I’ve cage dived with crocs in the Cage of Death at Crocosaurus Cove and lived to tell about it, but the less adventurous can also swim with the crocs. That may sound scary, but rest assured these are only baby salt water crocs- just 1 meter long! Don’t get me wrong they could still snap your finger off, but while you are swimming with the crocs, you are doing it safely. There’s a piece of glass separating you from the crocs.
I thought this was a fantastic idea. I loved watching the crocs underwater, something you don’t get to see very often. It gave me a glimpse into the rarely seen underwater world of the crocs. There’s something cute about a baby croc don’t you think?
