We stayed on Kauai and Oahu, and while on Oahu I just had to visit "Hawaii Shark Adventures." All my life I'd wanted to go down into a shark cage, and I did it!! It was the most exhilarating thing I've ever done in my life, so far. They were Galapagos sharks, about 6-8 feet long. Not really maneaters, but curious enough that they could hurt you if you were in the water without the cage. When I saw them approaching the boat my heart started beating so fast... I couldn't wait to get into the water. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k16/PanClan06/IMG_0638.jpg Under the water they were so graceful and beautiful... http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k16/PanClan06/IMG_0677.jpg http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k16/PanClan06/IMG_0675.jpg http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k16/PanClan06/IMG_0668.jpg http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k16/PanClan06/IMG_0656.jpg We even had a great show of them feeding at the surface... http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k16/PanClan06/IMG_0642.jpg Our tank: 45 gallons 7x Cardinal Tetras 7x Black Neon Tetras 7x Glowlight Tetras 2x Ottos 2x Ghost Shrimp 3x Spotted Corys 3x Panda Corys

They have boats here off Montauk, which is on the furthest east end of Long Island, and up in the Rhode Island/Connecticut area... but the water is too murky for them to guarantee a sighting. If I'm going to pay all that money, I want to see some sharks!! P.S. Thanks on the congrats, Patty.
