Mate watch "Sharkwater", you only know what youve heard/been told! There have only been 3 reported shark attacks and the reason you hear more about these attacks is because a) development of the media and b) Jaws! Which produced a cliche belief in many people that sharks are dangerous.

Importantly, if we dive or see them for real we must respect that we are in their territory and we do not belong! "Attacks" are thus garunteed

Ben Horton... Great work! =D
