wear a black suit,paint the seals day-glo orange.

Don't forget foxes. It's good to live in a country where there is no question about whether it's right to hunt foxes.

In Tasmania the government gives you a $100 bounty if you kill a
fox, kill a fox in the Uk these days and they lock you up.

a lot of sharks are actually attracted to bright colours - red, orange and yellow colours/shades are the main three. Guess what colour life jackets are..lol.
Most fishermen will tell you the same too, a lot of the time a shark will go for the coloured balloon not the bait.. I can tell you that for sure.

Wear these colours you're like a giant fishing lure.lol . blue and white are the safest colours.. but they are not safe for safety reasons when comes to boating etc - ie you'll be hard to spot in the ocean if you need to be rescued

In numerous tests they have proven that these three colours makes them go bonkers. One of the first people to scientifically prove this was Eugenie Clark.. the sharks which she was holding/ studying went crazy with these colours.

forget bright colours - sharks are attracted to them. And if you read the previous statement by "flying dutchman" , that's what he was trying to say too. Sharks are attracted to bright colours especially red, orange and yellow

The majority of shark attacks occur in the evening, early morning and over cast days when they come in close to shore to feed.. and that is when I catch most sharks ( catch and release) .. very rarely do I catch them on a sunny day ( just the odd one now and again) ., only out in the deeper water do I catch them on a sunny day.. I never bother fishing for them in the day near the land for this reason. (unless it's overcast or p*ssing down) .. waste of time. daylight hours is not very good for fishing for them.
Don't know why people are worried about Gw's .. you're more likely to be attacked, killed by a bull shark... common b*ggers they are ( they are responsible for the most attacks on humans worlwide, and not just in Aus) they come right into the shallows.. mostly the very small young ones are in great numbers around Brissie , in the shallows - ie can be just three, four foot of water during the summer months. Manly is full of the baby ones on the out going tide , Birkdale boat channel another one, deadcliffe ( take a walk down woody point in the summer evenings - top tide , for anyone who's living there. You'll see the kids fishing for them on the end.. shorncliffe/sandgate the other one. A Tiger (unusual catch from the shore around there, it's mostly whalers and bull sharks that are caught around that area) was pulled in from there in the shallows a few years ago, two years back I recall. ) Brissie river, you'll get some nice big ones - but nobody swims there... unless they like dirty water. Gold coast canals .. full of them. The last two attacks/deaths took place down there.. an elderly man taking his morning swim across the canal.. and the other a young man who decided to swim in the night.. both of these could have been avoided. Never swim at night, or very early morning before the sun rises - you're risking it in my opinion.

how much does it cost to swim with sharks in aquairiums?

thanks nicola

If you enter the domain of the shark, then you take the risk. The sea belongs to them, not us.

This person took the risk & paid the price. They only have themselves to blame.

Some people seem to be making out that OZ beaches are swarming with sharks, you are playing Russian roulette by going swimming or surfing, what a load of garbage Shark attacks are rare freak events,
the only real danger at the beach in drowning. Look at the statistics.Your 3 times more likely to be killed by being struck by lightning then a shark.
Average Australian statistics:
Shark attack deaths per year: 2-3
Bee Sting deaths per year : 2-3
Dog attack deaths per year: 1-2
Lightning strike deaths per year: 10
Drownings: 500
Road accidents: 1,600

you tell 'em wombat. And Ceri is right, its not just Great Whites you have to watch
