I swam with sharks about 100 metres off the beach on Phi Phi. Either we didn't smell so great that day or they were more wary of us than we were of them, but they were off like a shot when they saw us.

If you cross the road, there are gonna be occasional accidents. Same same for most things in life.

Llike the article itself says, the chances of a mauling are still extremely slim.

Yeah but I'd bet they weren't 3+ meter Great Whites!

Indeed.

Being a bit of a shark geek, and knowing the stats, that's the point I´m trying to make. Most sharks are totally harmless and every time we have a dip in the water, we're mostly havig a dip without any worry at all.

Mostly anyway
