Yeah it was an awesome trip. Typically sharks are not dangerous unless they're feeding (which is normally at night) or they've been cornered. I've swum with sharks a lot in the past, I even once got into the shark tank at seaworld in Jakarta (man that was a long time ago) so I don't really have any reservations about swimming with them. As long as you don't antagonise them and give them their space you're fine :)
That's what I've heard. Glad you can confirm. It sounds like you have a long history with sharks. That's pretty neat. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure! thanks for stopping by and commenting :)
