The story

A week on the island where you truly breathe the Caribbean atmosphere of the pirates. If only it hadn't rained the whole week.... Still, the dives were wonderful, especially the ones with the grey sharks (Carcharhinus perezi). We counted about fifteen of them. The dive centre that handles the dives and the "shark feeding" (still legal here) is Diving Waihuka Adventure, located at Dive Cove. Two dives done: the first (open to Open Water divers too) and the second (only for Advanced certification and above) which also lets you swim among the sharks, once they've finished eating... The hotel is the Henry Morgan (they say the best on the island).
