Last July, I had the opportunity to go swimming with some sharks in Haleiwa. After getting over the initial shock of getting into shark infested water (although I was safe in a cage), it was one of the most coolest things I have ever done. You all should try it!
☆ Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip, that started from this tropic port, aboard this tiny ship.
☆ The mate was a mighty sailing man, the skipper brave and sure, five passengers set sail that day, For a three hour tour, a three hour tour.
☆ The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed, if not for the courage of the fearless crew
The Kainani would be lost, the Kainani would be lost. Haha!
☆ Here is the cage and the crew of the boat. A section of the cage did not have any bars and had plexi glass instead. It was neat because it looked as if the sharks could swim right into the cage. It was a little scary because my hands and feet slipped through the bars on several occasions, but I was assured that these sharks were "friendly."
☆ Here is the view from up top. Look at all those sharks!!
☆ Almost time to get it!
☆ Chum in the water to attract the sharks.
☆ These are the beautiful Gallapagos sharks. These sharks have never attacked a human before in the history of shark attacks. Most shark attacks are from Bull sharks, Tiger sharks, and Great Whites. See, I learned stuff on this tour too!! =]
☆ This guy was crazy. He obviously was not afraid and even touched some of the sharks. (See video below.)
☆ A rare sighting of the infamous tiger shark. It was huge! Too bad we weren't in the cage when it came by.
☆ Here is my favorite pic out of the bunch.
☆ Here is the video I took. It's a little dark, but you can kind of see what I saw.
