The weather was windy for the first 3 days we were in the Bahamas, and because we weren't certifed we couldn't go out on the deep dives. The weather didn't break totally, but calmed down some. The instructor finally said that we better get it going or we'd probably still be waiting for perfect weather. It was rocky and most felt sick a little, but in we went. My instructor took me by the hand and took me down. Or son Paul, was able to get through the current okay with the other divemaster behind him. It was so amazing down there. I wanted to look at every little thing. Our second dive was at "Shark Junction" and I was a little nervous about this one. This dive, we had a rope on the side of the boat to follow to the tie down, so then we could go down the rope. My instructor again waited for me in the water. As I was following the side rope in the waves beside the boat I was told to look down in the water. HOLY COW, I saw a 6 foot shark. I was suppose to have seen alot of silver fish..thats what he told me he was trying to show me. Funny how I spotted that Shark. All the way down equalizing I kept my eye on the shark. You know, I saw a hugh ray at the bottom before I let go of the rope then I looked for teeth in the sandy bottom. I saw that shark almost a good half of the time down there. Here is the crazy part....I found out later after the dive that there were over 30 other sharks there , but I only saw the one. We saw wrecks, and they were okay, but my head really turned when Is got to check out all the little beings down there. I wanted to see every little thing I could. Paul loved it too and most of all I'm glad we could do this as a family. Thanks for the experience Paul, and Tavi...I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!! Debbielou
