    The funny part is you are more likely to be struck by lightning than eaten by a big fish.

    Tell that to those people in the water just feet from what looks like at least 10-foot sharks.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    They really do leave you alone. I was that close to bigger sharks at Sombrero reef. They are everywhere in the ocean. If you ever get a chance to paddle board in the ocean, you'll get an amazing view of what is below.

    The snorkeling vest comes in handy for staying on top of water in shallow water and thus not damaging the underwater life. But we like to go underwater a bit to get closer to what we want to see ,but you need to learn to clear your snorkel

    Johnsons baby shampoo works well as a defogger too. If you see a shark with a square head, get out quickly! It's a Bull Or Tiger and they are way too unpredictable. For the masks, if you only stay on the surface, the top one will work well, if you plan on going down at all, you want the other one.

    Yeah, I have been on the water my entire life. Both for recreation and work.

    Peconic Bay, Long Island Sound, and out into the Atlantic as far as George's Bank and sometimes beyond.

    I appreciate your opinion, but I have seen things that would make me never want to be in the water with the marine life I have witnessed.
