another fatal shark attack in west aust, page-135

Cham to lessen his chances (these are extreme but all have good reasons why they should be followed):

Don't ever surf alone.

Don't surf at dawn or dusk.

If you see bait fish or birds swooping and feeding, get out of the water.

If you see a plethora of marine life in general such as fish, sting rays, dolphins etc get out of the water.

Don't wear any shiny jewellery in the water that can be mistaken for a fish, this includes covering the glint from watch faces.

Use a leg rope with a black ankle strap with no white writing on it.

Don't sit in the same spot in the water for hour and hours on end. Come in ever couple of hours or go to a different spot.

Don't surf near fisherman or fishing boats or trawellers.

Don't surf near islands that harbour Seals. If you see a seal in the water, leave the water immediately.

Don't surf in murky water - this mainly applies to bullsharks.

If you see a shark in the water that's over 2m treat as a lethal threat and move swiftly but calmly to dry land or rocks.

Blowing bubbles can help keep a shark at bay if you are underwater with a shark.

A good punch on the nose is good, as is sticking your fingers right in it's gills or eyeballs.

If a great white bites you once, he WILL come back to finish you off so get out of the water ASAP.
