Always nice to know â€¦

Do not go in the water at dawn or dusk; everything is in the sharkâ€™s favor. Shark attacks around midday are very rare.
Avoid large groups of seals or sea lions, or if you see these creatures on the beach or near the shoreline, beware.
If you are bleeding, including menstruating, stay out of the water.
Stay clear of fishing boats.
The murkier the water, the easier it is for a shark to sense you without your seeing the shark. Shark attacks are more likely to occur than when the water is clear.
Leave the water quickly and calmly if a shark is sighted. Avoid excessive splashing or arm and leg movement.
Stay in a group; most sharks attack individuals.
