Answer
The best way to protect yourself against a shark is to study the behavior and gain as much knowledge and experience with sharks as possible. It will soon become apparent that sharks prefer to avoid humans. Many of the Adoptashark.com members are experienced scuba divers and have spent hours in the water with sharks. They suggest the following:
1. Avoid swimming, surfing or surface activitie in close proximity to seals or sea lions in areas where great white sharks are known to roam. There is a small chance you could be mistaken for food by the great white.
2. Do not enter the water if you have an open wound.
3. When we enter the water we are sharing the ocean with animals that make it their home. Always apply common sense and most importantly, respect the shark like you would any other animal in the wild.
