Has anyone ever seen reef sharks at Cococay, Bahamas?

This was our 1st stop on our cruise onboard Royal Caribbean's Majesty Of The Seas. This was taken completely by chance!

 

I left Joel at the beach bar & headed towards the water to capture the surrounding beauty. Little did I know, I wasn't ALONE in the water! This was the 2nd shark that came right up to me that day but this was much bigger! I only followed it because I was very brave after a couple Pina Coladas! I am TERRIFIED of sharks so this was a moment I'll NEVER forget! Other beach goers (& their small kids) got in on the chase too! It was the best footage I've ever shot! Hope u enjoy it too! P.S. Thank God he wasn't hungry! :p

 

It was an experience I'll NEVER forget!

 

Just wanted to share my story & ask if anyone ever had any shark encounters while on vacation too?:D

Wow! What an experience. I have been to Coco Cay four times and have never seen a shark. I'm glad to know they are there. Thanks for posting the video here.

 

It truly was unbelievable! Hope I never get that close to any ocean predator ever again! lol!:p

 

Got the video camera ready for our next trip!

 

Let's see what I get on tape this time?...:D

 

 

Stay tuned!:)

 

Thanks for your comments.

I am just concerned how big he will be by the time we get there.:eek: :D

 

I canot believe how calm you were filming that, I would have been out of that water so fast, I don't care how small he was

 

Inside I was really freaking out! :eek:

U can hear it in my voice though.

 

That was the second shark that passed right next to my leg that day so watch out!!!!

 

 

But I don't think they attack unless provoked, if that makes u feel better.

 

Good luck & make sure to have your video camera ready!

 

Can't wait to see what u get on tape! lol!

 

 

Have a great trip!:)
