about 7 years ago (i was 11) I was snorkeling in a very popular bay area of Catalina Island and off to the left about 100 yards away from the beach and everyone else right next to a rocky cliff shoreline were a bunch of sharks.
my brother father and i asked someone on shore if they attack humans (i forget if he said the type of shark) and they said no so we went to swim with them.
when we got back to shore a different person said they do attack humans if we bothered them during mating season, they might have said tiger shark but i am not sure.
I would estimate they were about 5-8 feet long, we were in pretty shallow water right next to the rocky shore in murkey water filled with tons of seaweed almost reaching the surface. i would say maybe 5 sharks
does anyone have a guess at what type of sharks these were based on the information i remember?
its really bothered me not knowing
thanks
