I actually approached several of my mates with the idea of going diving and they all thought it was a great idea and surprisingly none of them had ever done it. So off we went on one of those scuba diving holidays and I have to say that it was absoulty fantastic.
The Destination
We actually went Maldives diving as we thought this to be a great way to start our diving experiences and boy were we right. There are over 2,000 different species of fish in this area of the world and I am pretty sure we spotted a fair few of them. We also spotted a couple of whale sharks and this is what got me into the whole shark diving mindset.
On Return
When arriving back home I found myself immediately wanting to go back and enjoy all of it again which is why we did 6 months later and then again a year later. I really had wanted to see more by this time and Great White just kept coming into my head. After getting back from yet another trip I put another idea out there, why not try cage diving with great whites?” Some of them thought I was mad and really didn’t want to it and others jumped at the chance.
The Great White
Upon entering the cage I have to say that I was a little nervous, I had always been a little scared of the Great White. The words to decribe that day have never really come into my head. Since then we have returned a couple of times and next year we are hoping to do it without cages!
Something that many people have not heard of when it comes to these creatures is just how timid most of them are, some have even allowed people to touch them and even hold the dorsal fin!
