Yea, the one in the black and yellow wetsuit, that's me...

I know, I know. I have been doing quite a few "Lifestyle" posts instead of fitness or food posts. But there is just so much going on right now that I want to share. One of the most fun, and most recent, things is shark diving in the Bahamas. We went through Stuart's Cove and had an incredible experience. There were two dives, both in the same location- a sunken ship about 20-minutes off the coast of Nassau.

It was crazy. I so wish I had pictures from before we got into the water on the first dive, but fins, wet suits, and a giant tank do limit picture mobility a bit. If I had gotten a picture, you would see sharks circling our boat while we were jumping in. As I said, crazy.

One of the coolest experiences ever was the beginning of the second dive. We were on the bottom, waiting for the shark feeder to come down and I was able to look up towards the surface. When I did, all I saw was about 10-15 sharks circling about 20-feet above me. It was incredible. Those experiences that bring such calm when they should bring fear are some of the best experiences ever!  

All the sharks were reef sharks between 6-10 feet. The first dive had a couple, but the second dive is where they really came out. This totally makes sense considering that the sharks got fed during the second dive. We were able to take our GoPro's with us, so there will be some videos on the blog sometime in August (hopefully). Until then, Enjoy these pics!
