Shark Avoidance Techniques

Don't be a fish out of water

When in the presence of sharks, it's crucial to maintain a healthy distance. Here are a few tips to keep you from becoming a mid-morning snack.

1. Swim in groups

Sharks are less likely to target a school of fish than a lone, tasty morsel.

2. Avoid shiny objects

Sharks are drawn to anything that sparkles, so leave your diamond-encrusted watch at home.

3. Stay near the surface

Sharks are more likely to target fish that are too deep for their liking.

4. Make a big noise

Sharks are easily startled, just like that one guy at the office.
