Swimming with sharks
by admin
Florida coach Billy Donovan is taking an interesting family vacation to celebrate his 44th birthday.
Rather than making a weekend getaway to his vacation condo in nearby Crescent Beach, Donovan took an 18-hour flight to South Africa.
The mission — to swim with sharks.
Donovan doesn’t watch much TV, but when he does, he’s glued to the Discovery Channel’s Shark Week, which airs each August. He and his 12-year-old son Bryan are shark enthusiasts.
So Donovan’s wife Christine booked the eight-day trip in which Donovan and his son will watch great whites feed on seals off the coast of South Africa. For Donovan, who turns 44 on Saturday, it’s a chance to fulfill a dream while spending some quality time with his family.
The family plans to rent its own boat. Donovan will be submerged in a protective cage while scuba diving for the first time.
Here’s a link to the story with more information on the trip:
