SHARK!!!
By TeenDeja in keywest, teendeja, Uncategorized on August 26 2007After a photo shoot in Key West I went snorkeling a beautiful coral reef. I had been in the water for about 30 min and my photographer had just swam back to the boat to put the camera away, the boat was about 40 or so feet away from coral reef and there was a current that pushes you away from the boat, but it’s swimable, just harder.
While he was back at the boat, I was watching this fish, it was in the deeper part of the coral reef. It was pretty big – like basketball size- and it was peachy with green stomach except his scales were all different colors. I peeked out of the water and called Aron back to come look at it. Well I lost the fish started looking at a little school of fish.
I turned around completly and thats when I saw it – it was probably 10 feet away, maybe a little bit closer, it was swimming along side of me – so it wasn’t coming towards me, just right past me.
It was pretty big, at least 6 feet long – prob a little bigger, it was grey, so it was probably a Coral Reef Shark. I remembered that the boat guy said if we saw any not to panic – so I calmly stuck my head out of the water and saw aron swimming towards me – he had no idea… I said Aron Aron Aron there’s a shark, and I looked down and it was already gone, We swam back to the boat together. But after a couple minutes we went down again, I couldnt stop thinking bout how I didnt know where it went so I decided I was done. It was scary for a couple of minutes and then It was just awing. I wish I would have been brave enough to look at it longer, but i’m just proud that I didn’t freak out!
Okay, well i’m at an airport heading back home, i’ll write more bout my trip, but I just wanted to share my story with you!
