What is it Like to Go Shark Diving in the Bahamas
Although I am adventurous, I am not a thrill-seeker. But somehow, I found myself forty feet below the waters of the Caribbean while 9-feet sharks circled me. I will share with you my experience of shark diving in the Bahamas. A few years ago, I got my kids SCUBA-certified in Maui.
