Sharks Are Not That Dangerous

So many people talk about how sharks are really bad creatures but more often than not this is just stupid. There less than 40 of the 300+ species of sharks that have been know to attack humans which is a very small majority indeed. Where on earth does all of this rubbish about sharks wanting to hunt down humans and kill the lot of us actually come from?

Movies
Massive films such as Jaws and Deep Blue Sea have really not helped when it comes to peoples opinions of the creatures. the chances are that if you do actually spot a great white when you are diving it will not come over and kill you, the media tend to go on about how bad sharks are but they are not and most of the time they do it because you are swimming in their ground. Of course this is all a load of rubbish as a shark will never just go in and attack someone unless they are provoked or starving. Film makers are always putting the shark out to be the bad guy and if you sit down and think about it, we are the ones in their sea!

Water sports
The things that human beings do in the water have increased in popularity over the last few years and sharks will often mistake humans on surfboards and inflatable devices as small seals. The main food source for some of the bigger sharks is of course the seal so can you really blame them for this.

The Press
Newspapers really have no sympathy at all when it comes to sharks and they are really out to get them because the amount of shark attacks that we see across the world look up.

Reality
If you are looking to go on a shark diving trip then you really do not need to worry about being killed. Try red sea diving holidays or of course sharm el sheikh diving if you fancy swimming with the “enemy” or in normal terms, going on one of those diving holidays.
