No, but have seen single Galapagos sharks come up from the deep to chase splashing/panicked people taking blue water ocean swims from boats. They didn't bite... actually calmed down, when I was the only one left in the water, staring at them. My remark was based on lots of shark TV, and WEB / photography videos, showing Tiger sharks and others attacking Vid cams, and Flash units. I am a photographer, just trying to be as safe as I can. I expect to have more encounters in the coming season.
@Friedhelm63 - I am planning on going Shark diving in Bahamas but I have real issues with my ears when I go too deep. So I am thinking of just snorkeling...I was just curious about the depth there.
@Incandesent - That will be not a problem. I was snorkeling too and the shaks came close.
Have a lot of fun.
Cheers

Correction... Tiger shark ATE a Vid cam. The guy let him have it.
Certain camcorders and strobes make humming sounds, attract sharks.
Wow, that was great.
Did they damage your lens?

No, they didn't! It was a light bump only...
Have you made similar experiences?
So much for the reputation of being mindless eating machines unlike my teenage kids
How deep is the water where you are?
@truckcompany04 OMNOMNOM where'd all the food go ma?
Where do you live? And are you scuba diver?
No, swallowed the video camera. Ate it.
Left the guy alone, just stopped the camera noise by eating the camera.
@Incandesent
About 11m at max. Why do you ask?
but he didnt actually eat it all, he spit it out.
caribbean reef sharks , why do you ask?
