Comments on: Shark Petting and the Light Blue Sea: Belize’s Hol Chan Reserve http://www.travelswithtwo.com/2009/12/02/hol-chan-marine-reserve-belize-snorkeling/ The travel blog for couples - Written by Melanie Waldman Thu, 02 Feb 2012 13:57:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Melanie http://www.travelswithtwo.com/2009/12/02/hol-chan-marine-reserve-belize-snorkeling/#comment-3481 Melanie Tue, 08 Dec 2009 01:25:05 +0000 http://www.travelswithtwo.com/?p=6767#comment-3481 It was amazing...and curiously, a relief.

After my experience in Hol Chan, I have to say I'm now a bonafide shark fan. While I don't foresee going for a swim-up snuggle with a bull shark or a Great White anytime soon, I now feel especially committed to protecting ocean and sea habitats for all sharks. For starters, I'm getting my Cousteau Society membership: http://www.cousteau.org/membership It was amazing…and curiously, a relief.
