Are there sharks in waters near PV? DEADLY SHARKS?

What about crazy insects? I want to see some giant spiders and stuff.


I am just curious if it's safe to swim in the waters?
thanks!

Never heard of a shark attack in the last 25 years. Not many Giant insects, it's the small biting ones that I don't like. If you go out of the town watch out for scorpions.

The only sharks that we have here in Puerto Vallarta have two legs and stand in a timeshare booth.

hee hee hee pt. so true. The only weird bug I saw was a praying Mantis, which probably isn't strange to anyboy cept us way up here in the Great White North.
I was very taken with the variety of reptiles, iguanas, gecko's and white cobras!

Actually the "Sharks" in PV do offer an advantage over traditional fishing...only bait required is a valid credit card!
