This reminds me of snorkling at Catalina Island.  There's a buoy out about 300 ft from the beach.  After snorkling around through the kelp we decided to swim out to the bouy.  It's kind of fun to be swimming at the surface and watch the bottom slowly sink out of view as we reached the bouy.  Then it's just a 12" chain dropping down into oblivion and thousands of light rays reflecting in the water.  It's at that point that I remember watching shark week on Animal Planet where some guys were towing a surf board behind a boat (with a camera installed in the surf board, pointed down into the water).  Filming great white sharks race up from the depths and attack the board.  Hmmm, I wonder if I look like a surf board or maybe a seal?  .  The swim back to the beach went quicker then the swim out.

It was really cool, but I don't know if I could swim in there with sharks that big.  I know they are the most docile sharks in the ocean but still, it is a shark.  Some of the fish are nearly as big as me.

Jake and I have sat at the bottom just petting the sharks.  Personally I think they get tired of the attention.

I went out there yesterday about 4:00 (site says they close at 4, but it's 3 in the winter).  She was really nice and it was kinda cool.  I never guessed that such a place existed.  She said the water is naturally slightly less salty than the ocean but the fish seem to do alright.  While we were there she threw some food in the water and, among other fish, one of the 8 FOOT NURSE SHARKS came up for a look.  WOW, that thing is huge.  Several awesome looking fish.  She said that if we wanted to come out early one morning (about 7am) we could watch them feed all the fish.  The sharks come right up to the edge and put their noses out of the water kinda "begging" for food.  BTW, you have to call and arange to stop in that early.

Oh, yeah, if you go out, the dogs are harmless but they will run right up to your car as you park.

Adam, Shane H., and I were just there a couple of days ago.

I really wouldn't call it a "big lake".  Maybe a big pond, or a really small lake.

jbera-
Some of us have been there many many times.  I could probably answer all your questions but it would take forever.  I'll post pics later...

yes big lake, naturally as salty as the ocean, filled with fish, some fish (like a dozen french angels) are 18 inches across!!!, fish breeding, 2 sharks that are 5 feet long.... cool stuff.
