If you have never dove in the ocean you have not been baptized! LOL
I too was terrified of sharks until I dove in Australia and on the first dive experienced some white tip and reef sharks. I was too busy with new equipment etc. to even pay attention until after I was back on board. On the 3rd day I did the shark feed and have loved diving with them ever since.
The Caribbean does not have the massive colorful soft corals that the south pacific does but we have more colorful people.
