Just a reminder for anyone interested that Shark Week starts tonight on Discovery. I have no idea what time. Mike insists that I watch the series, he said it will help settle my fears. Oh sure honey..................

A week ago I discovered a 4 ft.nurse shark.It was on the north east side of Oppenheimer.Depth was about 4-5 ft.I recorded the event on my underwater Handycam.At one point I was standing {in sand}3ft. in front of his nose!I wasn't even scared.It was the coolest thing I found on my trip!

I don't know why I torture myself but I've been glued to Discovery and the Shark Week programs. Jr and I viewed Summer of the Shark yesterday

. So now when I get back in the water, the theme from Jaws will be playing on repeat inside my head!

I have been glued to the tube watching Shark Week and now I am feeling a bit nervouse about my up coming trip to STJ. Do Tiger sharks swim in the waters around STJ? Do Lemon Shark's???? The only kinda shark I want to see is a nurse shark.

I actually went on the Stuart's Cove trip, out of the Bahamas (I did not feed the sharks), but I did get in and swim above them for about 1 min. However, I was younger and much braver then.

Here's to Shark Week

I don't think Mike loves me anymore............why does he think I need to be watching this!!!

It's made me downright NERVOUS, where before this I was cautiously "okay" with sharks. As always first class job with Discovery, but I don't care for any of it!

I told him last night that I was OVER IT, and if he didn't get OVER THAT then I'd book us somewhere cold in December.......not STJ! I'm pretty sure I'll get control of the remote tonight

I have been watching some of this and I wasn't scared BEFORE this series and now I am starting to get scared!

I hope that CypressGirl does not watch any of this!

My wife and I saw a nurse shark in the shallows at trunk. It was curled up like a cat on the bottom, not moving. I wasn't scared, but my wife went back to shore... it was neat actualy and I took a couple of pics. I was told all about nurse sharks beforehand so I wasn't worried. But in comparison to those suckers they air on sharkweek, no way would I be out there with those. I don't think there would be a lot of people snorkeling in STJ if there were nasties like those in the water. On that note, my wife saw a huge barracuda in Salt pond (I didn't), and I later learned they're nasty when they wanna be.
