ArubaSalsa, can't wait to see the pixs so I can show my husband. He still teases me that it must have been something else. Anyway, it was a neat experience. Saw them many times in Florida and the Bahamas but never in Aruba.
ARUBA LISA, I know you are a big fan of the Divi Tams. We are Divi members but check out my post under family stuff to see what happened to our 5 yr old there.

Yes, I did see it and did not know what to say. In two visits we had never had, nor seen any of those issues.

Very sad to hear.

hey arubalisa, a question here ?
I know i spoke to you about the Tranquillo, husband unfortunately has bad back, and feels 6 hours is just to long to be out there, so have you heard anything about Red Sail? although i have left a messages and still no call back.

Red Sail is similar to Pelican and De Palm. Not much difference between the three companies.

That was many years ago. Near the old Bushiribana Gold Smelter ruins there is a Boca where they dumped trash into the ocean. While it did attract sharks, the practice was stopped a long time ago. From what I've been told, you can still see some of the cables and pulleys used to dump the trash.

Ok guys here is the shark picture. This was taken like 2 weeks ago at the palm island. The shark is around 3 foot long. The funny thing that happend was that just last Friday we were on the Jolly Pirates and at the antilla shipwreck we saw a shark again. This shark was all the way down so I estimate it around 5 feet long. When I came back on the boat the crew told me that they've seen that same shark before too. He also told me that when they get bigger they leave.

Check out the shark picture that's attached.

Wow! Thanks Reggie!

OMG!

That shark looks scarry!

So the shark only lives in the depalm island?

Just wondering cuase I am SOOOO scared of sharks, and probably won't enjoy swimming in the beaches at aruba if I have the thought of a shark being in the water with me.

Is it ok to rest assured that this is just an out of the blue occurence?
