SHARKS! Yap, Micronesia

We saw a lot of reef sharks on the today’s dive they would just circle around us as if they were checking us out. It’s a shame that sharks get such a bad rap. They really aren’t those dangerous mean and IMG_0859scary creatures that Jaws made them out to be. Especially reef sharks. These are the same type of sharks that you hear about when someone is bit in Florida. The bites aren’t usually life threatening because the reef shark is just cruising the coast with its mouth open while feeding when they bump into a swimmer.

IMG_0839After coming up empty on our search for the Manta Rays we decided to go for the sure thing, and that is the spot where the sharks hang out. We spent an hour just sitting on the ocean floor watching these black tip reef sharks as they swam around us. No I never felt in danger at all during yapthis dive. As I’ve said many times in the past these sharks are like puppy dogs very sweet and cute, but not cuddly.
