“I was snorkeling off of a reefy outcrop on a pretty desolate beach in the Turks and Caicos,”he said. ”I swam out past some waves breaking and approached the rock cliffs. After snorkeling around for a bit I saw an area that had waves breaking across a low point in the reef cliffs,so there was a lot of bubbles and turbulence making it hard to see. I wanted to dive underneath the bubbles to get a view of what was on the bottom so I took a deep breath and dove. The only thing I remember is briefly seeing the bottom and thinking it was cool. The next second felt like someone took a baseball bat and whacked me on the shoulder. I turned around thinking I ran into a rock but saw no rock and felt nothing with my hands. The next thought that crossed my mind (only because I watch hours of Shark Week) was ‘This is what shark bites supposedly feel like’.”
