dangerous experience I have ever had.
On the morning of the excursion,I met with my friends for breakfast,with little conversation.I supposed
we were nervous about the day ahead of us.The coach then drove us from Cape Town to Dyer Island in
Gansbaii.
As soon as we got to our destination,we were quickly pushed into a boat.About 2 hours into the boat
we spotted our first shark.It was one of the world"s deadliest predators(食肉动物)-a Great White shark
Our guide told us that we had to get into the water immediately.Without any formal preparation or
instruction,we put our thick wet suits on and jumped into the iron cage.
There I was in this tiny cage with 3 Great White sharks circling around me.I tried desperately to take
pictures with my underwater camera,not letting my hands and feet drift(漂)out of the cage.
When I took a breath,life above the water seemed chaotic(混乱的)．But,I would drop back under
the water and life would seem to stop existing.And the sharks that always appeared frightening on TV or
in photographs actually appeared peaceful in person.
After an hour,I decided it was probably time for me to get out once the sharks started to become
really aggressive.I waited until the very last second I could,since I knew I would probably never do this
again.
