Make sure you don't end up as fish food.
Most shark attacks occur at dawn and dusk, when sharks feed, says Alan
Henningsen, a marine biologist and shark researcher at the National
Aquarium in Baltimore. You can watch the sky for clues to their
location: Seabirds eat the same fish as sharks. Here are three more ways
to avoid a grisly death.=20

19. Dive with a partner=20
This cuts the chance of a shark attack by 50 percent, say Australian
scientists.=20

20. If you're attacked, hit the shark in its eyes or gills=20
These are its most sensitive areas. The snout might work as a target,
but this tactic often results in a bitten arm, according to a University
of Maryland study.=20

21. For God's sake, don't pee in the ocean=20
Bodily fluids attract sharks.

As we all know, shark attacks are a very rare occurance to scuba divers.
You have more of a chance in getting struck by lightning.

However; if you want to go look for a shark with a bad attitude, then
you will probably find one.  Sorta like Southern California Freeway
Drivers. ;)
