I have no problems with people swimming with sharks. I've seen it dozens of times on documentaries. And no, they don't always attack. But from what I got from the news article, the danger wasn't the shark going "human, yum" it was more of an accidental bite in all of their excitement. To be honest, I would love the opportunity to swim with some sharks. I think they are fascinating creatures. Just not when there's over 100 feeding in one area. Too much chance of a mishap there.builder said:Actually the massive shoals of pilchards these sharks are following are a sign of a very healthy ocean, Angie. The sharks are also mostly tiddlers, meaning four or five feet long. They are also so well fed, the only chance of being bit by one is by accident.
Footage yesterday showed surfers paddling straight over feeding sharks, a diver swimming with the sharks filming them, and fisherman catching them.
No major injuries yet.
