FUN IN THE WATER
There is nothing like playing in the water on the weekends, whether it's ocean water, lake water, river water or tap water...water can be FUN!
Shark Fun
 The Great White Shark is now protected in South Africa, California, South Australia and Tasmania, and although this is only one of almost 400 species of shark, its protection is a step in the right direction. The Great White is the most storied, but the most dangerous might be the TIGER Shark. Several species of Shark live off the coast of Tybee Island, however, it is uncommon for them to come close to shore...mostly you just get the Dolphins....so go take a Dolphin Tour and be happy! Jon Robbins loves the water...the jury is out on Jen Steele, Scott Keith and Charlie Bryan.
