Since returning from our first trip to Puerto Plata our friends and nieghbours are filled with questions and even planning visits in 2004. Most have young families and enjoyed seeing the photo's we took and purchased at Ocean World. My daughter's friend Mat who is twelve and a strong swimmer has swamped me with questions about the Shark Encounter.(Budding naturalist!) As this particular encounter was being developed at Ocean World at the time of our visit,(Dec, 2003) our answers to his questions are very limited.
Maybe our good friend Conchman or other DR1'ers could be kind and give us a description of this up coming feature of Ocean World.
The questions most asked were...
Duration of encounter? Types of sharks? Feeding and training of sharks? Did you name the sharks,? and the most important question of all is ..can a twelve year old be part of this experience? (please add any additional information to quench this young boys thirst for information on sharks at Ocean World as he loves Sharks!)
You can bet your bottom dollar Mat and his family are in the advanced stages of planning a trip to the DR..so your help and informative responses would be greatly recieved by all.
Thanks in advance...Toby
