Swimming With Sharks!!!

AH! Shark!! I am swimming with sharks! The destination is Grand West Bahamas. The place is really beautiful and there are various types of shark species in the Bahamas. The various shark species are Tiger sharks, Great Hammerhead sharks, Oceanic White Tip sharks, Bull sharks, Lemon sharks, Caribbean Reef sharks, and Nurse sharks.

I would not like to swim with sharks, but the ocean is so beautiful to look at. So, it isn’t really that bad. 

But personally, I think sharks are scary. Sharks are scary with their many teeth and pointed fins. Sharks can attack you anytime without you knowing and can hurt you really badly. 

Sharks are also worth a lot of money when they are alive but the body parts of the shark are worth a lot of money too...$1.2 million a year worldwide. And it's possible they're worth more. But if it's just their fins, then sharks can be worth $10,000 to $20,000 for a fin. A shark tooth in good condition is worth $200 to $250.
