2-24 SS Rhett 5

  In the final chapter of our story, the 2 scuba divers who had narrowly escaped a monster bull shark that was circling them in just the same way that we always see on TV and in the movies,  and who had opened and slammed his jaws right next to them, finally made it out of the water and into the boat. “When we hit the deck of that boat,  we both looked around and saw her and she looked like a submarine. She had stayed on the surface for a few minutes swimming around the boat. As the waves were crashing across her body, her head would be in the crest of one wave while her tail was in the crest of another wave. The whole trough would lift her body up out of the water and you could see her gills, her fins and her face sometimes. The toughest things to this whole ordeal was that we each knew that one of us would have to face family and loved ones and tell them that we were very sorry because the other person got attacked by this giant shark and is no longer with us. When we actually got into the boat and realized that it was over, that we had both made it and had not been bitten or shredded in any way, we sat on the deck of the boat with tears streaming out of our eyes and with our hands folded on the deck, on our knees, we repeated over and over, thank you God, thank you God because we felt there was divine intervention that saved us. There was no other way to describe this unbelievable experience.”
