We hopped in the water right after breakfast and had a shark swimming around for an entire hour. It was really cool. He even made a charge on the bait from directly below.
After watching the shark on the surface for a bit, we found that the 'cinema cage' would be going down. We volunteered and, after Lawrence had gone down for a few minutes to check things out, hopped in the cage and were lowered down 30' below the center of the boat.
The cinema cage is similar to the ones on the back of the boat, except it has large openings on the sides. It was very different to see the other divers up above us. One shark came around for a single pass to check us out while we were down. Afterwards we spent an hour or two watching the sharks from the surface, which was almost as fun as seeing them from below.
