As soon as my face touched the surface of the water it felt like a brush sweeping across the floor. A massive Sting Ray was just beneath my feet! Finally we start to move, Allen holds on to this rope above us and pulls us along the whole shark tank and back. "Ahh" screamed a girl, I went to go see what was going on & I saw it. A massive female Tiger Shark swimming right passed my very eyes!
30 minutes passed by and it only felt like 10 minutes. We were at our finish. There was one thing that I wanted to do, there were handles at the bottom of the Cage. So I held my breath and under I went.
After we got changed we met up with the rest of the family & swapped places with the others except for Toby who was sadly too short. But that meant that he knows the place off by heart now. There was one thing he loved doing & that was playing this awesome video game about sharks. there also was a cool little park that him and Noah enjoyed.
To wrap things up I'd just like to say thanks for reading my blog. When coming home from Kelly Tarltons I think of how much fun I had hang en with those sharks. I think that I'll remember the time I first swam with the sharks. To wrap things up I'd just like to say thanks for reading my blog. Stay tuned for more adventures.
P.S. Watch out for my next post which is kind of a video!

Something New ( Part 1 )
My family love trying new things. This particular thing is what me and my family has always wanted to do. We're going to Kelly Tarltons for the Shark Cage event! It's when you get to swim with the Sharks! Kelly Tarltons is a giant underground aquarium.
Speed walking was our new best friend, luckily we had this amazing staff member who showed us a short cut. He was very cool. Then we met our instructor for the time, his name was Allen. He got us wet suits for the Cage, and he even gave some of us these cool singlet hood wet suit. There were six of us not including Allen, there was me, my mum, Noah & these three tourists.
Suddenly I hear footsteps running up the stairs, mum is rushing us to get ready for... the Shark Cage. Only a few minutes later we were in the car on our way, we were LATE! Whilst we were in the car we put on water shoes and our togs.
Allen showed us around the place and we even got to see a live sea turtle, Sadly it swallowed some plastic so it's in special care. Then he showed us some cool fish that would pop up out of the water. They thought it was feeding time. We were warned about them biting, and that you would get more hurt with the fish than with the shark.
Finally we get to the Shark Cage. A snorkel was handed to us just before we hopped in the water. The water was chilly & there was Go Pro's that we could use while being in the water.Allen said a lot of rules, if I wrote them all there would be a never ending list. Snorkels on ready to go...
