But First of all to tell you why Sharks attack . you have to remember that all fish have a very sensitive built in radar and their hearing is 10 times more keen than ours . Scientist have discovered that whales will send sonar waves to one another with low pitched moans over 10 miles away !! and all fish even the shark can hear a boat motor 1 or 2 miles away . To swim with safety you never swim like the people on the beach do splashing and screaming top of your lungs , they can hear it and to them it sounds like wounded fish for dinner ! We snorkel in pairs never alone . Never at sunset or when the sun is coming up , that is feeding time for sharks . Surfers are also attacked because of the sound the rudder in the board makes as the surfer is surfing over the waves , sort of like a rudder to a ship it gives off vibration . when you snorkel , you slip quietly into the shallow water never flipping and splashing but quiet is the key. and never probe or poke fish espically the big ones , they might have a go at you if you tick them off . RESPECT this is their home NOT YOURS. Use your eyes and look around when swimming , you will know if a intruder such as a shark is approaching all the fish will SCATTER !! if you are fearful animals will sense the fear , they smell it , dont snorkel if you are afraid . hope this helps ;) Try snorkling on a charter boat first they are skilled at where the safest places are to snorkel . Sharks are not always the Bad guys :/ amagine if you were around thousands at a beach screaming and yelling splashing , wouldnt you think it was injured fish ? lol Sometimes people are the dumb ones !
