Shark Dive at Maui Ocean Center

The Shark Dive at the Maui Ocean Center was easily one of the most unique and amazing things I have done. 22 sharks swimming around us the whole time!!! 1 Tiger stretching to 9 feet and weighing close to 400 pounds, multiple Hammerheads (the biggest was 8 feet and over 300 pounds), Grey Reef sharks, White and Black Tip Reef Sharks, Many rays, and countless fish. There was an Eagle Ray that would eat out of our hands. It actually reminded me of my beagle Rusty because whenever we had food it would stalk us around the tank until we fed it. There was also a HUGE puffer that was so friendly. The sharks were fascinating but not invasive at all. They got a bit curious which was a bit scary but we never really felt in danger. An awesome part of this experience was that when we were in the tank, there were a bunch of children who were fascinated with us and would wave and follow us around. 

Another really cool part of this experience was that we got to spend some time with new friends (Jody and Zach). They are SUCH nice people and we enjoyed all the time we got to spend with them.
