Good stuff. I just did this at the aquarium in Camden, NJ. There was no cage, but we hid behind a man-made reef inside the shark tank. There was a guy there to nudge the sharks away with the pole if they got too close. Very amazing feeling to be in the same waters with these creatures. One of the sandbar sharks was within a foot of my face at one point. What an adrenaline rush!!

If you scuba dive and ever go to the South Pacific, do a shark-feeding dive off Bora Bora with Lemon Sharks. No cage, sharks everywhere. Relatively safe. Mind-blowing!

I really want to do this! Deep sea world in Scotland does shark dives. Apparently the sharks are happy creatures when fed well. A diver told me nobody has ever been hurt by a shark there but some of the small fish have bitten them haha!
