Have you ever swam with sharks?

Question

If so, what was it like.

Answer 1

Ya, I did it in the Caribbean once.  We weren't even in a cage or anything.  We just did it out in the open. Our guide was just throwing chum everywhere and there were huge sharks brushing up against me.  It was really scary, but I'm so glad I did it.  The make you sit in this weird position so the sharks don't eat you.  The guide said that his company has been doing these tours for 15 years, and no guests have ever been bitten.  It was really scary, but I now for the rest of my life I can say I swam with sharks.

Answer 2

I do not "swim" with them, but I "have" been in the water with them before, several times.

I avoid them as much as possible, because unlike most nin-com-poops out there, I realize that they ARE wild animals, and as such, are unpredictable.  Wild animals are wild animals.  They should be left alone and respected by humans.  Even those experts that dive with sharks are taking their lives in the hands.  They may dive 1,000 times with sharks and not get bitten, but then there's that one time when one of them will get killed.  To me, it's not worth the risk.  If you MUST be in the water with them, be in a shark cage.

Answer 3

I've swam with bull sharks and Tiger sharks, the two most "dangerous" species in the world. It was an amazing experience and on that i would gladly repeat, as long as you are sensible and understand the situation that you are getting into then swimming with sharks can be a relatively safe experience.

Answer 4

No. I fear shark-infested waters.

Answer 5

I have swam with sharks and it was pretty freaky! I brought a small knife with me in case one attacked or something but they weren't like bull sharks or great white or all the other vicious sharks. It was totally scary but fun as! You should totally try it, it's a great experience but just don't get too close!
