This is the closest I've seen a shark. Yes, there was a thick layer of glass between us and I should have been very worried that if the glass broke I would have millions of gallons of water on me and I would drown but I was more worried that the shark might just bite a part of the glass and eat me. Underwater Aquariums are fun only till you walk through a tunnel with sharks overhead.
