Shark attacks are rare, but they are most likely to occur under the conditions described below:

• Always stay in groups as sharks are more likely to attack a solitary individual.
• Do not wander too far from shore — this isolates an individual and additionally places one far from assistance.
• Avoid being in the water during darkness or twilight hours when sharks are most active and have competitive sensory advantage.
• Do not enter the water if bleeding from an open wound.
• Wearing shiny jewelry is discouraged.
