Georgina Harwood wanted to do something special for her 100th birthday — swimming with sharks and skydiving.
On Saturday, Ms. Harwood got into an underwater cage off the coast of South Africa with tours operators. On Monday, her actual birthday, she went skydiving, The Associated Press reported.
“I’m so glad I did it,” the South African said after her shark dive, AP reported.
Fifteen members of Ms. Harwood’s family were on hand to cheer on her skydive attempt Monday. Her first attempt was in 2007 at the age of 92.
