Tips to avoid shark attacks!

The following are some tips on how to avoid being attacked by sharks.

• Stay out of the water at night, dusk, or dawn. Sharks are most active at night.
• Swim in a group. Sharks prefer to attack lone victims.
• Keep close to shore. It will be easier for help to reach you in an attack.
• Avoid sandbars and sharp drop-offs where fish congregate.
• Stay out of polluted or murky water.
• Avoid areas being used by fishermen.
• Be wary of feeding birds, or porpoises, which indicate the presence of fish.
• Do not swim if you are bleeding. Sharks can detect tiny amounts of blood.
• Do not wear shiny jewelry; underwater it resembles fish scales.
• Avoid bright swimsuits and uneven tanning. Contrasts attract sharks.
• Do not splash a lot, since it attracts sharks.
• Keep pets out of the water. Erratic movements attract sharks.
• Never try to touch any type of shark.
