Swimming with Sharks Experience

Out at sea, my father and I cruised along in our speedboat. We were headed for a coral reef nearby.

When we arrived at our destination, we put on our goggles, air-tanks and flippers. Then we dived into the deep sea to explore the reef below.

The reef was teeming with all sorts of marine life. There were fishes, corals, sea-weeds and many other things to see. Of particular interest was a giant clam. My father and I decided to pause a while to observe the clam.

Suddenly my father saw a very large and mean looking shark swimming nearby. It was not wise to remain in the water with this shark around. So we quickly swam back to our boat.

We climbed aboard, started the engine and left the danger area.
