I was the first in the cage, swam to the far side corner, dipped my head under and through my snorkel, "AGGHHHHHHHHHH." A big, beautiful, fat shark was swimming 2 feet away! I was stoked! I couldn't get enough. Your snorkel gear magnifies your view so it looks and feels as if they are swimming right next to your face. Yes the boat ride is choppy. There is no getting around that so dremamine up (I ate 2 and didn't puke.) Shout out to the crew who took us out and brought us back safely NOAH, COLLIN, & CHRIS (GRIS?). Mahalos boys! Super fun! DO IT!
