  • It is amazing that there aren't many more shark attacks everywhere. So many ppl enter the sea & show no caution at all.

    the fish are always so happy to see you as they seem to be smiling.
  • @Zakariah1971
    who gets attacked by a bull shark and then returns back to the exact same location and runs back in to the sea up past your head with NO SHARK PROTECTION? A fool. 👀

    I was nearly eaten by a big tiger shark when I was 16 it snuck up on me while snorkelling, I was on the bottom looking at coral in about 3m of water I needed to come up for air and it was right in front me coming head first and turned when I made eye contact the force of it turning pushed me in the water very scary never been in water since I’m nearly 40

    I was out fishing with my dad, deep sea fishing, and I was sitting on the bow dangling my feet in the water with a drop line between my legs. Unknown to me my dad had been hanging the catch over the side. I am enjoying myself and I hear my dad yell for me to get my feet out of the water there are sharks I look down and there is a big ole shark right there. if he had bitten he would have got me believe me I moved as fast as I could. I wish I knew what kind it was he was probably 6 or 7 ft with what I refer to as a Mackrel-colored back. It scared me. They actually had a feeding frenzy on the fish it was wild and very scary.

    I lived in Gulf Shores for 10 years and caught a 5ft bull shark 🦈 in the canal between GS and Orange Beach! I used to swim in the Gulf but not since I was bumped into by a large unidentified shark! It used to be a hidden paradise now everyone comes here for vacation in the Summer and the beaches are filled with food for the sharks! Still odd that Dolphin Island and Orange Beach doesn’t have near as many shark attacks!

    Watching so many shark docs and attack vids . You see how close they come in so often. Especially those HUGE Great Hammerheads hunting rays literally a foot from shore . But that’s what they do
  • @SamtheMan0508
    I spent my summers swimming in the Atlantic without a care in the world, until I saw Jaws. That was it for me.
  • @tbone3972
    To avoid being attacked by sharks, don’t go to the beach at dawn or get out of the water by evening, these are the time when sharks prey on fish. Surfing is tempting at these time period so surf at your own risk.
  • @endoraismygma
    Dr. Dan is so cool. I love the way he breaks this down intelligently yet understandable to a non doctors.
  • @joeblo5804
    It is my experience that the best time for people to go swimming, surfing or partake in any other type of water sport is in the early morning or at dusk. Also, you do not want to swim in gin clear water and it’s preferable that there is limited visibility, and try to create as much “splashing” and erratic movement as possible. Thank you for your time and reading this post, and I hope it helps. Signed “Bruce” - your well known friend from the film jaws.

    This is why I go further into Florida , destin , Florida the water is crystal clear
  • @katiamontana871
    As a reminder: Every time you enter into the ocean you become part of the food chain…..
  • @johnshields6852
    The shark attack capital of the world is Florida but you have to remember, it's not always greatwhites tigers or bulls, other smaller species can still do allot of damage but generally not life threatening.
  • @MC-qb1jg
    I love it how people say, "We demand answers!" The answer is this Einstein, there are sharks in the ocean. The answer, respect marine life and know you are prey if you go in the ocean. Its not just oil spills, its Asia using the ocean as their landfill.
  • @tommyworles5344
    When humans take from the ocean sometimes the ocean decides to take back.
  • @SandraNelson063
    Anything in, on or around the water is FOOD. That's how sharks have survived for millions of years.
