20 Ways to Avoid Shark Attacks from the Discovery Channel
- Steer clear of dolphins and sea birds. They may not only attract sharks but also often seek the same prey.
- Skip swimming after heavy rains, which may move some freshwater fish, including sharks, into areas they would not otherwise frequent.
- Sharks sometimes get stuck in small bays and lagoons during low tide, so be careful when swimming in such areas during these times.
- Avoid diving from boats but, if you must, refrain from doing so at night and be sure to carefully scan the surrounding water beforehand.
- Some sharks are very small and resemble tropical fish. Avoid touching fish around you, as you could find your hand in a tiny, yet well-toothed, mouth.
