I swam next to a baracuda and it was astonishing to see it just stay still but as soon as I got my net to capture it , it ran as fast as a bullet.
As I have said earlier, I snorkel all around the island for all sorts of fish for our aquarium and thank God I never ran into a shark  . I would love to swim with a turtle but not yet have I. A dolphin yes and that was exciting. If any of you are interested in snorkeling in afternoon to net fish let me know, I could use the help. It is relaxing and an underwater adventure..... |
We saw a two foot or so shark when snorkeling off of DePalm Island last year, didn't get a great look to tell the species. Most of the barracuda I've seen were in that area as well. Mostly at the Jane Sea wreck or at the fingers. I really wish I had gone on the other dive boat a year and a half ago so I could have seen the whale shark. One of the few types of large shark that I would actually like to see.
