We got on the boat, drove out, and went to shark ray alley. And surprisingly enough, I was the first one who jumped in. My mom and my siblings were turned around. And I had already jumped in the water snorkeling, and they are, oh my gosh.”

Simone calls her, acting crazy, saying, “We gotta get in because I was just so fast. They chummed the water, throwing over fish and stuff, and all the sharks were attracted.
