Took an Eastern Carribean cruise last week that stopped at St. Thomas, so you know I decided to go to St. John for the day. I recorded this 7 footer swimming in the middle of the day right by me.

That is so cool! Three things I have not seen at STJ yet and really want to see. An eagle ray, an octopus, and a nurse shark. I am so jealous!

That's a cool video! I don't think I could follow it like that though. I'd hate for it to feel threatened. Question: In the caribbean, is shark activity similar to dolphins & whales? Cuz it seems that there has been more talk of shark sightings on the forum the last couple months (winter months).

Really cool, but I'm afraid I would have had to swim in the other direction. I just don't know if I'd be brave enough

Did you get that close at the end or did you zoom?

Beautiful! Not very often you see them swimming like that.

I was probably around 8 feet away at the end. I've been closer to much scarier things during wreck dives.

Wow, I really enjoyed your underwater video.
I would be going in the opposite direction too but thank you for chasing him down for chickens like me.
