Very few people are killed by sharks, no more than a couple per year world wide….More people are killed by elephants than sharks in a year…(Substituted in a H.S. science class, showed a shark film over and over and over…) Seriously, normally you can swim with them and you’ll be fine….They get a bad rep….
@Varnes(First post)Believe you’re correct here, but this might be due to the sharks’ preference for the taste of fish, but if it’s been awhile since their last dining experience, they’ll go for a little human flesh if there isn’t a ready supply of fish in the vicinity.
@Varnes(First Post)Considering your work as a substitute in H.S. science, believe you might agree that we vulnerable bipeds owe our continued existence to the fact that many predators really don’t care much for the taste of people meat.If something else is available, they give preference to that being on the menu.
Sharks are naturally curious creatures but with a few exceptions, not normally aggressive towards divers. I have done a lot of diving in my lifetime and been around sharks, barracuda, moray eels etc. As long as you stay alert, you won’t get hurt.Most shark attacks are from Bull sharks, who seem to have a predilection for swimmers.
And those bull sharks can live in fresh water it they want to…..They sometimes come up the Mississippi as far as Minnesota…..As a resident of the Great Lakes, I find that a bit un-nerving, to say the least. Mmmmm……..maybe they’ll eat the jumping catfish!
Actually texting while diving is way less dangerous than texting while driving. While driving there is a very good chance Barry will kill or injure several other people besides himself.

When you swim with the sharks, it’s always a good idea to have an exit plan.

@Linguist@VarnesThe sharks have their own exit plan for the diver via their digestive tracts. Feeding frenzy coming right up. Lunch is served!

@GrainbeltZippy will be down shortly with the taco sauce for the sharks. No meal is complete without taco sauce.

I wonder if it is human meat they don’t care for, or is it wet suits and scuba gear? That stuff could be awfully hard on the digestive tract.

He’s texting a will to his lawyer. Yes, when surrounded by one kind of shark, contact another.
