About five years ago, I was snorkelling off of the coast of an island in the Bahamas. I had seen many sharks when snorkelling in the Bahamas, but they always seem fairly uninterested in me and swimming lowdown.
This day, however, as we were snorkelling, we saw a shark right up at the surface where we were, swimming directly towards us. She stopped about 2m in front of us and was quite obviously interested in us.
My brain went directly into fear mode, and I’ve never wanted to levitate out of my body more. I had the distinct feeling of being out...
