Sharks in Jamaica

Somebody keeps coming to my site, with the search inquiry of whether there are many sharks in Jamaica. Rest assured, if you are going to Jamaica you will not be seeing any sharks in their waters. They do have nurse sharks, if you go looking for them – a nurse shark looks like a giant catfish. It does not have sharp teeth, though if you grab one unexpectedly, it might hurt you.

Enjoy your trip to Jamaica. When I asked the same question many years ago, I was told “Jamaica has no wildlife that hurts people, relax Mon!” I don’t know if its true, but it did put me at ease.

About

Eventually, I hope to become incredibly wealthy by generating more traffic than all of the worldwide web combined. But, until such time as I have a product to sell, I will be content to offer my musings, my photographs and my dry wit to brighten the day of anybody who happens to stumble across its content.

I love to scuba dive, and enjoy earning my living somewhere in the northeastern United States. Of course, there is an air of mystery about divers. We dare to go where a lot of other people never really thought about. I am by no means a professional diver or photographer. I’ve dived a week here, and a week there, with here and there being Bonaire, Belize, Jamaica, Cayman Brac, Little Cayman, Cozumel, Hawaii and most recently, the Exumas in the Bahamas.
