but only for a look for work purposes.
The sharks are in a 10m x 10m enclosure, but they are quite fine. When you go there, you actually snorkel from a shark cage. The sharks are black tip and white tip reef sharks i believe (but I could be wrong).
The set up is pretty good, and the guys running it are experienced and very well educated about the sharks and how to manage them. I am sure they will dispel some myths about sharks when you go there.
He told me one story how one shark had some string stuck in its tooth. it swam around for a few days with it hanging out, and one day when the owner was leaving the shark put its head out of the water so that the owner could go over and remove the string!
Pretty amazing stuff.
give it a shot i say.
