So when model Katarina Zarutskie visited with her boyfriend and his family last month, she was keen to make the most of the beautiful sights.
After a family lunch in an area known as Staniel Cay, Katarina spotted people snorkelling and interacting with a pack of nurse sharks nearby.
Despite concern from her boyfriend's family, she was keen to get into the waters to get some photographs with them.
"From my previous knowledge from surfing and scuba diving, I know nurse sharks are usually very safe," she tells the BBC. "I've seen countless photos of people with them on Instagram."
She says that after a few minutes posing, a local resident on the pier encouraged her to lie back and float in the water.
"At this point people were starting to take photos and right as I lay back, after a few seconds, I was pulled under," she says.
Her boyfriend's father was photographing Katarina at the time, and accidentally caught the whole incident in a series of images.
The shark held her underwater for several seconds before she managed to tear her wrist from its grip.

I might aim somewhere other than the wtist, though...
“So she’s blonde.”
She ain’t no blonde, although plays one in front of the cameras.
Can’t blame the shark. I would bite her too.
... except that’s Mack the Knife...?
Yes, I know it was Bobby Darin’s “Mack”.
My post simply mentioned “Beyond the Sea” as my favorite BD song.
But they do taste good.
I wouldn’t bite her.
I sure would nibble her senseless though.
No they are not safe. In Fl nurse sharks are the usual suspects in bites.
Shark must have very poor eyesight to have bitten her on the arm...Just saying...
