Meghan - glad you're enjoying your trip. I am one of the persons who said I've never seen a shark in Culebra (except nurse sharks) - while diving. I don't fish, so I couldn't say that there are no sharks in the deeper channels, and it doesn't surprise me that you would see them while fishing. Think about it - a fish on a line being reeled in is pretty easy prey and chumming the water is certainly an attracting factor. I stand by my statement of no sharks while diving, as I've never seen one on the shallow reefs, but it does surprise me that you saw one so close to Punta Soldado. Are you sure it wasn't a dolphin? They have shark-like dorsal fins and love to play in the wake of boats. Seems like you were with it long enough though to know it was a shark. Very interesting!
Happy Diving!
Debbie
