Cancun Beach
|
"My first experience with seeing a shark was in Cancun, Mexico. We went to a nice beach to try our luck at snorkelling. I grew up at a beach with a no-frills sand bottom,
so the concept of coral reef and scary monsters was unsettling. Oh, and I was about 10 years old, so give a kid a
break.

Cancun Surf

We got done swimming around about 4 feet from shore when these guys started trying to catch a school of
mackerel by corralling the fish with a net from the shore. Well, the fish were smarter than the men, of course,
so they simply jumped over the net to freedom. I was watching this spectacle when one fish jumps up and a big
shark came about a foot out of the water to catch the fish mid-air! The guy standing in chest deep water about
2 feet from the action moved pretty fast for an old guy. The view into the shark's mouth is clear as if it was
yesterday.
