We were snorkeling at Francis last Wed. and we
saw this shark. We think it is a Lemon Shark, but
not really sure . It was about 8 ft. long.

Looks like a nurse, but am unsure. We did see a manta ray today from the beach while hiking to Brown Bay. Cool! It was HUGE!!

Cptn, I've had the pleasure of meeting other species of sharks but NEVER a SINGLE nurse. Boohoo. I always look for one. Of course, if I look for something, I'll end up not finding it. The good stuff usually comes as a surprise.

Brenda, that's a nurse also. See, everyone has seen one except me.

Pickle,

I hope with ALL MY HEART that you see a shark instead of me when we go next month. You can have my turn...REALLY!

Thanks for letting me know. I thought it was a nurse shark ,but my husband thought it was a Lemon Shark.
Whichever it was it scared the mess out of me.
