Shark Valley Dive in Tahiti - The big boys are coming out to play!

As a new diver - I was really excited about diving in Tahiti. The dive master provided the instructions in both French and English. As he was difficult to understand - I heard the part about we would see sharks. We had seen sharks in Australia on the Great Barrier Reef. They were small and supposedly harmless.
The story became completely clear when sitting on the bottom of the ocean floor at about 40 feet deep and I see one of the Top Dive divers connect a cage with a line from the boat. Then the sharks started appearing! Lots and lots of sharks!
 
I was really calm - it was a little late to do anything else.  The really scary part was that we had to swim up to the boat through all the sharks!  This experience has to rate near the top for adventure for me!!
