 Well we visited the Dry Tortugas National Park again this year and while snorkeling I made a new friend. I found myself out in the ocean with a 6 foot Nurse Shark.
I always thought I would be scared to death if I ever came upon one in the wild (as opposed to the one in the aquarium), but surprisingly it was an amazing experience!
This shark was very calm and slow moving. However, I am sure if we had bothered it, he would have turned and become more aggressive towards us. We did approach it slowly and it moved to get away from us twice and finally swam out into the open ocean and away from us.
Here are two pictures but there are several more pictures of him in the photo section so check them out! Be sure to leave a comment!
