How to avoid a shark attack

Remember how to avoid How to Avoid Shark Attack / National Geographic attacks.

Do not swim in river mouths, especially after rains. After the rain, fish often come out of the rivers, which attract predators.
Stay away from fishing boats. There will always be fish remains and blood next to them, so sharks can come to hunt nearby.
Do not swim near fishermen. Although there will be less blood next to one fisherman, the shark may still be interested.
If you have bleeding, do not go into the water. Of course, this applies to dangerous places. But if there are wounds somewhere or even just at this moment you are menstruating, then the smell of blood will attract the attention of sharks. They can smell it even at a distance of 1.5 km!
If you cut yourself in the water, go ashore. In this case, it's not just the sharks, but also that you may need help.
Avoid shoals of fish and seals. Even if the shark had no plans to find a human victim, it is not worth swimming near its hunting grounds.
Stay away from large groups of birds and dolphins. If you see them in the water, they may be feeding at this moment. This means that the predator may well want to fight for their prey. And don't expect that the size of the dolphin will scare away the shark — they also become victims.
Avoid places where fish and meat waste gets into the water. This is practically a ready-made bait that attracts sharks.
Do not go into the water at dusk and at night. At this time, there are fewer people on the beaches, and sharks come in search of fish.
Avoid muddy waters, harbor entrances, canals and steep cliffs. These areas are often visited by predators for the sake of hunting.
Wear a not very flashy swimsuit. Colors like yellow and orange can attract a shark. As well as shiny jewelry that can sparkle and resemble scales.
Behave calmly. Splash less and attract attention, as well as keep overly active pets on the shore.
Find the company. It is better to swim, surf or dive together with other people. Sharks most often attack individuals. In addition, a partner can help.
Don't swim too far from the shore. This distances you from help and makes you easy prey.
If fish or turtles start moving erratically, leave the water. They can behave like this because there is a shark nearby.
Quickly and calmly leave the water if you notice a shark. Do not provoke, chase or lure a shark, even a small one.
If a shark is approaching you, do not attract attention. As long as it does not attack you, you do not need to make sudden movements. She might lose interest. If you have a catch with you, release it and calmly sail away.
If you feel that something is touching you, get out of the water. You need to make sure you haven't been bitten. It sounds like science fiction, but there have been reports that shark bite victims often do not feel pain due to adrenaline.
