Re: Shark dive advice? Try to avoid staring directly at the shark. (In my experience, sharks are very aware of a diver's eyes and seem to dislike being stared at as much as you or I do.) Instead, watch it from 'the corner of your eyes'. For your own safety, however, it is important that you do not loose sight of the shark while it is in your immediate vicinity. Remain vigilant for several minutes after the shark has apparently left, to be sure that it has, in fact, gone. During your encounter with a shark, remain motionless - preferably on or near the bottom large or rapid movement on the part of a diver often frightens a shark into fleeing and may startle it into defensive attack. Just be a smart diver then you will be safe,Good Luck Man. |
