Many people are always going about how bad sharks are as creatures but this is really not the case. There less than 40 of the 300+ species of sharks that have been know to attack humans which is a very small majority indeed. Where on earth does all of this rubbish about sharks wanting to hunt down humans and kill the lot of us actually come from?
Movies
Massive films such as Jaws and Deep Blue Sea have really not helped when it comes to peoples opinions of the creatures. So many people believe what they hear in the news and the news has never really had a liking to sharks that is for certain the chances are if you spot a great white whilst diving that it will not kill you. Unless a shark is either starving or your provoke it then it is very unlikely to come over and try to kill you. Movies also make the shark the bad guy but if you think about it, we are the ones swimming in their ocean!
Water sports
The things that human beings do in the water have increased in popularity over the last few years and sharks will often mistake humans on surfboards and inflatable devices as small seals. The biggest food source for some of the bigger sharks is the seal so confusion is not really their fault.
The Press
Newspapers really have no sympathy at all when it comes to sharks and they are really out to get them because the amount of shark attacks that we see across the world look up.
Reality
Do not worry about being killed if you are off on a trip to see some sharks in action. Tryred sea diving holidays or of courseSharm el sheikh diving if you fancy swimming with the “enemy” or in normal terms, going on one of thosediving holidays.
