How to stay safe from sharks

According to Sharkspotters, white sharks will usually target prey that is alone, so it is best to stay in a group. Predatory sharks will also usually see the difference between a person and prey, so it is best to avoid dark and murky water, as they will sense any movement and assume it is potential prey.

If one encounters a shark like the man in the video, it is best to remain calm. Splashing and random movement will often attract sharks as they will think it is prey that has been injured and is an easy catch. It is also best to use anything to create a barrier between your body and a shark. Finally, one must leave the water as quietly as possible by swimming smoothly when exiting the water and then alerting any lifeguards or shark spotters.
