RE: [WE98] Diving with Tiger Sharks || One of the Best Travel Experiences in my Life!

in Weekend Experiences3 years ago (edited)

Hi Sascha, I knew you'd come up with something interesting this week. Thanks for getting involved.

I've not intentionally dived with sharks but here in Australia sharks are a common thing. Most, one doesn't want to meet, but I was snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef a while back and ended up too close for comfort with some reef sharks. They behaved though, and I have all my arms and legs.

People get taken by sharks here all the time and I'd rather not, so I keep my distance generally. 😊

Sort:  

Australia must be a shark paradise as well! It would be exciting to go there some day and visit the great barrier reef!
I indeed heard that surfers and swimmers often get taken, also by tiger sharks. I guess here in the Maldives they have more mercy.

Yeah, Australian sharks aren't always very friendly.
