Sharks Attitude
A sharks attitude can be portrayed by its physical movements and the environment around it, it can also be changed by your actions. For example if you were to slowly slide into the water and be aware you are in the sharks territory and not suddenly flap around you would be 98% safe. But, if you were to dive into the water, thrash around like a wild penguin and scream you would be.. 2% safe. Also, be aware what sharks you are swimming with! If you dive in and look around for the pretty blue sharks but find yourself head on with an aggressive great white your pretty much asking for a death sentence. Also, the fish around you, they will scurry if there is a shark around that is dangerous. Small sharks can cause pain to you aswell, losing limbs does hurt in case you didnt realise. Sharks are capable of loads, but there misunderstood. Your actions cause your pain. Sharks are not harmful, just realise this is there territory and if they dont want you.. leave.
NEVER EVER hand feed sharks, this can be dangerous to you and others, they will be less afraid of humans (yes, they are afraid of you!) and will come closer to shore, causing beach users to be scared.
Now to sharks being afraid.. if you scare the shark it will swish around and attack.. dont scare it, itll be your fault.
Safety In Numbers
Yes, never go shark-seeking alone. Always take more people, but never bunch up, sharks have a tendency for heading for you then. If you want to go in the water alone you will need a shark cage with people on top of the boat waiting for you. Also, if you are getting in the water chain suits are helpful against small sharks.
