SO there I was in the depths of the Caribbean Sea with the world's biggest shark heading straight for me.
Frozen with fear, the only sound I could hear was my heart beating along to John Williams' Jaws theme.
Dum, dum . . .
There was no escaping the 36ft beast, its giant mouth wide open ready to gobble up anything in its path.
Dum, dum . . .
But there was no girlie scream or calls for a bigger boat.
Because the mammoth creature was in fact a whale shark, which only eats algae, plankton and other tiny sea creatures - a kind of veggie monster.
One of nature's most spectacular wonders, it was oblivious to little me swimming alongside it.
