My roommate shot 8 rolls of underwater footage which I think will be interesting. We saw TONS of sharks - and I think he got lots of pictures of that. It's amazing that these sharks will actually pass within 3 feet of you without taking a bite...

We saw one 12 to 14 foot hammerhead which apparently is quite rare to see. Everyone wanted to give it a very wide berth. The hammerhead was at about 100 feet so perhaps they stay within the deeper sections of the ocean.

The most memorable dive of the entire trip was when we went the deepest to 107 feet and the group swam through an underwater opening in the reef. When three of us came out the other side we stopped to take pictures of each other. I turned to look back at the opening we'd come through and a shark had apparently followed us through because suddenly there was a shark circling the bottom and the only way for him to have gotten there was through the hole....

Have you seen "Open Water"?

Sounds like a fun trip! I could only see the thumbnails of the photos but they look great - clear blue water, sandy beaches, and boats!

I did some snorkeling a few years ago and had a close encounter with a barracuda - that was enough excitement for me!

I have not seen open water. People on the boat were talking about it. They took roll call after every dive so that all of the people were accounted for.
