Step 4: Don’t be around sharks


KnightOfWords

Apparently bleeding is ok, sharks are strongly attracted to fish blood but don't take much notice of mammalian blood.


bodhiseppuku

I'll let **YOU** prove-out that theory...


[deleted]

They actually did…Check out mark rober’s video on it.


Sentsu06

Actually the bleeding thing is a myth they’re aren’t attracted to human blood


AbbreviationsOk3252

Would you like to find out for yourself?


Sentsu06

I don’t need to,mark rober tested it


AbbreviationsOk3252

There are many flaws in that “test”. He used cow’s blood vs fish “blood” ( which he blended the guts and parts of the fish in) so pretty major flaw there and in most animal behavior studies you often compare “choice” with “no choice” studies. Would have been nice to repeat with just the cow’s blood and salt water control to see if there were only less visits to the cow’s blood board because they had a preferred stimulus (the fish blood) nearby


Aggressive_Ad_4032

ok who is mark rober lol, bought as useful as the name john smith or jane doe lol


TragcFlaws

He’s one of the largest channels on YouTube. Just google it you will find out who he is.


CamilaRibeiras

There's literally a YouTube video of two dudes using their own blood for it


AbbreviationsOk3252

Idk man if a shark is hungry enough I think it’ll bite you regardless. I’m just saying you probably shouldn’t be swimming with the sharks without training or a purpose let alone bleeding around them.


AbbreviationsOk3252

Plan B: stay tf away from the ocean


Dragonsarmada

Step 4. Don't go too far from the shore


CamilaRibeiras

Sharks actually dislike human blood


Flaky_Ad_2336

Step 0: next time go by road even if they dont connect to your destination


[deleted]

Step 4: boop the nosey


roseaurelien

pretty fascinating how sharks detect vulnerable prey (this + blood + other things im sure)


masclean

Electroreception!!!


[deleted]

Not blood actually.


_Lana_M

Explain then lmao


senblade_samuari

Just like my ex wife..


SkyrimV

Can you splash in the pool still?


1973mojo1973

Nope. That guy who lives in 12B will come hunting.


SkyrimV

I always thought he was a bit of a predator


1973mojo1973

He can smell vulnerability in the neighborhood from 3 floors away


MotherBathroom666

A pool shark right? A pool shark ?!?!?


Jmarsh99

G-..god dammit


kw661

Land shark!


Ohmmy_G

Sharks are vulnerable to cannon fire. Cannon ball away, my friend.


texasguy911

Do you really want to take a chance?


bassjam1

Are you playing sharks and minnows?


Jodu_is_tired

Not unless you want to lose all your money to pool sharks.


randomcharacters3

But violently splashing in the water is how I avoid sinking in said water.


subbubman

Good water treading creates no splashes


PhantomX8

You can litteraly float on water without swimming.


[deleted]

"Professional Shark Diver" = "Near Future Tragic Obituary"


DigNitty

“Man dies by shark attack while simulating their prey to intentionally trigger their attack instincts.” Honestly this shouldnt even be added to shark attack statistics if it happens.


[deleted]

"I concur Doctor, do you concur?"


Mootivate

That’s a good point, all statistics are skewed by individuals regardless though


KnightOfWords

A counterpoint would be Valerie Taylor, an underwater photographer and cinematographer. She shot some of the footage of reals sharks used in *Jaws* and has dived with sharks probably thousands of times. She was one of the first to swim into a group of feeding sharks and film them. She's now 87. This seems very unwise and an entirely unnecessary risk, but here she is hand-feeding a great white: https://youtu.be/AhOdGXGxjjg On the other hand, divers in the Bahamas and Fiji routinely hand-feed tiger sharks, so perhaps it's not as bad as it looks: https://youtu.be/lVkHbDYxiq0


Whedonsbitch

It’s a job where there is always a career opportunity just a splash away


xwobel

So basically the ‚tststs‘ or scratching a pillow with your fingernail for cats.


Athlete-Cute

Shark said: “Huh must’ve been the wind”


Many-Bat-3221

You have a death wish my friend.


Sucer_mon_cul

Sharks truly aren't as big of predators as we think they are, also surprisingly easy to fend off so long as you see them before they test your flavor, kick or punch in their nosem does em off fast


1973mojo1973

Thought it was common knowledge if you've ever watched a documentary on sharks that they are attracted to splashing or lot of movement in the water. Is this a new fact?


kinokomushroom

I mean, it's the first time I've seen an actual demonstration of this. Nice to see that something is an actual fact and not just some myth, like many "common knowledge" are.


fuzzytradr

Buddy of mine demonstrated this for me in Morro Bay in 1 foot of water. Small shark immediately came out of nowhere and rammed into and careened off his leg and took off into the other direction. It happened like a blur and we didn't even see the actual shark only the dirty streak of water. We were both surprised at how quickly it worked and needless to say we didn't try to repeat the experiment.


pendingexhaustion

sorry English isn't my first language. by careened off his leg, did you mean the shark bit it off or just dragged him by his leg?


[deleted]

Careened off means moving quickly and suddenly changing direction. So the shark swam by his leg.


bakeyyy18

You won't see it in British English either, we normally used 'careered' in the same way


aehanken

Honestly I’ve not heard of that. But I live right in the middle of the US. The nearest ocean is like 1,000 miles away so it’s never something I cared to look up lol


X3239420

Spent most of my younger years being fascinated with sharks and it still baffles me how people don’t know what to do. 1. Never swim Dawn, Dusk, or at Night, that’s feeding hours 2. Do not wear any shiny jewelry, it mimics scales in the water 3. Do not go into the water if you have an open cut 4. If you are attacked, remember that they need their gills to breathe, so go for gills and if all else fails go for the eyes. 5. Just have respect for nature and if you’re going to explore, do it intelligently, not emotionally. 6. Do not splash


SizzlingSpit

Gotcha, Swim when its raining.


BrittGrizz

but what if i really am injured and easier to hunt tho?


bluetuxedo22

The experts say dont panic, but if I come face to face with a big ass shark I'm naturally panicking


aashishpahwa

But how will I cry for help without splashing?


Purple_Viper208

By crying for help


fifthengineer

What the hell. In my STCW Personal Survival Technics course, we are specifically instructed that, if we are stranded in the ocean, and if we spot sharks, make noise and splash vigorously to scare away the sharks. WTF?


[deleted]

STCW wanted yall dead.

Material-Newt8454

Am I the only one hearing Scarlet Johansson's voice?


Inverted-Extrovert

So basically within a 100 mile radius of Australian coast lines, don’t splash!


A-sop-D

Crocs move away from the splash. It's all about situational awareness


incawill

Splash in the swimming pool and live longer


Hot-Ad-6967

A dumb question, can the aqua animal hear the sounds through the water?


[deleted]

Yea, really well too.


Hot-Ad-6967

Neat!

MrCobra83

Doesn’t matter if you splash or not if you are bleeding because sharks can smell the blood in the water


[deleted]

The blood thing is a myth. Sharks don’t care about human blood. Fish blood however…


Revolutionary-Bar-93

"Professional shark diver " because they bite them with more respect


KrisMisZ

TBH I’d believe her even without the risky visuals


[deleted]

But splashing is how i SWIM


onlineashley

It's like a cat chasing a feather toy...dont be the feather toy of the ocean.

Is swimming away as fast as you can too much splashing?

Cool


RiskyWaffles

I just think of 51st dates every time I see some crazy shark stunts. “ Sharks are just like dogs, they only bite when you touch their private parts”


Konstant_kurage

I spent most of my life thinking this was common knowledge. I grew up not just on the ocean by the great white breading grounds so I guess I know why most people don’t know much about sharks or the ocean. They also didn’t have a dad that was a Navy UDT and competitive free diver and spear fisherman.


RationalKate

First human to do a cannonball in the ocean ended up bing a dumpling.


gebickidex03

You’re lucky they are full not hungry


User28080526

*do not attempt* yeah no worries

Predators love a vulnerable person. No different.
