I was on a two day trip on the Great Escape at San Nic and saw on . The first day I had shot a fish and a small blue shark crused by me . The second day of the trip I was first in the water and after swimming about 100 yards I saw a Thresher swim within 20' of me . I swam back to the boat and got out of the water . I asked captain Tim if they were dangerous . He laughed and said you were first in the water werent you ? I said yes . He said thats how I got lucky to see it . He said lets see you saw a blue yesterday and a Thresher today , I am going to have to charge you for a shark dive . I laughed . Any who it startled me . I try to be the fist in the water now and always on the look out . Way cool . dawhale
