Shark Attack

If you are planning on going on one of thosediving holidays then I will say before I go on that the likelihood of you being attacked by a shark is very small indeed but there are some sharks out there that have attacked more than others. Another point to make is that 9 times out of 10 the shark will not attack a human knowing they are human and will simply mistake the person as prey. So on with the list!

The Great White

This is the one that everyone seems to be afraid of and although most of them will not purposely hunt humans down they are one of the only species of sharks that love their unprovoked attacks however it would seem that a lot of the time it is to do with mistaken identity rather than just going after a human. Scientists feel that the reason Great Whites do not really go after divers is not just because they do not like human flesh but because humans are usually diving with a buddy and have the ability to escape. Great White sharks actually like to take a bite out of their meal to weaken it before they go in and eat their prey, during this time humans are often pulled away by their buddies.

The Tiger Shark

This shark is also high on the list of the amount of fatal attacks it causes on human beings. the reason why contact with these animals is always happening is simply because they hang around in very shallow waters. In Hawaii many people actually go looking for these sharks which is obviously why so many people are attacked over there, many people believe that the eyes of these sharks are actually sacred.

The bull shark is possibly the one that people do not often think of when it comes to deadly sharks but it is dangerous because they hate people in their territory.

Do not let this put you off ofshark diving because in most instances it is a perfectly safe thing to do, the best location I feel has to bered sea diving holidays.
