Actress Penelope Cruz thinks every woman should experience scuba diving with sharks.

The `Vicky Cristina Barcelona` actress enjoys watching the sea creatures when she goes scuba diving, reports contactmusic.com.

She, however, insists she isn't "crazy" enough to get up close to the biggest and most dangerous of the species out of a contained environment.

Asked what every woman should try at least once, she said: "Scuba diving--with sharks. I've done it in the Caribbean and Brazil. I think they were lemon sharks or reef sharks. If I ever do it with a great white shark, it will be in a cage. I'm not crazy."

She has two children - Leo, three, and Luna, 11 months - with husband Javier Bardem.
