Apparently there are dives that you can do in a cage that is lowered much deeper and I also have heard of people swimming with them without a cage. I think I will give that one a miss. And, yes I think you may be correct, that they may be less dangerous further down. I guess you have to really know what their habits are to know how they will react.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-89565760153752794632014-01-16T11:38:38.826-05:002014-01-16T11:38:38.826-05:00Yes, it is another fantastic memory!

Staying above and taking pictures is great too. like Karyn Lee above, I've swum with string rays in Tahiti and with Dolphins in a few places, but never with sharks, although, there are places I've read about where you can actually swim with them. My understanding is that they are much less dangerous if you're fairly deep into the water. Not sure I'm going to get to that adventure!! Great photos.mps2343https://www.blogger.com/profile/06059253597064329074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-35173283040995282422014-01-15T15:57:06.549-05:002014-01-15T15:57:06.549-05:00Really an amazing adventure!
