Thomas & Mom scuba dive on wreck & with sharks!

Reef Tip Shark (Thomas & Jill on right)
   Yes!  We saw sharks!  Thomas & I took advantage of the Grand Bahama Scuba  being down the dock from us, and went on a 2-tank dive yesterday off the southern coast of Grand Bahama Island near Freeport.  The first dive was in an area the tour & dive boats go to see Reef Tip Sharks.  Some groups feed the sharks, so they hang around waiting to be feed.  They do not bother you unless you have food.  This day, 4-5 sharks swam around us for about 15 minutes.  Our depth was only about 35-45 feet.  The 2nd dive was at Papa Doc wreck (same depths).  It was a small boat with some growth.  Thomas swam into the bridge area and I waved at him!  During both dives, we saw a couple large sting rays resting on the bottom, lots of variety of fish, especially Parrotfish.
