Has anyone done the shark encounter at Coral World?

Question

I am in my late twenties and wondering if the Shark Encounter is geared towards kids or worthwhile for adults too?

Answer 1

If you have not done a shark dive before then this would be a lot of fun. You get into snorkeling gear with a weight belt and go into shallow pools where they have lemon, blacktip, and nurse sharks. Minimum height is 4'6 and kids are not their main demographic.

It is the best way to see sharks without having a divers cert. My only advice, if you are not in St. Thomas for long (i.e. on a cruise), don't spend all your day at Coral World. Go down and have a look at downtown or Trunk Bay.
