      Oh its amazing. The first time I did it I thought I would be scared, because they get so much bad press don’t they! But when I actually saw them I wasn’t scared at all, I think because they were just so beautiful to watch. And they are not aggressive at all, in fact they are a bit shy, so often they swim away from you if you get too close! (Of course there are some that might be aggressive – but its better to stay close to a coral reef if they are around, then you are safer)
      I also think I felt ok because I was underwater with them, so I was in their element. I would NOT like to see one if I was swimming on the surface, that would not feel ok at all! But underwater its ok. They are awesome, fascinating and amazing to watch.
