Sharks are a member of a large group of active, predatory, cartilaginous fish. Types of sharks include nurse sharks, black tip sharks, hammerhead sharks and leopard sharks. Although there are sharks living within the waters around the Virgin Islands the likelihood of you seeing one is rare. On reef dives and sometimes while snorkeling it is possible to see nurse sharks; most other sharks avoid reefs during the day. Many shark species are shy but occasional attacks do occur. Over the past century only 4 shark attacks have been reported in Virgin Islands waters
