Sharks - There are a ton of shark around the island. I know swimmers who have barely escaped and a spear fisherman who had they catch stolen. Just talk to the local fisherman. They will tell you all about the sharks. When i was there they caught a 13ft Tiger Shark and a 9-10 Bull shark. Now you know why many of the locals don't swim.

St. Kitt's - You guys are full of it. There has never been a recorded shark attack on St. Kitt's and Nevis. A man was found inside a dead bull shark, but the authorities believe that he was dead prior to the feeding. Probably the outcome of gang violence. There have only been 6 recorded shark attacks in the caribbean alone since 1997 while there has been over 90 in North America.
