I swam with the sharks

By 5:30am, our group of twelve had gathered at the hotel reception at Premier Hotel Cutty Shark Scottburgh, buzzing with excitement as we prepared for shark cage diving 15 minutes’ drive from the hotel, a challenge that promised both thrill and an intimate encounter with nature’s most fearsome predators.

After a hurried change into our swimming gear, we were instructed to leave all personal belongings behind. The only things we truly cared about were our phones; after all, we needed proof that we had swum with the sharks.
