My aunt and her scuba-dive-loving husband visited Cuba late last year and were able to schedule a series of dives. Among them–swimming with the sharks. Clearly they are both more fearless than I. But the pictures my uncle captured with his camera were amazing.
I Don't Get It 
What a cool experience! I would love, love, love to swim with sharks but I am afraid of the scuba gear because I get claustrophobic.

Having your skin shredded apart by shark teeth is less frightening than claustrophobia?

I know. Crazy, right? Maybe if I got to the point where I thought I could put on the scuba gear and master the circular breathing then a new fear would emerge but for now that is my fear, not the sharks or their teeth. I have always been fascinated by sharks so I would love to have a close encounter with them.

You are a brave woman. I would be equally scared of both. All I would do is snorkel with the fish and stay safe.

Beautiful shots. However I don’t “do” water sports;and if I did I am sure giant carnivorous fish would not be part of it.

The self-preservation instinct in you and me is much different than theirs for sure.

Cool post, I was fortunate enough to be able to visit the Jardines do la Reina with my boyfriend in Cuba for some scuba diving in August 2012. We were on a people to people trip from the India and spend some time in Havana then we were aboard the Avalon II for some scuba diving!! It was a chance to see firsthand the health of the reef and fish life in this area. We were able to learn from fish experts and marine biologists about this important protected marine park. There are many shark!!! Most of the Caribbean, shark sightings are rare but here it is an almost every dive event! It really speaks to how well they have protected the entire area
