I love swimming with sharks!  That is the nice sharks that don’t like people for food, like the White TIp Reef Shark.  I was working on the Maui Magic the other day and it was my turn to jump in and tie up the boat at Molokini Crater.  With the visibility well over 100 ft, there are a lot of cool things to check out on the bottom.  Even in 80+ feet of water were our mooring sits.  So I tie up the bow line and grab on so that Captain Buzz can drag me back to the stern mooring, and sure enough, right below me was a beautiful White Tip Reef Shark.  It was following us back, probably curious as to what was going on 80 feet above him.  Jason tossed me the stern line and I turned to swim back to the pin and he was still there, just cruising with me.  After making sure we were secure I started to follow him around and sure enough there were a couple more hanging out under some big boulders.  They were absolutely AMAZING.  I truly never thought that I love snorkeling with sharks…well the harmless ones anyway!
