There were some pics and vids not long ago of a good sized Tiger Shark encountered on a dive off the Indians. Yes there are sharks (surely there are everywhere?!) But no they are not an issue for swimmers or snorkelers in the BVI. We frequently see lemon, nurse and Reef sharks on our snorkels, there are a few good sized ones that frequent Oil Nut Bay. It's a delight to see them and a highlight of the snorkel.

I think Warren and Scurvy's point was more about brevity, conjecture and relevance. But mostly brevity.
