Hi All:
Last summer I spent a wonderful 10 days in Grand Bahama. We enjoyed snorkeling off the beach a great deal, almost as much as the scuba diving. We're going back in August, and are interested in the idea of night snorkeling to do some photography, lobster hunting, and general sightseeing.
I understand that sharks tend to come in to shallow water to hunt at night. Something we need to be concerned about? A lot of web sites just say "Don't snorkel at night" but don't give an idea of the increase in risk.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Jason
