BarbandRon said: Yesterday while snorkelling along Prickly Pear between Saba Rock and the Sand Box I had a close encounter with a 3-4 foot bull shark. I was in about 3 feet of water and it past by me about 6 feet away. Needless to say that ended my snorkelling for the day. I have been diving for 40 years and seeing sea life is amazing. One thing PADI teaches you is the most dangerous animal in the ocean are humans. Go back in the water and enjoy your snorkeling. Shark attacks in the Caribbean are extremely rare. Bridget, remember Monkey Pt. Bridget says to me while snorkeling "look at that cute nurse shark" I say that is not a nurse shark <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />, we continued our snorkel. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />
